.... from running to yoga. My next step is to alternate yoga with running- slim and firm is the goal! :)

Road Run **Edited**
I went on a 'real' road run tonight. Yikes! So much different than a treadmill. I ran farther than I ever have... loved it. I will 'clock it' tomorrow to figure out how long it was.
I have lost 5 lbs this month! Yahoo!
**Added**
So, my body is screaming (the next morning)..."WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO TO ME?!?!?!" I think maybe I might have pushed a little too hard last night. opps. I kinda love the pain though. Thinking that I might be turning the corner on 'liking' exersice. Really, I love that I am seeing change. Part of me wants to go do it again right away, but my head is saying chill out... go tomorrow.

In response...
In response to Misty's ?... I am currently doing a whopping 15 min. mile. So sad. I am mixing running and walking. BUT... I am so excited to be running for multiple minutes at a time. :) Each time feels better. Hoping to keep going. I took a picture of myself in shorts and sports bra... not posting it! It is for motivation for ME! Not pleased with where I am these days.

It's been forever...
Well, I have quietly been back on the treadmill for about a week now. Last night I made a tough choice, that will motivate me for a while. We went to dinner with friends and then out for ice cream. That motivated me to not finish the day without exercise. So, I got on the treadmill to go a mile. Oh.... not good on a full stomach! So, it is now morning... empty stomach...so off I go to try another day at running. :) I am going to keep pegging away at this... in hopes that one day I can't live without it. I am longing to be addicted to exercise! :)

Hanging in There...
I had a friend comment yesterday that she keeps checking in here... with no new post to read... so here you are... ;-)
I am totally not following the couch to 5K plan... BUT, I am hanging in there. The issue it health... not running a 5k, right? Well, that is what I am telling myself at this point.
I am trying to get on the treadmill a couple of times a week... and I am running longer than I could before... which is not saying so much, honestly. BUT... forward movement is better than no movement.

Back to it...
I am back on the treadmill. I bought some new shoes yesterday... which helped with the shin splints. I am needing to take this a little slower than expected. I am just simply out of shape. Too many years, I guess.
It feels good to still be in the game. :-)

Fell off the wagon...
When I started classes last week, I think I was just sent over the edge with this running thing. I just didn't run at all last week. In life, I have found that when I get behind... I just give up rather than fight... that is until the last few years. BUT... I feel old feelings creeping up right now. I want to just bag it. All kinds of self-doubt comes rushing in.
But... yesterday I forced myself to get back on the treadmill. I did not follow the regimen... and again this morning I got back on... just for a quick time to get my blood pumping before starting the day.
This weekend I hope to get out and buy some new shoes and a running bra.... these have both been issues.
So, now I am a week behind you gals, but I hope to play a little catch up.
The positive note: I can feel a difference... I am able to run a little longer than I could when I started.
