From Walking to Running

Today I started my new training program to move my ‘intentional movement’ from walking to running. I did a loop from home down the waterfront past AT&T Park. My intervals were 3 minutes walking followed by one minute running. I did just fine.

Time: 54 minutes 29 seconds

Distance: 3.19 miles

Avg Pace: 17:05

Calories: 313

I realize that stretching is probably really important to prevent injury, especially now that I’m picking up the pace a little, so I’ve added some before and after stretches.

Feels good!

Also, I signed up for next half marathon … the Rock and Roll Mardi Gras Marathon in New Orleans on February 28th. Woo hoo! I’m recruiting if you’d like to join in on the fun. We already have a couple of women who were on my Nike training team going. The more the merrier!
