So focus on your running er jogging form!<br /><br />Just DOIT!Just Do Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222284401267683561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4803912926493976058.post-19950155884454768892010-02-22T09:22:02.103-06:002010-02-22T09:22:02.103-06:00Not trying to impress anyone.

"Running" is generally considered 8 min miles or better.<br /><br />13 min is more like a reeeeaaaaaly sloooooow jog or a fast walking speed.<br /><br />Gtats tho I guess.<br /><br />Let me know when you break 9 min miles and I might feign being impressed lol.<br /><br />Just DOIT!!!Just Do Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222284401267683561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4803912926493976058.post-23340413242766215182010-01-29T10:51:56.082-06:002010-01-29T10:51:56.082-06:00Yeah for you,
As one who has started over so many...Yeah for you,<br /><br />As one who has started over so many times in my life - i can relate. Exercise is far more mental than physical (for me - anyway).<br /><br />My best times are when i have something provocative to think about. If i'm upset about something or really excited about something - then i concentrate on that.<br /><br />But if i'm thinking about the exercise - every minute is a challenge.<br /><br />My own program is usually structured like yours. I don't add on minutes - but i have very steady (small) goals. My mantra is that I have to run one block - 5 times a week - Why one block? Because there is no reason i can't run one block - no matter what i feel like, how tired i am, what the weather is. And once i run the one block, i usually run my regular route. I find the hardest part of running is putting on the jogging clothes.<br /><br />So when i really really don't want to go - i tell myself - "Surely you can run ONE block". There have one been a few times a year that i run the one block and actually come home after that.<br /><br />Good luck to you - congratulations and keep it up.shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531604374000700663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4803912926493976058.post-1530005329238158292010-01-29T10:41:26.325-06:002010-01-29T10:41:26.325-06:00That's awesome!

Instead, I would glance up occasionally to make sure the coast was clear, and otherwise kept my eyes just in front of me so I could watch the sidewalk/path for obstructions.<br /><br />It's 95% mental. Your body can do so much more than your mind thinks it can.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740164697167002958noreply@blogger.com
