Day 1 Report

Cardio:
20 minutes on the treadmill, 1.15 mile run, high pace 4.0 
10 minute cool down

My pace was way low.  It really shouldn't take 20 minutes to run a mile.  At that pace it would take me over an hour to run a 5K.  The first 5K I ever ran I got done in 29:11.  Not impressive but a whole heck of a lot better than an hour.

But I'm grateful I got in a whole mile, I wasn't sure if I was even going to be able to do that.  According to the calendar, July 6 was the last time I ran. It's amazing how quickly the body will lose its stamina.  But on the other side, it doesn't take too long to get it back either...

I feel so good I got that out of the way - it's a giant step towards getting on the right path.  I'm going to do abs as soon as the tv is free and day one will be complete!
