Oiy!

Posted by: Hilary In: Weight Loss Goal

My hip/back hurts this morning….. Yesterday I decided that I would get on the treadmill and see how long I could jog. Kind of test out my stamina before Patti and I start the c25k challenge. I walked for 5 mins to warm up and then jogged for 2:10!!!! At about 2mins I thought I might DIE, but I didn’t… woohoo! It felt good to be able to go for longer than I expected, which was about 1:20. We are going to slowly prepare ourselves this week and then start 2/3. We are planning to do the training Tues, Thurs and Sat or Sun, so we always have a day of rest in between. Those days seem to work into both our schedules and that’s hard to do! Right now, our long term goal is to run the Irish Jig 5k on March 17, 2010! (yes, 2010) My short term goal is to actually build up my jogging ability to be able to jog 5 mins. We’ll see!

I’ve noticed lately that I have been snacking less at night. I’m hoping my stomach is shrinking and need to remember not to over stuff myself and stretch it out again.

Hilary - nice jog time! You are going to kick butt at C25K. I can’t pull off 90 seconds without willing my legs to keep moving from about 50 seconds on. YOU ROCK! Congrats on the 60lb mark too! Thats impressive! You are very inspiring!

I know you are try to keep from stretching your stomach, but dont forget to stretch those legs once they are warm…. it will save you hour of agony later! Good luck, and I cant wait hear about your adventures leading up to your 5k!

Ugh…I hope I can make it through this C25K!!! I want to be able to run around the city blocks like those crazy EGR people I see on my way home from work in the morning. (@ 7AM!!)
