10K UnderWay, Week 8, Run 2. I'm Back On Top....Yeaa Boyyyyy

You go girl!  Run Lee Run!!! 

I did a fake run last night.  Inside, running (jogging???) in place, 30 min (jog, walk, jog) at 10 min intervals.  I was surpised the full out jog got my HR up like I was on the eliptical when pumping my arms. 

I don't know why your calling running in place for 30 minutes a fake jog,  that is very much a real jog and a very good one at that.

GO LEE      GO LEE       GO LEE  

Good Morning Lee

I have been slacking with responding to your posts. I am on week 9 of c25k. I have only completed 1 day so far. I am really not following the actually program anymore since its just warm up and all running. Well I guess I am following it. :). I am just trying to maintain my speed and work on my breathing.

I did not do the Thanksgiving day run. I was way to tired that morning. I am kinda bummed that I did not do it and wasted money but there will all be another event. I wanted to start the New year off will a run but I was approved for a full tummy tuck. Yippee. It is scheduled for 12/28/09 so no running in January. I do plan to do alot of walking though.

Hopefully, I can get myself motivated to do strength training. That is my weak area. i will start but then stop. I am not like you, who push yourself. I really admire that about you.

My goal is to lose about 15 pounds between now and my surgery date. May be unrealistic but I am going to give it all I got. The funny thing is that I dont even know how much I actually way. I just monitor how my clothes fit to see if I am gaining or losing. I was addicted to the scale before it broke. I would weight a minimum of 6x per day and halfof that was just while gettign ready for work in the morning (before peeing, after peeing, after shower, then as soon as I get home, and just before bed). It was crazy.

Sorry you didn't get to do the Turkey run,  I know you were looking forward to it, but life happens and your body told you not to so that is best.

Congrats on the tummy tuck approval.  I know you must be really excited about that. 

15 pounds before 12/28 ????   I hope you can make your goal, but don't go crazy. 

You are doing really good,  keep up the running.   I'll be here running right along with you.

Hey Stacey...what surgery date...BL please.  I am guilty of weighing 15 minutes after peeing because weighing before I am full of water, then as soon as I get home and just before bed.  I know if the scale says the same thing in the evening then more than likely I have lost weight that day. 

Pay it forward Lee!

ETA: In a round about way you really are PIF...you are motivating more people than what you think.

If you don't get out of here with that crap.  LOL.  

Thanks girl,  I try.
