Yesterday, 8 January, I jogged my longest workout to dat. Well, not hard to do in the first week of January. But it was 8 miles - walked 3 miles in neighborhood, then 15 min walk on treadmill, 30 minute/3 mile run/15 minute walk. Not bad for second week of January.
9 January. It was too cool for me to run at this point, but nice enough to walk. I walked the North 3 Mile Loop I drew out in http://www.mapmyrun.com/ .
It was too dark to see well, the bike path along Arlington Blvd. is too uneven to trust jogging on at night, and there is a lot of traffic along Columbia Pike and Glebe Rd. Hard to see exactly how to go from the side road to Courthouse Rd. Ended up turning South on South Wayne to go back to starting point, so was less than the 4 miles I had planned.
Went to the treadmill to do some more. Walked 15 minutes, jogged 30 minute and a 10 minute/mile pace, and walked 15 more minutes and stretched. a total of 8 miles for the workout-- Not bad for a fat 46 year old in the second week of January. I just have to concentrate on form, breathing, stretching, and listening to my body very carefully to stop running before there is an injury. A strained muscle is what has historically been one factor to throw me off of a regimen. Hopefully, not this year.
