Health and Fitness

I've been shying away from my workouts more often than I'd like to admit but that has been the reality. So now after feeling miserable about the extra jiggles I'm back again on the quest to embracing the healthy and active life style...i'm trying to clean up my diet and slowly build my endurance. The weather is just adding to the misery...I'm waiting for spring to go back to my boot camp classes but until then the plan is to build up my mileage on the dreadmill. I'm hoping to get upto 10 miles this spring. Last sunday I did 5.2 miles. I was thrilled because I really didnt think I would last that long. Not at the pace I'd have liked but what i realised in the last week is that I can choose to either huff and puff at my previously 'comfortable' pace and not last very long or take a step back slow down a bit and work on building back my endurance. As much as I hate that, it is exactly what I did.Yesterday I did 4.15 miles - added a bit of interval training so my ego wasn't bruised all that much. I'm hoping to increase my mileage every week..which reminds me, time to get a new pair of shoes..might make a stop at the running store this weekend.
