Today’s accomplishment: 4.03 mile run in 33.03 minutes 8:11 min/mi burned 357 calories (used Nike+) plus warm up and cool down. Also 5 minute stretch at the end.
The run felt good and was relatively easy except at the last quarter mile… I started my end of run sprint too soon, and by the last 100 meters I just couldn’t do it any more. My heart rate felt like it was though the roof, coming out of my chest and I felt as if I would nearly pass out when I finished.
The Nike+ is new for me. I have a Garmin Forerunner that I wear on my wrist usually and that way I can see exactly my pace, how far I’ve gone, and how far I’ve got to go. At times I’ve had to “tell” myself to stop looking at it and just run.
With the Nike+ I have noticed that I have to just go since I wear my iPod on my hip. I have to keep going and trust myself that I’m doing a decent pace. I thought my overall pace today was much slower than usual and I was surprised to find out that it was the fastest that I have ever run 4 miles!
I’ll have to figure out how to pace myself at the end a little better, but over all, I think I like NOT knowing how I am doing throughout my run.
I know that there is a feature on the Nike+ where I can check on myself during the run, but I’d rather not look it up and start using it.
Yesterday’s accomplishments (Jan 2): Comcast On Demand video 1 mile walk with booster, 3 lb weights (it’s a 15 minute “walk”); Crunch Brand New Butt 27 minute video using 5 lb weights, and Crunch Joy of Yoga 35 minute video.
I must learn to like, then love, downward facing dog…good for my hamstrings.
