The other day, I was was on Pinterest, as I usually am several times throughout the day, and I found this treadmill running challenge. It was something that I said I would do someday. Well, that day was sooner than I had expected. Tim decided to hit the gym early last Friday, and I wanted to go too, since I couldn’t run at home with no one home to watch Cooper while I ran. So, treadmill here I came.
I did the beginner’s running interval treadmill workout, or I should say, I tried to complete it. I made a couple of minor changes due to the fact that I am not quite up to this workout even after the couch to 5k and the beginnings of bridge to 10k.

I got to the last bit of running and I just couldn’t catch my breath, so while I didn’t run as fast as she suggested in her challenge, I did run the same number of minutes. I was satisfied with that. And, I’ll tell you, I believe that that was pretty good for a short legged chubby girl. What say you?
I am not a fan of running on a treadmill, so for those of you who also despise treadmill running, both of the above were a great workout for me, a beginning runner. There is an intermediate workout as well as a challenge workout. I’m sure for those more experienced runners these would be awesome!
What is your go to treadmill workout? What do you do for a workout if you only have 20-30 minutes? I’ve defaulted to walking/30 day shred/strength training. I was pretty glad when Pinterest showed me a new way to workout!
Have a great day!

Awesome job! I dispies the treadmill. I feel like a hamster on one of those wheels., so good for you for sticking with it! I might have to try that when I'm forced kicking and screaming on the treadmill. Thanks!
