My training officially started for the Disney Half-Marathon today!! Yeah!!
I went to the gym, and did a 35 minute run on the treadmill. It was a big deal for two reasons:
1. My fear of the treadmill. Since that one time I went to the gym with Tom and he neglected to show me the emergency stop and I shot off the back.
2. I haven't run on the thing since (about 5 or 6 years now).
So I did the 35 minute run, at a negitive integer. This means my first mile was done with the treadmill set at 5.2 an 11:28 pace, the second at 5.3 at an 11:16 pace, and the last at 5.4 at an 11:06 pace. It was WAY harder than I thought it would be, but I felt pretty good and burned 472 calories and ran 3.1 miles.
