Here is where I will chronicle (because it is sure to be an epic journey) my massive undertaking of going from 312 pounds and sedentary, to a healthy weight and running a 5k. Come along with me...

Day 108
Wow. I can't believe I just did that. Let's start from the beginning.
Esme decided she was ready for the day around 9 am, we meandered downstairs to play and for Mommy to get herself breakfast.
'Hmmm...I wonder how well a Baileys cocoa cupcake would fuel my run today?.....Not very well....o0o0o0o banana and peanut butter toast! Mmmm....'
When I finally got around to going to the gym I did the first set of week 3's intervals, and it is a good thing I didn't listen to it beforehand, because it starts out with a three minute run....may not sound too daunting but compared to the 90 second intervals I was doing last week? It's an eternity. But I survived, and with very little cursing. And then I ran sprints again. I was so looking forward to them (thinking about sprints kept me from going batty at the ill-mannered yuppie track users...the rules of etiquette are ON THE SIGN WHEN YOU WALK IN!!! READ THEM!!!), so I ran them.
Then 'Candyman' came on, so I ran ...
Then I thought: 'I should probably stop...'
And then I put on 'Drumming song' and ran some more...
Then 'Rabbit Heart' came on and I ran to that too...
All in all I did about 14 minutes of continuous extra running. OH MY GOSH THAT IS SO GREAT AND I AM SO EXCITED!!!
The only reason I didn't keep going was that I knew there was a hungry baby waiting for me, and if I didn't hurry home I wouldn't get to shower today.

It's fun to read about your exciting workouts. I bet you are turning into a beast with some crazy muscles. How much weight have you lost?
ReplyDeleteTo date I have lost about 40 pounds. But even better than that I'm getting some pretty wicked calf and shoulder muscles!
