How was your eighth week? Post your times, and I will announce the running totals Tuesday.

Week 8 was not my best week....I went on a trip back home to Indiana for 4 days and didn't do any working out while there...ahhh!   I'm still training for my 5k which is THIS SUNDAY!!!  I'm super nervous about it!!!!  I'm heading to the track now to train!!!  Happy Wednesday! WEEK 8 TOTAL= 120 minutes

Kim:   If you can run 2 miles, you can run 3.2 miles.  Don't let your brain tell you otherwise.  Enjoy every minute of your first 5k!

Totally deflated in Week 8.  Once I found out my boss was "eliminating" my position, it was all I could do to remember how to button my pants and put on shoes.  Exercise?  yeah. right.  So I logged 45 minutes last week.  Terrible terrible terrible. Buttt, today I am heading back to the gym because as one very insightful OH member told me "if you can overcome your obesity you can overcome anything." Heather

Heather:   Whoever said that is obviously brilliant. . .  Thisis one job.  You obviously were quite adept at what you are doing, and I'm sure you can parlay those skills into something else (and, hopefully, meaningful to you).  You are a tower of power, and it is your employer's loss.  Keep yourself as your top priority, keep your body moving,  and start sending out those resumes.  You will find a way to make things work. . .just look at what you have done for yourself thus far. . .

I spent most of last week really sore all over, and the rest of the week with soreness in my lowback, in the area of my herniated discs - which is scary, cuz I thought I was pretty much passed that...So, all I can log is 90 minutes for last week....Hoping to at least double that this week....

Michael:   As a fellow back pain sufferer, I'm afraid it is something that is never gone completely.  I have to keep moving and stretching daily as a preventative.  I am learning to accept it as one of those lifetime reminders of what super morbid obesity can permanently damage, and why a sedentary lifestyle is a waste.  Be sure to keep moving, though. . .it will help, I promise.

I haven't been good enough with my eating (not getting protein I should), so I don't think he'll be too pleased with that. Anyhow, enough rambling...hope everyone is well.

Congratulations on finishing the school year, and here's to a well-deserved respite this summer!  My mother and 4 closest friends are all teachers; I know how meaningful the end of the semester can feel.
