JOGGERS HIGH !!!!!

Posted on April 30, 2015

I think I found the exercise I can't do without. I been working through the c25k program and I am loving it. This week I got to jog 5 mins straight and I was so excited that I could do it and wasn't to out of breath. I actually look forward to the days that I can just run 30 to 45 mins straight. I am looking forward to the time I can work on speed and do speed intervals instead of walk/jog it will be jog/run. Yesterday I was so stressed out with work and I had to work late but I got home and hit the treadmill. As soon as I hit the first jog I forgot about my problems. I was paying attention to the way I breath and how my feet hit the treadmill and I began to get excited with each breath I took. As I switched back to walk I began to anticipate the next jog and how I moved my arms and just relax and let it go. It felt so good and just unbelievable that I am really loving this. When I finished I took a nice hot soak and just relaxed my problems did not once enter my head again until I got back to work today. I just couldn't believe what it did for me. I am relaxed and I can't wait til friday when I do my next run and I look forward to Monday when the program will take it up a notch and I conqueror the next level.

RUNNING CALMED ME AND I LIKE IT !!!

I just started C25k! The first day I almost threw up. It was miserable. I HATED it. My side hurt, I couldn't breathe, I was dripping sweat, my core was sore and I wasn't even sure I could manage the drive home from the gym. But you know what? Day two was so much easier! And three! I did day one twice, so technically I finish week one today BUT I am already so encouraged by the progress I've made. It's exciting to see other people experiencing the same thing. Especially further into the program :)

Friday I jogged 20 mins none stop. I still can't believe I am doing this. I always wanted to run, you know have some serious speed and now I can see myself getting back to that. I always look forward to my jogs and I never hesitate so far when it comes to that time and I'm so grateful. Loving it

I meant to add the big thing about running for me: It has elminated the lower cripping back pain I've had on and off for 20 years. That motivates me everyday to hit the pavement.

I love this blog, Pam! I remember when it was a struggle to jog 5 minutes straight, but tomorrow I'm running my 3rd 5K this year. I'm not the fastest, but I put one foot in front of the other and never stop to walk. It is the best kind of competition...competition with yourself! Every extra minute, the extra quarter mile - it all adds up to personal growth! I'm so glad DietBet has allowed me to have a glimpse into your journey. I have a feeling you're going to see some BIG changes :-)

5 Minutes, I wish I was at 5 miles but not even close. LOL I am loving it though and can't wait for more.

Love it! I got addicted to my jogs fast. I never knew I"d like running but turns out it's my thing! I can't seem to get my stamina past a certain point but I keep fighting the good fight and push myself. I figure eventually I will pass the current level. It may take losing my last handful of pounds. I imagine trying to run holding two 5 lb weights and I just can't . that's what I need to drop!

I always wanted to Jog/Run but my asthma was so bad that my lungs would burn and I would start a hacking cough and couldn't get anywhere with it. I don't know what changed or when but my chest never hurts (I eliminated all un-natural sugar) and It just feels natural. I am truly loving this and I get to run tonight, I am so looking forward to it.
