burned about 350 calories between the walk/run and the strength/stretch workout.

Great workout . I've told myself over and over that I'm going to do a workout like that, but always go back to my workout DVD's.

nancy,

running today! My kids are done with school Friday and there are no

However, I'd dressed to do weights, meaning I'd put on cross

trainers, not running shoes and when I bent down to tighten my laces

before I got started, I realized that very quickly. I decided to go

ahead with it anyway. It was okay but I'd have much preferred to have

running shoes on, I can really feel the difference. Besides that, I

was a LOT more intelligent than the last time I tried running. I did

the 3 mile path I used last time but had a plan to walk (fast,

heartrate in the moderate zone) 1/2 mile and then jog 2/10ths of a

mile (the path is marked in 1/10th of mile increments), then repeat

that cycle. The first run interval I got my heart rate way up but was

going at a mostly slow pace. The 2nd time I opened up my stride and

really worked it and wow, did that feel different. I could really

feel the jarring. It felt good in some ways and was a bit unnerving

(because I was concerned about the effect on my joints) too. I did

that interval cycle for the first 2 miles and then I noticed my right

hip and knee bothering me and my right thigh tightening a bit so I

slowed down to a low moderate pace, then further slowed to a very

gentle pace to baby it a bit. By the last 1/2 mile I was able to get

back up to a fast walking pace and finished that way. I stretched for

a long time afterwards (holding most stretches at least 30 seconds)

and feel good now. My right hip and knee are a bit sore but not

terribly. I might take some ibuprofen later if it seems necessary.

When I got home, I still wanted some weight work (today was planned

as a circuit day) and also wanted to do the core workout from the 10

Minute Solution Stability Ball Workouts DVD (the last one I needed to

try out). So I did that one, plus the upper body workout (love it!)

and the stretch (yum!) from that DVD. The core workout was good but

I've done others that length that felt like they were doing more for

me. I felt GREAT when I got done though!

Thanks !

I know what you mean! I probably would have gone out a few weeks ago but my DVDs are a comfort zone for me and I needed that more than the challenge of running. I'm okay to step out (literally I guess) for now.
