365 Floors To 2000!
Thursday, October 28th, 2010
Hi, friends!
Remember yesterday when I thought I’d do a workout last night? LOL. I’m such an overachiever sometimes.
I did 163 floors in 30 minutes last night followed by 15 minutes on the treadmill. Then I got up this morning and did 169 floors in 30 minutes and another 15 minutes on the treadmill. I feel pretty awesome about that.
I’ve realized lately that my post-climb treadmill time is getting more and more intense. I used to just walk at about 3.0 with a 2.5-5.0 incline. The last couple weeks, I’ve been starting there, but after about a minute, I’m running. I never thought I’d enjoy climbing stairs then running right afterwards, but it feels really good. I ran with a 5.0 incline last night though, and this morning, my right knee wasn’t about to let me do it again. It didn’t hurt climbing, but as soon as I kicked up the incline running, it said stop. So I did. I ran with no incline and no pain. Hooray!
I need 365 floors and 20.21 miles to meet my October goals. If I weren’t running a 5K Saturday morning, I’d be absolutely certain to meet both of those. However, I am running a 5K Saturday morning. My plan is a slow bike ride tomorrow just to get out and enjoy being outside, the run Saturday morning, stairs at the gym Saturday afternoon and more stairs at the gym Sunday morning. It will take about 65 minutes total to do the 365 floors. (WOW! I’m roughly an hour away from 2000 floors in October!) I could do all 365 in one workout, but I’m not sure I want to. That just sounds like a lot to ask my legs after they run. If I feel awesome, I’ll do it though and take Sunday off. Off sounds so yummy right now! 
I’m very much looking forward to getting home tonight. This week has been a lot to take in, and I really can’t wait until next week when I can explain why. Ugh.
Hope your Thursday rocks!
