At the advice of my friend and brother Craig, I have decided to keep a runner's journal of sorts to track what I run day to day. My goal is to get in shape and stay in shape, and run a few races while I do that. I have decided to train for a half marathon (13.1 miles). I will try to follow a work out plan for a novice runner and see how that goes.
Yes the name of this blog is Chafed Nipples...and any runner will get the joke...for me it is one of the worst things about running for me...1. I don't run topless 2. I sweat profusely. 3. I live in West Texas so the weather is HOT and DRY! 4. I run longer distances. All 4 when combined lead to one one thing...you got it...very irritating chafed nipples (also called jogger's nipples)
So here it goes, my first entree:
Monday, July 4th:
Mid-Day: 15 minute Ab workout
Afternoon: 5 minute Stretch; 2, 5 minute runs with a 2 minute rest in between each run (0.6 miles in each run)
Evening: 4 mile run at about 80% speed, in right at 31 minutes; 5 minute walk cool down
Late Evening: 50 minute Chest and Back workout; push-ups, pull-ups, and free weights
Good Luck!
