Can you see me punching and swaying and throwing fast uppercuts in celebration of my new 2 mile running time?
Okay, yes, I know, it's still slow, about a 13:15 mile. But I am overjoyed at my slow, but steady progress. Last week it took me a little over 30 minutes to do two miles. So this is an almost 4 minute improvement for me! Plus I didn't even feel like I was dying towards the end. I felt full of adrenaline.
I think what helped was that I chose a treadmill that was in view of the stepper machines. There was someone on one of the steppers and this person had a full view of my side. Well, not wanting to look like a fat slow wuss, I ran with my gut sucked in, my head held up high and my arms swinging evenly at my side...as opposed to my normal hunched over, arms swinging madly, hyperventilating stance.
Woo-hoo! Now I just need to keep this up.
