and it went ok.
I can't say much about my time, but I completed 3.1 miles on the treadmill tonight after not having run for over a month. Not bad for someone who has been on a pretty insane weight loss diet for several months!
Distance: 3.1 miles
Time: 40 mins
Avg HR: 148
Max HR: 170
I felt pretty comfortable with my HR around 150-160, and didn't have any problems with breathlessness at higher rates. I do realize my pace was pretty awful, but I'm sure that will improve with more training.
By the time I was finished I could tell I was reaching my limit as far as fuel goes. My legs felt like jelly and I was starting to get a little bit dizzy at the end. When I got home I had an apple, an ounce of leftover chicken, some leftover roasted broccoli and carrots, and a clementine and that seemed to get me back on an even keel. I don't think the apple was the best carb choice but it was one of the only things I had in the house. I'll need to try a few different things for post workout refueling.
I finished my tentative training plan for the half marathon and will be posting that in the next couple days!
