Interval training

So today was my third interval walk, and the first one that didn't totally suck.

The first one I did outside on my parents very flat street. I attempted running between mailboxes, but that didn't work out so well. I am so top heavy that I ended up almost falling over with the extra exertion. I then did race walking, and that seems to work out much better at this point.

I did the second interval walk on Tuesday morning on the treadmill and it sucked royally. I was having technical difficulties with the computer (more on that later) and had to keep hopping on & off the treadmill to fix the glitches. I only lasted 25 minutes and it was REALLY hard.

But today...it wasn't so bad! I did the entire 30 minutes and the interval was do-able. I even shortened my time from a 20 min/mile to a 19:21min/mile. Yay! I am starting to have some hope here!

The other thing that was awesome, I read my Disney Passporter for about 10 min before my walk. It was totally motivating, because I know if I am going to get there it HAS to be for the Princess. I will post links if anyone is interested.

I am beginning to accumulate a list of "wants" for training and for the race. I think I will also be posting those and using some of them for motivational rewards. I will keep everyone updated on what things are on my wish list and if I get them, if they are worthwhile or not.

Keep pluging and I will be here right along posting as we get closer to Feb 26, 2012!
