\"\"<\/a> Running this past week has gone a lot smoother. \u00a0I was getting so frustrated with having to stop and walk during my run. \u00a0I also noticed that the second half of the run, which was mostly in a straight line, always went a lot smoother.<\/p>\n

Was this because I was warmed up or was this because I was running on a flat surface?<\/p>\n

I decided to test my theory and ran down the main road to a big intersection. \u00a0One way was a mile so I ran down and back.<\/p>\n

And I was able to run the entire time!<\/p>\n

I have been doing this route since then and I can run the whole thing without stopping or feeling like I’m totally out of breath.<\/p>\n

The trail I was running on has a few little hills on it. \u00a0Nothing major at all. \u00a0However when you’re out of shape and getting used to elevation, they become a huge deal.<\/p>\n

I’m going to keep going in a straight line but increase my mileage and then eventually work my way back to the trail.<\/p>\n

Another bonus is that I have my Pearl Izumis back! I liked the Mizuno’s<\/a> just fine and they served a purpose but I LOVE the Pearl Izumis so much better.<\/p>\n

Pushups:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Started Week 2 of the challenge! \u00a0So far things are going really well with the pushups and I’m able to keep up with the amount each day. \u00a0I know it will start getting really challenging soon though!<\/p>\n

Planks:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m still at the 1 minute mark. \u00a0I am able to go a little past a minute but not by much. \u00a0I’m okay with this because I’m not looking to hold a 10 minute plank. \u00a0I just want to increase my core strength.<\/p>\n

I have to do the planks at the end of the day. \u00a0I tried doing them right after my run but my legs weren’t having it!<\/p>\n

How’s your week going?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
