I hit the campus track today for my lunch hour. 2.5 laps around the track equals 1 mile. Here is what I did:
-Walked three laps
-Walked and jogged five laps
Did the 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking method.
I have no clue if I did the walk/jog session for 20 minutes. It was hard enough keeping up with how many times I looped around the track and keeping track of my 60/90 second increments.
While jogging I upped my pace a little today and I'm feeling it now. I'm spent.
Another good reminder ladies:
It really isn't fair to your body to go out and expect it to perform for you when you send it out on empty. Just like a car you absolutely do not expect it to perform if it has no gas. Make sure to fuel up before a good work out. If you absolutely cannot eat something before exercising because it makes you feel oogy then do it an hour ahead or even take in a good dollop of peanut butter and a banana.
I'm out.

Preach it sista!
I roll out of bed, eat a big spoonful of peanut butter while I get my workout clothes on. I couldn't stand anything else that early and that helps out a lot.
I like the treadmill. It keeps track of my minutes for me. If it weren't freezing cold outside, I would be outside too. For now I'll stick to the treadmill ... thank you very much.
That's really good advice. I only like to exercise in the morning and often don't eat anything because I worry about getting a cramp. Sometimes I eat a few bites of bread. But, I should try to eat something proteiny as soon as I wake up so by the time I leave I don't get a cramp. Thanks for the reminder.
but not three blueberry pancakes with syrup. i'm just sayin'.
