I have been working out regularly for a little over 2 years now. It's something I really do enjoy, but recently I have started to get bored. . So about 2 weeks ago I decided I was seriously going to start running. I have tried this from time to time at the gym on the treadmill, but I am still battling what I call "my fat girl' complex and I was afraid people would stare at me. With this in mind I headed to Chambers Bay, a beautiful golf course on the water surrounded by trails and paths for walking and running. I felt much more comfortable here and started my running plan.
First off you have to know the outside path at Chambers Bay is about 3 miles around with 2 major hills. So my plan was to park near one hill walk half way around to the other hill, run down the hill, come back up the hill and walk back to the car. The first day of this I just new I was going to die!! I couldn't breath, my nose was running, and I am pretty sure my thighs had actually turned to jello, but once I got through all that I felt wonderful!! I wanted to do it again and again. After the first week I increased my running, walk to the hill, run down the hill, walk back up the hill and repeat. So far so good at this point! No vomiting yet!
This Thursday will be week 3 and I am feeling strong enough to increase my running to up and down the hill 3 time before heading to the car. Wish me luck!!
