In February of 2010 I was pushing myself physically to just walk on the treadmill at a speed of 3.6 and now I'm running!
I started running in November of 2010 to start getting my heart rate up (walk 2 minutes, jog 1 minute). Since then it has been a personal challenge/goal of mine to run a race and run it well. I'm finding that having a goal in mind helps keep me focused on keeping things going in the right direction. My running today consists of walk 1 minute run 4 minutes for a set duration of time or a set distance (Jeff Galloway method).
I started road biking in September of 2011 and I love it! My long term goal is to participate in a mini triathlon.
