So, I have been "working out" maybe two days a week....it has been enough to maintain only a 6lb weight gain. I also have been eating like I was starving to death and haven't seen or tasted food in years. Whatever....it's been bad and that is that.
I have kept up with my once a week karate group class that my Dad teaches, and then maybe one day after work of running? That part only started recently. So, i decided that last week was THE week! I have a 10k in May my friends and that scares the CRAP out of me!
So, I got my 5k-10k App ready ( Download Here ). I really do miss my Zombie trainer though....I had him with their Couch to 5k App. I would be laughing out loud while I was running. It broke some stresses when I almost gave up and it kept me moving. Off topic, however I recommend that app to EVERYONE!
I started on Friday and did day 1. The way I function though it put me off for a week. The app/program itself actually trains you three days a week.
So ideally when we don't have THIS weather.....I can run in the evenings and keep with that schedule!
ANYWHO! I can't stop babbling in circles today! Back on track here.
Ok, so THIS week I did my Week 1 Day 2 on Wednesday morning...which was really a bad idea because I then had a 770 calorie burn at karate group class. I not only was a bit sore at my class. I was also sore in the AM! Feel the burn right!?
So Thursday morning is a strength training day and it has been kicking my butt! However I do notice my upper body strength improving so I can't complain. My Thursday mornings are brought to me courtesy of Jay. He is a personal trainer at my gym. He is young with a young family. AGAIN off topic LoL He has been working on strengthening my hips and thighs because I have been having some knee pressure while running. It's been really great!
I went today at 7am and did week 1 day 3! My knee started to get that air bubble feeling again that hit me in November. UGGGHHHH! I did realize that my running shoes are almost a year old and have been used 3 times a week. I can't NOT do this!
I called Second Sole and talked to Doug? He always answers the phone. He looked up my records and said "WOW! Yeah bring the shoes in and I will check the wear, but you may need some new shoes". Now, these shoes are SUPER expensive, but they made my feet so happy! So I am going on Sunday during the kids nap time to hang with Doug and my running shoes...maybe we will bury them and find my back up pair.
I just re-read through what I have typed so far....this has nothing to do with my title...such a jumbled mess! What is wrong with me today! FULL MOON!!!!
Ok so I started my 5k-10k App and have completed week 1....there are 8 weeks more and then my 10k in May. BAM there ya go :) If you have managed to stick through all of that and get to this end BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS!!! I apologize for rambling on and posting such a confusing mush of typing. I will keep you posted on my training and let you know how it goes!
