Glad to see everyone did well on their Holiday runs seems we are never happy with ourselves. As for me not any runs got alot of walking in did not overeat at least for what norm has become. But Monday it was back to my reg run wore my GPS it is 3 1/2 miles. Seems like first day out is always a bit slower and I bought new shoes and was re adjusting tieing them. Had a great eating day have decided its time to get this STUFFING I have put on off. So really cut back....{maybe too much I DO KNOW BETTER!} I ran this morning shoes perfect felt great first 1/2 and then it was like I hit a wall I have never had SUCH a hard time I walked a good deal of it I felt really discouraged. I have decided I need to eat first.The other thing is I am going through some emotional stuff and was kinda drained maybe that was itBUMMED Tommarro will be better :}

Today was much better had oatmeal awhile before I ran help I think also quit trying to improve time and just make sure I ran the whole time today MUCH better time was still good.

So I told myself I wasn't going to run for one month, but my fiance and his friends are driving out of the city to this huge complex to play basketball on Sunday and I CANNOT miss that chance to run out there!!! I've been dying to go for a long run out in the fields around it- there's just nothing like it in the city and I'm so tired of all the routes I usually take here. It's an hour away so we rarely get a chance to go out there.

So excited.... maybe I'll bump my distance/time a bit... which is the exact opposite I said I would do! Oops.

deva sorry about your wall Remember to ease into your shoes- that was a mistake I made earlier this year. Maybe it's for the best you only ran 1/2 mile in them- I think slowly adding mileage to new shoes is the recommended way of breaking them in.

aka So I'm curious about the 10k program you are doing. Are there advantages of doing a program versus just adding 5 minutes to your long run each week? I've never done a running program but have always been curious about that! Congrats on finishing your first run of the program
