Outdoor Running versus Indoor Running

I can honestly say that I prefer hitting the pavement over my treadmill!These past few weeks I have started running outdoors and it is so much more nicer and I get a better workout.Is it harder?Yes it is,but I feel its more of a challenge and I like that.I'm always looking for ways to enhance my workouts and change them up a bit.The most I can go at this point is 6 miles and it doesn't even feel like I am going that far.I definitely feel my legs getting tighter and I love the after burn lol....To all those people that are even curious about outdoor workouts,I say try it!At first I didn't want to workout in front of anyone,however for the most part I don't think people even care what you are doing.So when the weather is decent I say get out there and hit the pavement!Its also nice because the kids get to get out and stretch there legs.I'm hoping my oldest will embrace my love of running and it can be something we can do together....as of now she is resistant,but who knows it can change!

Another Jog in the Park...

Jogged again today at the park and it was nice.I am completely sore from this past weekend though.I could get used to running outside,however I will need to build endurance.I did 5 miles,part walking part jogging.Its nice getting the boys outside for some fresh air too.

Todays Workout...

Today's workout took me outdoors....I usually do not run outside,but today I went with Helen Critchley and my boys and we went to the park with a track...warmed up with a few stretches and a mile walk warm up and then jogged a bit.It was different and fun.I jogged by myself and then with the boys in there strollers...we had a good time and I definetly felt the burn lol.I plan on jogging outdoors more often.Who knows maybe train for a 5 or 10 K run!
