I HAD A DATE LAST NIGHT.....

I had a date last night. Anxious? Yes. Nervous? Not really. Mentally I prepared myself for a tough meeting but once I warmed up I knew it would be alright.

I had no idea what to wear and managed to still feel self conscious in what I wore. I tried not to look in the mirror during the entire date but sometimes it couldn't be helped.

Ok..I can't keep going with this any more! It's getting too silly!!!! I had a "date" with the treadmill last night!! I'm trying to make this a regular date - Tuesday and Thursday nights during my "off" time from my regular workouts.

I did interval training (running for 1 minute, walking fast for 1 minute, running for 1 minute..etc) on the treadmill for 60 minutes!!!! I was SO PROUD of myself! I could've kept going but a) I was getting pretty bored and tired of avoiding myself in the mirror in front of me) and b) my legs were worn out and I didn't want to fall off the treadmill.

It's funny because I was never winded during the entire workout but my body was fatigued. My insides could keep going (if that makes sense) but my outer body was finished. Too bad because I really think I could've gone another 30 minutes!

Also, I've noticed an increase, not just in time, but in the pace of my treadmill workouts. When I first started my "run" was at a 3.5 pace and that was enough for me. Now I'm at 4.8 run and I could easily get over 5.0 if I really wanted to push it.

Don't get me wrong - I'm pretty sore!!!!! But it was worth it! And to hear Laura and Chad tell me I did a good job on the treadmill meant the WORLD to me! I swear, I smiled the rest of the evening and probably in my sleep! :)
