Oh my goodness! It's been forever! So you know my "shin splints"? Yeah, those were actually stress fractures. In both legs. :P So I had to take off for two months. Then I tried to get back into it with the indoor triathlon club, but started having pain reappearing in my left leg (I think because of the slant of the indoor track) so I stopped for about another month just to be safe and be sure it was totally healed. But now I'm back running with Daisy dog outside and it's 68 degrees and sunny! :)
Because of how long I took off, I decided to start the program over again, so here's today's rundown:
Week 1 - Day 1
1 min run / 1 min walk
Time: 16:28 min
Distance: 1.7 km
Calories: 94.9
Avg. Speed: 6.3 kph
Avg. Pace: 9.5 min / km
The first run bracket I went out too fast (It felt so good to be back!) and was pretty out of breath for the first walk bracket. After that I held myself in check a little better.
This restart couldn't come at a better time for me as far as de-stressing goes. I'm in a paramedic program this year and the first semester is coming to a close with practicals and a comprehensive final looming next week. I'm also just recovering from a nasty bronchitis/pneumonia type thing so exercise is very welcome right now! :)
