Days 3, 4 and 5 of Cardio Challenge

Total miles: 16.8
Goal: 100 miles 


These past few days were super tiring! On Day 3, I only jogged / walked for 2.7 miles. I got home around 530 and had an hour to get ready for dinner so I went out for a short jog. I probably only burned about 100-200 calories which isn't much at all.


On Day 4, I had my weekly outdoor sports activity day. So this is why it was a low mileage day. The league is going to end in mid-September once summer is really over so I won't be able to do many miles on these days until then. But by then my cardio challenge would be over! I got only 2 miles this day probably burning less than 100 calories.


Yesterday was Day 5. I kind of had an idea of what my route would be but I also felt it wasn't long enough so I jogged a little extra. My goal was to do 6 miles of jogging and walking but I wouldn't know until I got home to map it out so I kept going at it as long as possible. I jogged for 30 minutes before I needed a break. I then walked for 10 minutes and jogged for another 30 minutes. I never knew I had it in me! I then cooled down for 5 minutes. So in total I jogged for an hour and walked for 15 minutes - amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was starving by the time I was done so I had a protein shake right after. I checked my miles and I was ecstatic - I completed 5.6 miles! This is now my new bar. By the way, I was jogging pretty slow - probably at 5mph. LOL.


What is the Cardio Challenge?
It is my 3 week period where I focus mainly cardio. More specifically, on walking and jogging as I can track the number of miles done over the 3 week period. The goal? To burn fat!! And I set a numerical goal of 100 miles which is equivalent of about 4.75 miles per day.
