Readers’ Workouts — March 19

Welcome to Readers’ Workouts where readers prove we can move. Join us to share your exercise stories and find companions for the fitness journey.

We were out of town for a long weekend, but I got in a little walking and did some stretches in the hot tub. I’m only twenty minutes behind pace to reach 1400 minutes by the end of the month. Not bad for mid-month, I’m thinking.

For the 12 K Challenge at Team Kickin It,  I’ve been aiming for two workouts a week this month. My Tuesday workout is 4K total with the two middle kilometers done as HIIT. My Thursay workout is 2K on the treadmill — that’s the workout that will eventually get to 12K if all goes as planned.

With a weird week planned, I went ahead and did my HIIT workout yesterday and it went well. I have my speed up to what it was last month when I was only doing 1K of HIIT. Next week, I hope to nudge the speed up a bit further. Mind you, a trainer would laugh at what I’m calling High Intensity. But that’s why I don’t have a trainer. I know that I can make excellent progress with my fitness, and have no injuries, as long as I do things gently and gradually. It’s when I get in too much of a hurry that I get in trouble.

How is your March shaping up? Are you ready to go out like a lion? ROAR!
