That does have a nice ring to it! :) Usually before a run I have a bit of chocolate milk. It sits nice in the belly. Or a cup of skim milk with chocolate protein powder...good fuel too! lol! Don't worry, it's not your age cause I'm 54! Try mixing up longer runs with a couple of shorter run days in between. Some days are just bad run days, too. If you still struggle after a mile or so to get into it then maybe just play around with speed work to build up your stamina. Start with 30 seconds fast, then 30 seconds jog for about 8 times then slowly build the time uo to a minute on and one minute off. Maybe something like that will help. I "youtubed" a bunch of running videos that really helped me in the past. I now love to play around with my runs as I build my mileage back up again. Good Luck to us both and our mileage building! ;) Estoy entrenado! That does have a nice ring to it! :)

I love to say "I'm in training", yes! Here in Latin America it goes "Estoy entrenando", which also sounds suberb. Happy running to you too! Thanks for you answer!

Don't you love saying, "I'm in training"? I'm getting my running groove back after a bad hamstring injury from skating this winter, so "training" is great! :) happy running, kiddo!

I so agree with you... We need to keep busy, but to make those activities meaningful to us and to others. Doing something useful will make us feel good about ourselves, and that also has an impact on the way we feel, and consequently on our eating... Thanks for you comment!

Boredom is also a huge part of why we eat...I am trying to rather do other things when I know I am bored instead of eating. Phoning a friend, taking a walk in the garden, blogging...JUST SOMETHING!!

I'm at the weight you were @ when you first started and am hoping to get down to the 50-52kg range over the next two months. I started a similar running program and its funny how just 3 minutes can leave you winded. I ran faster for the first two minutes and then slowed down my pace for the third minute and managed to work through it. Good luck and looking forward to seeing your progress on running 5K!
