I did the Pilates ab workout today, and I think the fact I haven’t tried to do them for almost 5 days as really helped. I managed to get almost through the first two exercise sets before starting to struggle. I am taking that as a sign of progress. I might just only do the ab workouts every 2-3 days for now to allow my abs more time to rest/rebuild, and when they are strong enough I can move to doing them daily.
I also did my walk/run intervals today. The intervals I did today were:
0/30, 5/0
Woo!! 30 minutes of non-stop running! I am very, very confident of being able to do the 5k run at the Manitoba Marathon now. I will register for the marathon in the next month or so. If I can keep improving like I have been as far as duration is concerned, I might register for the 12k run at the Canada Day Road Race 2005 – Winnipeg instead of the 5k. But we will see how I feel closer to June (after June 1 the entry fees go up).
My knee is a little tender after the run, but not as bad as it has been, so here’s to hoping it is getting better.
