Isn't it great how a new piece of technology just gets you all excited? I am loving my new watch! Today I went to the track to try out the lap timer. Even though the track is almost in our back yard (we face a school), I had to walk around the school to get into it which gave me a 6 minute warm up. I did 5 laps with the interval mode going and finished the five laps with a better than 16 minute pace! How amazing is that? I was so excited to get done with the 1.25 miles and see less than 20 minutes on the timer. My worst lap was my first one probably because there were other people and kids around and it feels kind of dorky to launch into full out speed walking in front of others. I got over that pretty quick though.
I feel like I am just discovering what I can do when I push myself. I think working on the track will be helpful since the laps provide an easy way to measure distance.
Tomorrow is either a slow walk or a rest day, I don't want to burn out or injure myself pushing daily just because I am excited. Plus I am cooking a big meal for my guests tomorrow so I will have lots to do.
Can I say it? Woohoo!
