SCREEECH!!!! OK let's back up here a bit...This is how I'm feeling as I'm walking into the gym. I really wanna turn around and go home, but the parking lot is full of people who will see me and think I'm a chicken. I get out of my car and head for the door. As I'm crossing the lot a little old man gets out of his car that's parked in a handicapped spot upfront. Well damn! If gramps can get his workout on ,then I guess so can I. Here's goes nothing...
So I'm standing in front of the treadmill, when it occurs to me. Not only have I NEVER been in a gym..LOL..really. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW TO USE A TREADMILL!!!. AHHHHH!!!(me screaming silently inside) Now this is really not seeming like such a good idea. There is no one on the treadmills to the left or right of me, so I breathe a sigh of relief that no one will notice my confusion. OK so I step onto the treadmill, (trying to look like i know what I'm doing) , adjust my earpieces and press QUICK START. Thar's it and the treadmill starts moving...YAY ME!! A lady steps on the machine next to me, adjust her speed and incline, and I follow her moves. I only go to incline 1 and speed 2.0. I'm not crazy! And I'm off to the races....
It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.The total workoput lasted 27:00. not too long, not too short. I felt really good! Not winded, but I definetly felt my muscles moving. :) A little different running on a treadmill, than running on pavement, I'll get better as I go along. I was sooo scared walking into the gym today and starting this running program. Now I don't know why. They say the first step is the hardest. They were right. But the last step makes you feel accomplished.
Week 1 day 1 ..COMPLETE!! YAY ME!!!
