Back to the Treadmill....

Just wrote a decent post and it didn't save properly.... urghs! Anyways, I went to Val's to workout this evening. I decided to do an incline of 2 instead of the 1 I usually do. By the time I hit 8 minutes, I was feeling so tired! I told Val, I'm only doing 10 for the first bit tonight. She just said, try 12. Once I got to 12 I remembered that the pain doesn't get worse so I can definitely push through it. I decided, I'm going to do 20 minutes of straight running! And I did :) My highest time before was 17 minutes on an incline of 1 so I was quite happy to beat that. I did a speed of 5 (can't remember what my speed was last time). So I ended up doing 20 minutes of running, 8 minutes of walking, 10 minutes of running and then 12 minutes of walking. A total of 50 minutes on the treadmill. I followed this with 10 minutes of stretching. It was a good hour long workout and I feel quite accomplished :)
