lol daisy! you got me!!

Well, I'm back after 7 days off.

I jumped on the treadmill, and it was like starting all over again. AT one point I had to step off the treadmill, because I thought I might faint.

I was only going at a 4.8 on level 1 with intervals of 4.2 on a incline! It took me 30 minutes to do 2 miles!

I used to do 3 miles in that amount of time, granted I wasn't doing intervals,a nd going much faster....

Anyways...I think I would like to check out the running program you guys have been using...where do I find it again?

Ok Daisy. I printed out the program. I think I can start at Week 6 though, since I have been running for a bit. Just to get me back to where I was, I'm going to start with Week 6 Tommorrow.

I also found more motivation, to really push myself. I got my 10 yr. hs reunion invitation in the mail...it's in about a month...YIKES!

I hate starting over again - It's like you feel so weak and lethargic and can't go as fast - remember never break for more than a week!!! Or you will feel bad!

Anyway - at least I got in a couple of workouts! I ran my 3.4 not so fast - but more importantly I went surfing for the first time. If I was ever bad at some sports, I am def bad at this one - I could barely stand up - I kept rising to my knees! But I have to keep practicing this one move - called the pop up - which gets you from your belly to your feet - it reminds me of the jump thru yoga move (from downward dog to standing up) that I could never do - But I have faith - I was shown a bit easier way to do it - and if I can just keep practicing - I am determined to be a surfer

Plus - it's another great workout - I'm sore in places i've never been sore before - and in my forearms!!

But back to running - so I can keep up my endurance for running after my surfboard when it rushes back to shore and then I have to retrieve it and bring it back out!

That couch to 5K looks about like what my friend and I have been doing on our own. The times of walking and jogging vary a little bit for us. We jog until we just can't anymore and walk for a bit to recover. We try and push it a little bit more every couple days. It's so cool because I notice our recovery time is getting shorter and our jogging time last longer. The human body amazes me! Jogging has helped me learn to listen to my own body a bit more

Hey jessie - I notice you are in LA - anyone else? My friend told me to do the nike 5k challenge - it's a bit pricy - 30 bucks - but it could be a good challenge for those of us in the area. (This sounds bad, but if it's 30 bucks I would prefer a longer race.) I think it is sept 24th. wait - sorry!! it is five miles. so it's good for me! Anyone else up for a challenge????

How is everyone doing? is there a lapse in running?

I finally may be getting back into it in a regular bases -
There are Hills here - Hills!!! I just moved into my new place - and am impressed that the terraine is a bit more challenging.

I ran almost 4 miles yest - and may have done more - but my subconscious always tells me to stop at some point - it was getting very dark out and was almost 9 - but I felt so much safer than in my old place - which is a really good feeling. I lve my new neighborhood. I lived in the "ghetto" before - near USC school - which is where I was afraid to go out after dark alone - and always running along side traffic.

Now - I have hills - its a residential area - so very little - if any traffic. Not too many people - nor sketchy people out - and one day I can run to a park I used to work out at. Yay!

Now I must keep up with it - as I have a five miler race in 2 months! I think my goal is to run it at a 9 minute mile pace. That'd be good.

talk to you soon!

I've been mostly walking lately....ran a bit today. I'm trying to get back in it. I've been having problems with the sides of my calves. They seem to kinda cramp up. My whole calf gets rock hard, but the pain comes from the sides. Jogging seems to help usually, but today nothing worked I had to come to a complete stop for like 5 minutes. I can't figure out why this happens. I stretch pretty good before and after...anyone have any ideas?

I think I'm getting enough water....I usually take my dog for a short walk before I go jogging. When we get back I drink a 16.9 oz bottle and then I drink another one while jogging...and then one more when I'm done on the way home. And usually I'll have one or two more during the rest of the day.

are you getting enough sodium - electrolytes? is your short walk pretty active? I doubt it's too much for you to go running...and you said you are stretching properly. hrm. have you looked on line at all?

It's a brisk walk, but it's only about 2 blocks, so I don't think it really affects it. I've looked online once but didn't get much out of it....I think I'll go google it again. Thanks for the ideas
