Getting Back in Form

I did the Hill Run on the treadmill Tuesday. I'm happy to report I did the full 32 minute cycle. It starts off with six minutes of warm up, 20 minutes of activity, then six minutes of warm down. The total mileage was 1.88 miles. Normally, it is 1.8 miles, but I sped up a couple of the intervals to 5 mph to get in some extra heart rate. As near as I can remember, I only walked one time during the 20 minute run. So, to clarify:

6 minutes warm up: .33 miles
20 minutes of running/walking: 1.22 miles
6 minutes warm down: .33 miles

I felt really good. My muscles aren't so sore, and my thighs are comming back around. I'm starting to think mayber I can do this PHYSICAL TEST thing. I'm also starting to look for a 5k run in September that I can do. I'm excited. If I can find a good one that doesn't interfere with ref schedule, I'm in baby! I'm definitely going to have to pick up the pace a bit to get the 20 minutes down to 12, but I know that once the adreniline rush starts, I'll be fine.

So, today I'm in for another workout. I think I'll hit the streets today. Running on the treadmill is OK, but it is soft. I wanna get in some time on the asphalt.

I'm officially declaring myself a Penguin. If you don't know what a penguin is, search for "John Bingham" on Google.

Waddle on!
