Cardio – Yup, A 5 Miler
( See all Cardio Exercises entries here)
Today was Saturday. And I was planning on doing a rest day but I just couldn’t. My legs were craving the running. I just wanted to go out and run. I mapped out a 5 mile route around my town and went for it. I had settled into a pretty steady pace around 9:22 for the entire run. I had a couple of places where I was keeping close to a 9 minute mile and on a small section of major road where I did not want to spend any time at all I was under the 8 minute/mile pace. It was a great run and I am still amazed just how much I can run if I wanted to. I have burned 753 calories in under 48 minutes. This is by far the fastest rate of calorie burning I have done which is just great.

I think you’re hooked!
