Too much?

I ran this morning. Not for long, mind you, but relatively quickly, given my current condition (I should say my current conditioning or something because now you totally think I'm pregnant). I ran a total of 1.66 miles in 15 minutes, which puts me on an average pace of about 9 min/mi. Keep in mind that I just about freaked out running one mile at this pace a few days ago, and that sounds way cooler than it does right now.

I started with about 30 seconds at 3 mph, to get myself moving, then went to 6.0 mph until I hit the 5 minute mark. I moved it up to 6.5 for the next 5 minutes, then decided to finish strong. So I punched it up to 7 at the 10 minute mark, and did 2 minutes there. Then up to 7.5 for another two minutes. I finished at 8 for a minute and then tried very hard not to vomit for about 7 minutes. not my finest hour probably, but certainly a decent workout. I'm hoping when I do it again tomorrow, I won't have nearly as much trouble with it.

Also worth noting: this run at my current weight apparently burned 300 calories. Yes, 300 calories, the same number of calories to be found in the first breath you take after opening a bag of Skittles. *sigh*

If any of you run or swim or bike or anything else, check out this site: http://www.runningahead.com/

It's a great free way to track your runs, swims, rides, lifting sessions or most anything else you can think of. you can track your weight or rep increases over time with charts they make for you, or see how your run time on a given course has improved. You can even keep track of how many miles you put on a pair of shoes. Very cool stuff.
