Day 101 - Treadmill Sprints

I'm jogging.  It's true, I have 70 lbs left to lose, and I'm jogging.  I figured I'd need to lose at least another 30 lbs before I tackled jogging, but twice last week I did jogging/walking sprints/recovery on the treadmill.  Yippeee!

Why am I so happy about jogging?  Because it shreds fat.  Seriously.  Shreds.  And builds leg muscles like nobody's business. 

Okay so am only jogging at 6 miles per hour, but that doesn't bother me a bit.  On Saturday I did 7 sprints.  My total workout time was 30 minutes.  I warmed up for 5, then alternated between one minute "sprints" and 1.5-2 minute recoveries for another 22 minutes.  Closed it out with a 3 minute cool down. 

I feel great.
