Great Job! Keep up the good work! About two months ago I started my exercise routine again. I get burnt out every once in a while. And have to take a break. We have a treadmill at home for rainy days. I find it really hard to run on it. Not physically. It is just soooo boring.
Give me the fresh air, and a change of scenery! Plus the dog loves going out with me. She just sits there and looks at me as if Im crazy for running inside.
Just remember to take it easy on the road. It is an easy transistion if you take it slow. The road will not give as much as the treadmill does. Your legs will feel different after you run on the road. I find some people get lazy on the treadmill. They let it do all the work. Think about your running stride and you will see what I mean.
Also try to incorporate some low impact exercises into your workout. This will save your joints from too much pounding. And if you are old like me. That is always a plus. Cycling, swimming and rowing are all good aerobic exercises. One thing I find that helps is to alternate your hard and easy days. Recovery time is important. Just listen to your body. You will know when to slow down. Or take a day off.
