Let's hear it for Interval Training!

Oh my wow!
I had the best interval training ever yesterday!

I restarted the C25K training that I used to begin this journey.  It's amazing that back in February when I started I was walking at a 3.5mph pace and "running" at a 4.0 mph pace.  Yesterday, I walked at a 4.2 and ran at a 6.6mph pace!  HOLY RUNNING!!!  I RAN.  It was a for real, no doubt about it RUN.  I felt so good stepping off of that machine.  Granted, I only ran that pace for one minute at a time.  That's just it though.  I started out doing the same training at such a different place.  If I could go from there to here, there's no telling how far I can get in the next 6 months.

Today was just a slow walk to get the heart moving and burn some calories.  I was so sore from yesterday's intervals I couldn't do anything else.  Tomorrow is Week 1 Day 2 of interval training.  I hope to keep that 6.6mph pace and complete my September 5K in under 32 minutes!
