Oh yeah!
It occurred to me that I haven't mentioned what my workout plan is. I have read that in order to increase your endurance while running a run/walk routine is beneficial. A friend of mine walks 5 mins and runs for 3. I decided to switch it up since I need to get over my laziness and I love a good challenge. I tried my combo a couple of weeks ago and I was only able to run 2x. I almost died attempting the 3rd time. Since then I have not worked out at all. When my shoes came I wanted to break them in immediately so I headed directly to the gym. Because my feet weren't killing me I was able to run/walk for 35 mins then I walked for another 30. By the end of my workout I had 2.5 miles in distance and 400 calories lost. I Probably could have gone further and lost more calories but the quitter in my slowed down dramatically after I ran/walked for 35 mins. I intended to cool down for 10 mins then go home. But my Ipod kept the hits rolling and I saw no point. Next time I'm in the gym(later today) I will keep my speed up and just plan on being there a whole hour. I may come home and do an ab workout. I'll see how I feel after my run. My workout plan consist of one day on one day off in order to let my muscles rest and regenerate.
