Today, it was a repeat of Monday's Jog 2/Walk 1 for 20 (I did 30!), but I was outdoors. I don't know how far I actually went or how many calories I supposedly burned, but the outdoor workout trumps the indoor workout every single time. Here's a few reasons why:
- The treadmill is designed to give cushion - and lessen the impact of each step.
- There is no wind in the basement.
- There is no uphills and downhills on the treadmill.
- There are no drink breaks outside.
- I don't get interrupted with phone calls outside either.
Today was a success - and I shot beyond the requirements of my plan. Friday brings a new level - jog 3/walk 1 - and next week, is pretty intense... leading me to ask, "WHO THE HELL DESIGNED THIS CRAZY PLAN!!??" Oh, wait... that was me.. OOOPS!!!
Yesterday ended mostly a bust despite high hopes and expectations. I walked with BB around the block twice (about one and a quarter miles) for about 20 minutes. And, then at some point I passed out with BB in my arms for TWO HOURS. I must have needed the sleep - my mom came in town and it must have exhausted me -- I did clean the kitchen and entry way floors (swept and mopped) - does that count toward cross training? hmmm, I thought not.
Everyday can't be a super-achieving day - which is why some days I exceed goal, some does I simple meet goal and others I will fall shy. It happens and will happen again - regardless I'm sticking with it.
