771 minutes of exercise this month so far

771 minutes of exercise this month so far.  Averaging approximately 26.5 minutes of exercise a day.   :)   Yahoo :)

Would like this average to be a little higher. Next month I will try for longer time on the treadmill.

Can't wait for the Color Me Rad Fun Run this Saturday!   See https://www.colormerad.com/

Left and right hip pain and back pain made it difficult today but.....

Left and right hip pain and back pain made it difficult today but I did it anyways and I'm glad I did because I feel terrific now. 

The entire first mile I felt like stopping because of the hip and back pain.  I was going slower about 5 mph.  To help get through it I stepped off to the side on the treadmill and stretched and stretched my back, calves and hip flexor muscles. 

It wasn't until just before the second mile did the pain start to subside.  In the 3rd mile I felt so good I did intervals a 1 minute at 7.5 mph and 8 mph  :) :) :).

Now I feel really good.  :) :)

I think the key is to stretch, stretch, stretch, before, during and after exercise.

45 minutes today on treadmill over 3.5 miles (didn't write exact distance down) .

4.0 miles in 47:40 minutes at the aqueduct - with hills and valleys - just beautiful!

I was able to run after that 5 K in less than 30.

Ran 4.0 miles in 47 minutes and 40 seconds with the hubby at the Aqueduct . It was beautiful up there.  Next time I will bring a "go camera" to show you just how beautiful the desert can be!  :)

Not as fast as I would like but you have to take into account the hills were pretty brutal.
