Starting Somewhere

Today's Goal:
 - 30 min "light" jog
 - Nike Training Club - Razor Sharp

I used to joke with a high school teacher of mine that when God plans the weather, He first looks to see if there is a track meet happening. Mrs. Smith would tell me, "I woke up today to see it pouring, so I checked the calendar to see where your track was scheduled."

It's good to know that some things don't change. Starting my outdoor running regime, and the weather is hot, humid, and on the brink of rain the entire time.

My light jog ended up being a 25 min jog, with intermittent walks, covering about 1.2 miles. At about 7 minutes, my body started having a serious conversation with me. My lungs piped up first, "Hey Steph, remember when you were curious about smoking? We don't think you will be anymore"

Then my throat mentioned "Oh, and I bet you wish you drank more water today too."

Finally, my bladder chimed in and contradicted that silly dry mouth with, "I don't think so Throat. Either I'm full to the brim, or I don't have enough Trunk Muscles keeping me in check."

You'll notice the trunk muscles were absent from this conversation.

Thank you body parts, your concerns are all well noted. I wrapped up the run with about 60 total seconds of sprints (10 sec sprint, 20 sec recovery for 6 cycles). This surprisingly enough made me feel a little better than the distance run. That is, until the bug flew in my mouth. Definitely a fitting way to cap off the first run.

The calisthenics in my room went much better. After getting upstairs and eventually spitting out the bug, I powered through the 30 min Nike workout. This part was definitely better than the outdoor run, but there is lots of room from improvement (especially from my silent abs who can't do a 60 plank.)

Well, started somewhere, looking forward to only doing yoga tomorrow...

Tomorrow's workout: 45 min Advanced Yoga session on Nike Training Club
