Entry for October 04, 2006
Today I got a great work out at the Y. I've always used the elliptical and I did 35 minutes on that like I normally do. I've occasionally tried to get on the treadmill and be able to run on it, but have never felt comfortable running on it. Today I thought I'd try it again so I got on and ran for five minutes, then walked at a fast pace for five minutes and then ran again for five minutes and walked fast for five minutes and then walked slowly for an additional five minutes. It was such a feeling of accomplishment to be able to run on the treadmill without feeling like I couldn't keep my balance or place on the belt. I do enjoy running so this is exciting to me that I'll be able to run a bit now. It's not the same as out where there's scenery to pass by, but it's an accomplishment.
