How are things????

Too cold to race here! lol Well, pushing ahead, but I am noticing how easy it is to find excuses not to exercise when it is so busy! But, most of my shopping is complete, and I would find an excuse to miss a workout even if it weren't Christmas!

How are you running these days?

Oh yeah, I have a HIDA scan Mon. and we are praying they get this vomiting figured out. It has been 7 weeks.

UGH, you must be miserable, I can't imagine.  I hope they get it figured out on Monday!

I ran Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday, and plan to do all 3 days this weekend (I have Mondays off).  It really feels good getting back into it regularly, and Wednesday night, the scale read the lowest I've seen it since before I got pregnant 21 years ago.  (I'm sure that'll change tonight, 'cause I have not been good at all today!)

Still having trouble with the stamina thing... not sure if I'm going faster inside on the treadmill that I usually do outside or what.  I did make it 20 minutes before a walk break on Wednesday,but then started having to take them every 3-5 minutes after that, which sucks!  Oh well, at least it's getting done. :)

Chakara I bet its tough keeping on top of hydration when your sick:(  I hope they figure out whats going on.  Do you think it might be your birth control pills?  I'm chugging right along.  I'm on w1d2 of 10k program.  I hope everyone has  a wonderful weekend.  coco135

funny you should ask, I think it is definitely related to my birth control. It says that can be a contributing factor, along with rapid weight loss, to a diseased gallbladder. I noticed that the five days that I didn't get sick did coincide with my break from the pill. I don't want another surgery, but, I do want it figured out. So, crossing my fingers and hoping it is the gallbladder.

just completed w4d1...ughhh that was tough! i am doing this program outdoors, at night, in the cold, so its been even more work to get through the intervals. any advice on running in 17 degree weather?

Wow! How are you breathing in that cold air. I ran my race in that cold type weather and it was tough! I think that would be a great question for the main fitness forum. Those guys are fantastic with tricks and advice. You Rock!
