Ok, I started that couch potato to 5k run in 2months program from Coolrunnings this morning that Karen posted........I so will not be doing that again! I knew it would hurt but I seriously think this was over doing it for me.
I was supposed to stretch, do a warm up walk for 5mins, then alternate 60 secs of jogging with 90secs of walking for 20 minutes. I am sooooo out of shape. I did 60sec of jogging with 2 mins of walking and had to stop after 10 mins.
I was ready to pass out and all I could hear was waterfall rushing noise in my ears. Everything hurt, every joint, every breath. My chest was sooo bad I was wheezing like crazy. It took me 30 minutes AFTER I had stopped everything, including cool down to stop wheezing.
I think runnin is for people who dont have an extra person on them LOL. I am going to keep with the power walking, condition myself more and lost about 30-50lbs before trying the jogging thing again. I am just too heavy and out of shape. I thought every joint was going to crack.
I know this will sound funny but everytime I took a step while joggin, I could feel all the fat on my body lift up and SLAM back down. It was like being kicked in the butt/back everytime you put your foot your down LOL!
I know what good excersize feels like for me. When I get done, I feel great. I have all this energy and feel good about myself. When I finished this, I felt like passing out or puking, and actually stood in front of the fan doing the wobble thing. My DH asked me what was wrong from his SLEEP!!! LOL. I think that is just too much right now.
Anyways, just thought I'd share my morning. I am sure someone will get a laugh out of it. I know I did when I thought about my butt pounding on itself
