2 1 2 Running Workout

I'm a little late on this blog but it has been hectic and exhausting (life and work)

-My Yoga workout didn't happen while on vacation due to the class being cancelled
-No running workout last weekend....due to going out of town for my nephews batptism

My schedule changed slightly at work. I have a meeting every other Tuesday at 7:45am so those days I need to leave bootcamp early. Well, now with the time change the meeting got changed to 7am which means I need to be in work before 7am and that leaves no time for bootcamp. With that being said every other Tuesday will be a running workout.

2 1 2 Running Workout
2 Miles outside
1 Mile treadmill 10% (incline)
2 Miles outside

The workout didn't sound so bad at first but the incline kills me with my asthma or maybe I need to learn to breath better. Plus I would finally get to run in my new shoes!!! So here is the progress report:

1 Gu Vanilla Bean flavor warm up and stretching about 7min some jogging, squats, lunges
Mile 1- 9:00 I was feeling good very excited to try out the new shoes, there was no wind going against me or cars coming towards me. I had an idea where a mile would be then I would run back since I had to get on the treadmill so I followed the GPS on my phone
Mile 2- 9:16 It was easier than I thought considering the cars were coming at me so there was a little wind blowing but all in all it wasn't so bad although that mile seemed a little long.
Mile 3 (Treadmill Incline 10 speed 4.5) Well I thought I sucked at it my chest was hurting I started to get a headache. I couldn't breath right but I did run faster to get inside since I had no water and was thirsty. Then I finally notice that they were painting the hall way next to the gym (explains why I had a headache) but I pushed through it, I wish I could of done it non-stop but didn't. I'm not exact on the time of the mile
Mile 4- 10:20 This was my slowest mile I really felt like I was walking not running. All I could think of his how I hate running incline. It felt nice though I decided to go around the block this time and it was a little darker but less noisy from all the cars. To my surprise it was quiet even with all the protesters from Occupy on one of the corners.
Mile 5- 9:42 I finally feel like I caught my breath and got "rest" from that "KILLER" mile on the treadmill. I wasn't so much out of breath as I was on Mile 3 it did feel much better than Mile 4 though. I finished the mile then walked home as my cool down.

Cool Down: Walked up 6 flight of stairs to the rooftop of the parking structure and continued cool down and of course can't forget the stretching (a must) even did a few abs. for about 15 minutes  All in all other than Mile 3 i feel I had a good run.

My speed improved. From the miles ran outside my pace was 9:35min/mi

P.S. I absolutely love my new shoes!!!! I think the people over at Road Runners did a great job fitting me!
