thank you Lisa

You go girl!!! I dream about jogging or running but have never attempted it - then again I also dreamt about riding a real bicycle again after my surgery and I have done that, so maybe someday I will be brave enough to attempt a short jog on my treadmill (when it's fixed!!). Your post is great encouragement for me to try it.

You rock! Kathy

ps: Good thing you're starting to jog so you can run away from would-be suitors at the grocery store if you have to!

Thanks Kathy!  I do like to challenge myself trying different buttons on the treadmill.  I never know what they are going to make me do

I have taken to wearing my sneakers to the grocery store instead of my shoes LOL

Great news!  That was something that also intimidated the heck out of me... but I worked up to the point where "just" walking didn't get me to that nice sweaty tired feeling any more, so I started adding little segments of jogging to my walks, then eventually connected those little sections into larger sections.  I still can't RUN a full 5K without walking major segments, but I'm a heck of a lot better at it than I was a year ago this time...  And I find that my body actually ends up "craving" that tired sweaty tingly feeling that comes from a nice jog, which is still s surprise every time it happens. ;-)

Keep it up!

Karen,
I wish my body would crave that good feeling I hear so many of you including Gene talk about after working out.  I don't get it.  don't know if I'm still trying to level out my B-12, Iron, etc.  Then after that is all working and in sync the gym rat in me will come bursting forth.  For now the challenge of trying a new button on the treadmill - the workout I get at curves is good for me.  I do have to force myself to pull into the parking lot to go to curves each night.  I'm always so tired when I get done work it's tough not to drive past and just come home and sleep many days.  I was good for about 2 weeks after my B-12 shot, but now I'm loosing strength again as well as getting that exhaustion back.  My PCP wants me to go for my B-12 shots every month but when I see him in two weeks I'm guessing my blood work will show I need the shots monthly.  I'm also looking forward to see if my iron has improved yet as well.
Thank you for those encouraging words!

Way to go IDA!!!!!

Thank you Beth!
