I try to run at least five days a week. The days I don't run I still attempt to maintain a healthy diet. It gets hard to run on the days when I work back-to-back but an effort is made whenever I can make the effort.
I'm really going to try to make my next goal to be able to run 4 miles. I know I can do it. I've run a little over three miles so many times by doing the 5k and I am going to work my way up to a 10k. I struggled for months trying to determine whether I should try to go faster or longer distance. I would ask people their opinion and I got varying answers. So, I would try to just push myself harder which inevitably meant I ran faster. But, now I am thinking I am going to slow it down a bit and attempt to just run a consistent pace, thus allowing myself the endurance to run farther not so much as faster.
I figured it is time in my workout regime to also bump up how long I work out. I attempted to work out for an hour a few weeks ago but after I'd run a 5k the last thing I felt like doing was hopping on another machine and working out for another 20-25 minutes. I would end up just grabbing my stuff and heading out the door of the gym. I got to thinking that a good way to get me to stay longer is to run farther. So, next time at the gym my goal is four miles in an undetermined amount of minutes but I am thinking I can probably do it in about 45 minutes. But we will see..... Wish me luck.
