I was so surprised how fast the minute of running went and after a few cycles of walk/run, I ended up doing 2 minutes for the last run. Because I was just feeling THAT good.
I'm focusing on my stride a lot since I have the time. Really aiming for a mid-foot to ball of the foot strike. When I've run previously, I have been a heel striker and that let to some major issues. Especially when I was running upwards of 5 miles a day and doing sprints. So this time, lets get it right!
Practice does NOT make "perfect". Practice makes PERMANENT. You practice something wrong a thousand times, you wont become "perfect". PERFECT practice, makes perfect.
Looking forward to day 2! Definitely shooting for 4 running days this week, if not a bit more. If today was any indication of what's to come... I'm in for a good ride! Erm... run.
Tonight is a 2 hour skating practice. Also looking forward to this since I was so exhausted yesterday. Up almost hourly Saturday night with baby, so I was really dragging Sunday. Took it off and I'm glad I did. Today was much more enjoyable running wise than if I had pushed it and suffered.
Little steps!
An addendum to the RYBO! madness I'm in... I am also part of a "Biggest Loser" challenge that started today. It will end officially on September 5th and I am aiming to win. I mean, why be part of a challenge if you aren't in it to win? :D I'm such a competitive monkey...
That's all for now! Will update the next workout I finish.
Yours in Fitness,
