My CrossFit workout for Monday is to run 5k, 3miles. Tonight after dinner I downloaded an app for my iPhone to track my running and also mapped out a 1.6 mile track from my house. In the morning I will attempt to run this distance in a 10min/mile pace. Fingers crossed !!!
I have been living a very sedentary lifestyle since college. I haven't run any type of distance for almost 15 years. I have played sports that required me to run short bursts of speed for short intervals, such as intramural football and pick up basketball at the YMCA or church league softball, a few times over the years; but i haven't run anything greater than a mile since high school.
I have been playing golf for several years, and occasionally I will walk the round while carrying my bag. I know this is 6-7 miles per round but it is a leisurely pace. I have taken several golf trips that required me to walk 2 rounds a day, and those rounds haven't really amped up my cardio, they did however make my feet hurt.
CrossFit is changing me, not just at a molecular level, but a mental level. It is making me stronger every day, both physically and mentally. I am more determined, I am less lazy and I am eating better, when I don't fall off the health wagon and drink a soda or have desert.
Now that I have mapped out a nice 1.66mile track near my house, I am going to try and run this a few times a week, along with continuing my CrossFit training.
