Mandy's meanderings!

I'm back! Today marks the start of a new regime for me.  I officially own my body again, so it's time to get busy taking charge of it.  Did a .25 mile warm-up, then varied between jogging at 5.6 and walking at 4.7 mph.  There were a few breaks during to talk to my kids, and I definitely felt completely out of shape.  I'm glad I did it though.  I have been taking my kids on a leisurely walk every morning for the past week or so as well.  We go about a mile.  Total time was about 25 minutes.

A little better than yesterday, but definitely not up to par.  Did a .25 warm up, jogged 1.25 miles at 5.7 mph, walked .25 miles, jogged another .5 miles at 5.6 mph, then did a .25 cool down.  Stretching hurt like no other, but I think there might be hope in loosening up the past eight months of stress and anxiety.  Total time was 32 something or other.  

 Also did the early morning 1 mile walk with the kiddos.

I decided to complete a 5k today to see how I did.  I finished in about 35 minutes.  Varied from walking about 4.7 mph to jogging at 5.8 mph.  I think I jogged more than I walked.  I've been keeping up with my morning walk as well, so that's another 7 miles in the past week. 

Starting to feel a little better.  My feet and legs still get sore really quickly on the speed walking part and I get bored jogging so I'm taking several breaks.  BUT, I'm feeling faster and getting stronger.  Did a .25 mile warm up, then jogged at 5.8 mph and walked at 4.7 mph for 2.85 miles, then did a .25 mile cool down.  Total time was right around 35 minutes.  Still getting the morning walk in as well.
