Day 20
24 Situps
5 minutes walking
1 minute jogging/2 minutes walking x 9
7 minutes walking (I took my time going home…)
Total Time: 39 minutes
Total Mileage: 1.97 miles (longest distance recorded yet!)
Now, granted, I am padding the distance a bit with the warm-up/cooldown walks right now (I’ll be dropping from 5 minutes to 3 on either end once I start adding 2 minute jogs, as that covers the distance from my door to the entrance/exit of my complex, now that I’m in better shape and walking faster; it used to take 5), but I’ve also gotten further into the course today than I had at any other point, even with 6 more minutes jogging (which, distancewise, typically matches up as about 12 minutes walking, about the length of my warmup/cooldown), so I’m just slightly ahead of the game now.
Breathing was fine (more than fine, really; I had maybe 1 or 2 minutes of jogging that were tough, and my breathing wasn’t labored at all by the time I was home), but shins were sore (they weren’t really recovered from Tuesday), and went from sore to that burning feeling I was getting right before the knee barked at me, so I’ll keep an eye on them. Iced them when I got home for 10 minutes, and they don’t feel great, but they do feel a lot better.
Saturday’s next, and from there, I’ll decide whether I want to go back to Mon./Wed./Fri. or stick with Tue./Thurs./Sat., depending on how much rest my shins need.
