Today was my first visit back to the gym. Trent was home from work so after Poppy's swimming lesson, he looked after the girls so I could go in. As I didn't have much time, my aim was to do 20 minutes on the treadmill. I began with a walking warm up and then upped the speed. The first thing I noticed was how much everything on me wobbled! Particularly my rear end! Not a very nice feeling. But I guess the only way to get rid of the wobble is to keep doing it. I'm hoping it won't take too long to disappear. I also got very hot very quickly. Not sure if that's because I'm not very fit, or the fact I was wearing 3/4 tights (which I'm not used to running in), or a combination of both. But I'm not too worried about getting hot - might help to sweat off a bit more weight!
20 minutes - 2.5km = 8min/km (this was doing walk/run intervals)
Have booked in to go back again tomorrow.
Goals
My goal at the moment is just to increase the amount of time I'm running/walking for. Once I'm up to 30ish minutes, then I'll think about increasing my run time and decreasing my walking recovery time until I am running for 30 mins. Once I can do that I'll start increasing my pace.
After my pregnancy I only have 3 kilos to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy marathon weight. I'm not at all concerned about the weight as I know I'll drop this pretty quickly once I start running regularly. My main concern is getting rid of the jelly belly and toning up my legs!
For tomorrow - 30 mins on treadmill and core work.
