Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hi!I managed to run outdoors tonight while DD was at her art class. To be conservative and safe (in terms of injury prevention) I decided to do the workout from week # 1of Couch to 5K which is alternating 1 min of jogging/running w/ 1.5 min of walking. I warmed up w/ a 5 min walk, then planned to do 10 cycles of the run/walk combo. It went great - and at the end, after 8 cycles, I decided I would try to run for 5 min straight (so two cycles of just running). I did it! THere was a hill though so I stopped to walk it for about 30 sec and then resumed running. The really interesting part is I got lost! The neighborhood where the art studio in is one of those planned developments where everything looks the same - lots of circles and cul de sacs and - seriously, all the houses look exactly the same! So, I was walking in circles (literally!) checking my cell phone for the time. I ended up having to ask 2 people for directions back to the main road. By this time, I had only 10 min to get to the art studio - so I literally had to run to get there on time. I survived! I don't feel too bad - I may be sore tomorrow, though b/c it is a lot harder to propel yourself forward than to run on a TM. To be safe and conservative, I'm planning just yoga for tomorrow morning - either Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss or Rodney's Yoga for Athletes or a practice from Body Wisdom's Yoga for Athletes. Whew!I'm looking forward to next week's outdoor run!Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
