Franny Runs Day One - After the Workout!

Ok I made it! My first 3 mile run walk.

I doned my Asics Gel Nimbus shoes ($120.00), my new Timex Triathlon Watch ($59.00), my short running shorts (yes short!) and technical shirt ($40.00) and don't forget the all important sports bra ($45.00). Yikes who thought getting into shape could be so expensive. Well I guess it beats plastic surgery to firm up the thighs, legs and tummy!

So you are asking how did the run go.

I made it didn't I? It actually was a little better than expected. It took me 57:01:16 to complete the 3 miles. I used a 5 minute walk to a 2 minute run interval. I think that I was running in the Twilight Zone though. It just amazes me that 2 minutes is so much longer than 5 minutes! I still have the issue of breathing. During my running, it just seems really difficult to get enough air into these I think it is time to look for some breathing exercises.

As I was on my 3 mile route I thought can I really work up to running the entire 3 miles? Oh did I forget to mention that I am running the July 4th 5k? That gives me 3 weeks to get to running a full 3 miles. Well it is a 5k Run/Walk!
