ROCKMOM2's CalorieKing blog

Thursday, Dec 18 2008 - Better day, started with quiet time and running...

View ROCKMOM2's food & exercise for this day

This morning was an accomplishment…I was running in the rain, put on a ball cap and took off. Did 3 miles in 38 minutes. Not fast, but my fastest yet. I am not very good at doing the C25K by the rules of the minutes. I increase the running time a little more than they have on week 4 I think. I am running and enjoying it and see no real benefit in stopping just because the piece of paper says I should. If something go sore, I my knees hurt, I would stop and I only did an extra, what, 8 minutes….no biggie. I understand what you said about exhilarating …When I stepped in a puddle it was really neat…and the air smelled so fresh…stuff I don’t usually take the time to notice…I notice when I am running.

Update on list…hubby’s gift…bought and sent ahead of us to N Little Rock; Dog boarded, they had a cancellation---slowly things are coming together!

I AM so proud of the way that you are taking to running. I think that you just gave me the kick in the rear I need to get down to the gym.

Vicki,

You have totally embraced the running and are doing a great job. You are my running shero! :clap: I think 3 mile in 38 minutes is great. Keep up the good work.

I've got to get back on track with it. Still on the TM but only 2x a week. So now that you've run outside and TM do you have a preference?

Take care.

Wow! Three miles in 38 minutes. (That's about what it takes for me to walk two miles.) I am impressed and inspired. So, I assume the C25K is a special activity plan? Glad some things are checked off your list of anxiety items . . . and you are getting away for the holidays. Have a great weekend!
