Went for a run today! I brought my phone and used miCoach to keep track of my pace and encourage me to go faster or let me know when it is time to slow down, and used Pandora to play some music to keep up the intensity.
Boy... it was difficult. Which is kind of pathetic, because I only jogged about 2 miles over 23 minutes or so. I used to be able to do 3 miles easily in just under 30 minutes, so I still have a ways to go before I can make it back to my optimal fitness level.
But, on the bright side, I know I can do it! I've done it before (I went from a slothful 155 lbs to an energetic 130, so going from 160 to 135 should be no problem at all. It'll just take some severe dedication.
One thing I like about this time around is that I am tracking my calories and my exercise, and meeting a level that ensures at least the loss of 1 pound per week. So if I follow this plan, I'll be guaranteed to reach my goal weight by the time I turn 25.
miCoach also gives you a score when you are done, based on your level of fitness, the elevation changes, and the pace you run. I got a 91%! That's pretty good, considering it was a real challenge!
