Uno Ugghho!

Workout 1 - Brisk five-minute warm up walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

Let me do a little recappage for you all....

7:55:00pm - Find shirt, sweats and socks to wear... dig in closet for workout shoes.

7:57:00pm - A little winded from that process.. not gonna lie. I'm sitting in a chair catching my breath.

8:00:00pm - Turn on treadmill, 3.20 MPH.. No problem. I OWN THIS WORKOUT!

8:05:00pm - Increase speed to 5.00 MPH.. I got this. You are my bitch, workout!

8:05:30pm - I can do this. I can do this.

8:05:58pm - Sweating & breathing heavy.

8:06:00pm - Reduce speed to 2.50 MPH. Oh how I love you sweet SLOW treadmill.

8:07:28pm - O.M.G.. It's almost time to increase speed.. I just got my breathing back to normal.

8:07:30pm - Increase speed to 5.00 MPH. Not bad.

8:07:45pm - 15 seconds down.. 60 minus 15.. how many seconds are left??

8:08:00pm - halfway done.. halfway... can't breath. must concentrate on deep breaths.

8:08:25pm - Might die. Heart hurts. Calves burning. Can't breath. Sweat in eyes.

8:08:30pm - Sweet baby of the Immaculate Mary thank you for turning the clock.. Reduce speed to 2.20 MPH. I hope this never ends...

8:09:55pm - NO! Only 5 seconds left. I.Hate.You.5.00MPH.

8:10:00pm - Increase speed to 5.00 MPH. Hard. SOOO hard to breath.

8:10:15pm - Sweat in eyes. Burns. Eyes. Calves. Heart. Lungs. EVERYTHING BURNS!

8:10:35pm - Passing out is probable. Vomiting is probable. Finishing is not likely.

8:10:55pm - Reduce speed to 2.00 MPH.8:11:00pm - Still can't breath. Reduce speed to 1.80MPH. Still not better. Want to lay down. Want lungs to stop burning.

8:12:30pm - Not ready to run again. Maybe I can walk a little longer.

8:13:30pm - Dear Devil, You win! Sweaty Snuggles, Karla.

So, that's it. The workout beat me.

I should have been walking/running until the clock struck 8:25:00pm. I was 11:30minutes shy of success.

If workout 1 had been successful, I would have waited until Friday to try again.. Apparently I need to train harder.. Tomorrow, I will own you like you're my College Temp, Workout!
