Wogging

I've reached a new phase in my fitness/wellness journey.  I am now "wogging".   Wogging the term I use for my morning walk/jog intervals.

Each morning I go for a 2.5 mile walk and had worked up to a fast pace walk.  After a few weeks I decided to challenge myself and see if I could jog a little between lamp posts.

I'm not going to kid myself, it was a hard thing to do but I worked up a very nice sweat and elevating my heart rate felt very productive.

Each week I tried to jog a little further by jogging 2 lamp posts and walking 1.  My pace was a 12 minute mile.  Not fast but enough to feel great.

I am now up to jogging about 1/2 of the 2.5 miles at a 10.5 minute mile pace.  I feel invigorated after these wogs.

I'm convinced the cause of my new obsession is the Jawbone UP bracelet.  Since it tracks my steps and pace I only have to challenge myself and hold myself accountable.
