I was recently described as having "spunk and fight." These adjectives were used to describe both strength and weakness in my life. This blog is a story that is being written about how I have left physical and emotional baggage and I am heading forward, packing a little lighter, setting goals, reaching some, falling short at others, but always growing everyday. Won't you join me?

Noticeable Improvement!

Today's Monday which means GRADUAL BUILD DAY!! :) I still don't like it. But I still like what it does for me--theoretically. :)

I did 3.0 mph again and had a two minute cool down. The stats:

Calories Burned: 404
Time: 42:00
Distance: 2.07


This is the same gradual build workout that I did last week. This is my third gradual build workout since I've been back from surgery. The first time I tried for 3.0 mph the whole time but had to hold on and had to drop it down to 2.5 mph. :( Last week I was able to do 3.0 mph the entire time without holding onto the treadmill once, but it was rough! Around 10.0% incline I was huffing and puffing. It was a long 20 minutes doing 5 minutes each of 10.0%, 12.0%, 14.0% and 9.0% inclines.

So, here's the good news: this week did not get super rough until the 14.0% incline and the 9.0% 'cool down' incline was fine! That's a very noticeable improvement!!! Dare I say that my stamina is rebuilding?!?! :D

Next weeks gradual build will be at 3.2 mph. :) I will get back to 3.5 mph soon enough!
