It wasn’t much, but it’s a start…
Now that I’ve been released to run by my doctor, tonight marked the beginning of training for the 2013 ING New York City Marathon. Week 1 of the “Return to Running” program provided by my doctor calls for
- 3 to 5-minute walking warmup
- 4 x 4-minute run / 2-minute walk
- 3 to 5+ minute walking cooldown
Not exactly Ironman training, but I’m happy to be back on the road! In total I got in 16 minutes of running and 19 minutes of walking for a total of 2.9-miles completed through the streets of Bellevue.
Cross-Training
Since my running total are going to be quite meager for a while, I’ll still have to lean quite a bit on cross-training to maintain fitness. This afternoon Olivia and I did just over an hour of aqua jogging at the Y. My Favorite!!
Beast Mode…ON!
