Cute Blonde Jogger

One of my fitness goals is: I enjoy jogging 3 miles in 30 minutes three times a week.

I want my outward appearance to match my personality. I want to be that cute, blonde jogger girl. I want to be healthy and strong.

Today I began my jogging regiment. I've been working out since Nov. 1, and my personal trainer (who also happens to be my mom) says its time (I'm ready, too)!

Tuesdays: 1 mile interval training to increase speed and cardio endurance.
Saturdays: 3 miles and an easy pace to train for the distance.

The plan will change as I go along. I'm excited.
Today:
Walked 1/3 mile to warm up, then stretched.
Jogged 5/12 mile, walked 1/6, jogged 1/4 mile, walked just over 1/12 then jogged to finish up the mile.
Walked 2/3 mile cool down.
Total time: 40 min. Total Distance: 2 miles. 1 mile time: 18 min.
Total jogging: almost ¾ mile!!
If I had known I was only 1/12 away from jogging half a mile without stopping, I would have kept going! UG!!! But, I was trying to figure it out and apparently I can't do fraction addition (including converting) and move my feet at the same time! Haha! I'll have to work on that, too!

3 miles in 30 minutes isn't a jog, it a run!!! Lol I am running 11 minutes miles right now but 3 miles in 30 minutes is my goal too. You are doing so awesome. I am so excited for you to reach your goal! We need to hang out SOON! I haven't seen you in a while. I have been so busy. I picked up 2 extra families for a few months. So that means I have had kids at my house 5 days a week, sometime 2 families in the same day. Yikes! Love ya.
