today kicked my ass
So week 2 of running, and today kicked my ass. This week the running increased to 2min then walk 1min repeat 7 times. At the end of the workout I was back to being a nasty exhausted wet mess of sweat. But I lost 3lbs last week with the new diet and exercise.
Hello everyone, just wanted to let you know about... →
day 5 & 6 rolled into one because I am a lazy...
Yesterday was day 5 of the running program I am starting, and the final run/walk day of the week. In comparison to the first run/walk day, I did amazingly better. Although I was sweaty, I was not a hot nasty mess of dripping sweat that looked like a heart attack was about to set in as I did on the first day. And when I got off the treadmill my legs did not feel like they were going to give out on...
Day 4 and $50
So today was an interesting day. Enjoying the diet I put myself on (healthy food only), and had some great classes today. Workout was a simple 30min fast pace walk, I wanted to go longer, but I couldn’t. I had to get home and change for the reception for winners of the library essay contest. Yes I was a winner! I took 3rd place, and that earned me free coffee, free cookies (yes I had a...
Yup its day 3 back to running
So today was the run/walk day again. I must say I did better than I thought I was going to.

Don’t get me wrong, I was still a nasty mess by the time I was done. My left calf was a bit soar by the time i...
Day 2 not so interesting
So today was no big deal, just 30 min of walking, wow. But what no one tells you is as you start building this up, you start sweating quicker than you normally would. I walk and I work out, but I have never sweated as much as I have the last two days. Tomorrow is a run day, so I am looking forward to that.
Today was the massive change of diet day also. Normally I skip breakfast. Not so much any...
First day is the hardest
So today was the first day of my training for running. It is a simple routine where you walk for 5 min to warm up. After the warm up you run for 1 min then walk for 1.5 min. repeat this 7 times, then walk for 5 min to cool down. Sounds simple right. Well it is, but if your not used to it, you will know it soon enough.
First few laps are not bad, even with the running you think no problem. then...
