Day 2 - The 30 in 30 Run Challenge

A better run today - 5.5km; a very consistant 10 in 1. Incremental speed and with no sign of breathlessness!

I'm at 11.5/48.2km (23.8%)

Day 1 - The 30 in 30 Run Challenge

Day 1

Skipped out on breakfast (had 3 clemintines instead) and headed to Goodlife (for the first time in months! Makes me cringe when I think about my idle membership there.

Did a little bit of stretching, and hopped on to the treadmill.

Things I forgot was to bring a bottled water (drank from fountain instead). No watch. Phone ran out of battery. Good thing for my iTouch :)

First 10 minutes was pretty tough, and it only got tougher after that. 10 and 1 intervals became 10 and 2. Followed by 10 and 3.

After an hour of struggling to keep a steady set interval run I ended my workout at 6km.

I'm at 6/48.2km (12%)

Thinking some need for speed and consistancy is in order.

Until my next workout... :)

The 30 in 30 Run Challenge

It's been nearly 3 1/2 months I have been rather in-active - the last time I did a run was in fact on my cruise trip last October. And that wasn't much of a run from what I recall (the ship was rocking so badly, I had to grip on to the treadmill to keep steady).

As if a reminder of my lack of activity, today I discovered in my email a little reminder from MapMyRun. Curiosity got me and I clicked it open to find a nice challenge presented to me: 30 miles (48.28032 km) in 30 days. Incentives? Some small prizes if you meet it by Feb. 18th. Given today is the 5th, that roughly gives me about 13 days to make the deadline.

I think I'm up for the challenge. It's about high time I started to get back into my routine (said that many times, but first time in writing!). If I don't make the goal (being realistic...) it still will serve as a benefit by jumpstarting me back into running again. Win Win; I like the sound of that.

Wish me luck!
