Picking Up The Pace

This is the third week that Lance and I have been going up to the track at 5:45 to run for 30 minutes. We kicked it up a notch this morning! Previously we were running for 90 seconds and then walking for 90 seconds. Today we started running for 90 seconds, walking for 90 seconds, running for 180 seconds, then walking for 180 seconds in intervals. It has definitely gotten harder, but it was a little better than I expected and I'm actually starting to like the fact that we have to get up so early to run. After we finish, Lance has to race home to shower, check on Finn and then get to work by 7 am. I usually just relax and watch the Today Show after we finish running, but last Friday I was worn out! I came home and took a two hour nap and was pretty useless for the remainder of the day.
I'm so proud that he and I have been able to keep this up for our third week! For months, Lance and I have been wanting to start running and this group just happened to start right after I moved home. It is so much easier to get up and run when you know that a group of people are waiting for you every morning and it is much easier to run when you have someone else watching the clock and telling you when to run and walk! We'll be ready to run our first 5K in no time!
