Oh boy... might have pushed it a bit today. Did a 10 min run, then an 8. Felt like I would throw up, so I just pushed my way through two 4's after that. Had a really tough recovery and I'm not feeling too hot tonight. Plus, I've done something to my calf and I'm hurting.
Hmmm... hopefully this will be another one of those instances where I feel rejeuvenated and refreshed in the morning!!!!! Silly girl.

Found myself thinking I was hungry a lot today... but stayed on track. That's a victory - not panicking when I feel like I want to eat. It's all coming down to the question..."is it worth it?" Almost always, the answer is no. Hallelujah!

Can't believe my cals were that low today... felt like I was eating all day and I enjoyed a BIG portion of a porterhouse for dinner! Yum!
Had a really nice walk with my middle daughter around the lake at a park here in town. It was cold, but the sun was beautiful and some of the ducks and geese have already made their way back here. Nice!
I've been thinking today how very grateful I am for the wealth I enjoy in friendships. I've never been one to have many friends... but I'm so blessed - the ones I do have are absolute jewels. Thank you ladies, for all of your friendship, encouragement and support.

Hi Norrie... I'm sure that not walking has been tough - I remember how much you enjoyed it! Is your knee replacement scheduled... or just "on the table"? I'm so glad you found us! Can't tell you how often you come to mind and, as always, I am grateful to know you. You're wisdom and kindness were always encouraging (and I know Mary feels the same).
So, today I'll encourage you to come back... even if it's not every day. Selfishly, we love having you around. And, the resources here have just exploded! So many wonderful articles and guides. Even just tracking your food a couple days a week might help?! Think about it... we love you, you know?

Hi Mary. Hi again Kelly. I'm really impressed to see you two faithful friends encouraging and empathizing. Wonderful. I don't know if I'm coming back. I've certainly got a lot of weight to lose and am looking at a knee replacement in the future. My not hiking or getting any cardio has really impinged on my lifestyle, but hey ! I'm still kicking (carefully). Yes, I can believe that you are going for a run, Kelly and I see that you are in training. I know that you will be successful. And you, Mary, you are always working towards a fulfilling and successful life. Do you realize that you have always been there ? You've got your priorities right. I will pop in to read your "blogs" and see how you are doing. I had a hard time finding your journals, I've been away so long. Love, Norrie xo
We are all involved in this journey called Life. We need to watch out for, support and encourage each other. Only journeying here, with my cyber friends will see success ! Thank you to all who care.

Oh NORRIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am SO excited to see you here!!!!!!!!!!!
How ARE you? What are you up to? When can we catch up?!?!?!?!?!?!? Oh BOY, I've missed you!!!!!!!
SO happy to see your beautiful face, my dear friend... hope to chat soon. I'm gearing up to go for a run (can you believe that?!), and I'll be checking in again soon.

Had a good (tough) run today at the track by myself (in a crowd). I am learning to push myself beyond my comfort zone... FOR myself. And I continue to surprise myself. That is a very cool thing.

Thanks, Mar!
Holy Smokes... I can't believe what I just did! At the track... with my best friend keeping me going... I ran 3 sets of 8 minutes! That was a full km each time (1.6 km in a mile). That's by far the best I've done yet and, although it was hard, I never felt like I COULDN'T go on - just that I didn't really want to! ha ha ha....
ANyway, I'm SO excited and feel great! Thanks a million for your encouragement and wisdom, Mary - I appreciate it more than I can explain!
(me doing a happy dance!)

Too funny! There was plenty of throwing up the first few weeks of the season.
Confidence only comes with doing Kelly. And you are doing. Even that injury, as disappointing as it was, it was a learning experience. The more you do all this, the more you'll know. I at least come from an athlete's background and had the experience of pushing my limits a lot. But that was a long time ago and I have a lot to re-learn. And I have to remember that I'm not as young as I was when I pushed myself that way. If I can help, let me know. But it looks to me like you're on the right track.
Good luck with your run today!

Oh yes... I'm sure that throwing up is a wonderful way to strengthen the abs! LOL!
Well, this is all new to me - I've never challenged myself - emotionally or physically - like this before. I find I'm in a constant state of wondering if I've pushed too hard or not enough, doubting my ability to know the difference etc. I'm learning, though, and enjoying the empowerment of it all!

Oh yeah Kelly. I was a real runner. Of course, I mean as a teenager. I was pretty fast as a kid but that was just natural. It was high school when I learned how to do a real sprinter workout, five days a week during track season. Especially the start of the season when they were getting us back in shape, it was grueling. I'd never want to do a full workout like that but have in mind a modified version of it that I'd love to be able to do some day. It can really change your body. A whole other level!
Keep up the great work! I'm so excited for you. You're doing so well!

Wow, Mary... I can't imagine BEING a sprinter... of course, I wouldn't even call myself "a runner" yet... It was unbelievably tough... can't imagine doing it all the time!
Tomorrow I'm meeting my friend at an indoor track. First run off the treadmill in a long time and I'm nervous. Oh well... gotta do it before Disney - and we leave in 29 days!

I used to be a sprinter Kelly. It's very shocking now to find that I can't sprint at all. Eventually, I want to get back to some speed training. Gotta lose a lot of pounds first but I think I can do it. Way to go with that. I know how hard it is.
Sounds like your week is going well. Keep it up!!

Thanks, Mar... feeling a lot better today.
We head south in 30 days and the race is in 32! Time to start thinking ahead and registering for the next race... if I don't have another commitment, I fear I may let myself stop running - and that would not be good!
I can't say that I like running (yet), but I definitly love the feeling of empowerment and accompishment I get every time I run and manage to exceed my previous limitations. It's truly amazing.
I'm going to switch things up a bit today and try some sprint training instead of my regular intervals. Should be interesting....!?!?!?
Hope things are well with you and that the riding is helping you get back on track. Blessings!

You've been working hard Kelly. You'll get your energy back. Keep up the good work. How many more days?
Have a great week!

I'm up to running 4.5-5 minutes per set with 2.5-3 mins recovery. It's coming, but I'm anxious about the race....
Also did a "before and half way" picture to see what 23 pounds off looks like. It was encouraging to see the difference, but I've still got a LONG way to go before I'll be happy with what I see!
Tomorrow is housecleaning day. I'd like to take a good walk on Saturday, run on Sunday. Busy weekend!

I don't blame you. Nice job keeping up in spite of being sick. I completely gave up but I really want to get over this and it's taking a long time. Itching to get back in the saddle. Hopefully tomorrow!
Hope the rest of your week goes well!

Oh boy... I'm tired today. Would quite happily go back to bed and sleep all day, I think! Hmmm... one of those 20 minute naps might need to be on tap this aft!

Managed 2 sets of 5 minutes in my run today. Total run time was 24.5 minutes out of 44.5 that it took to run the 3 miles. I know that being under the weather definitely affected my stamina, so I feel great about being able to run it today. I had to fight for it, but it was worth it!

Well, I'm back at work today - not 100% but feeling much better. I'm going to try my run this afternoon and see how it goes... I'll ease off if I find I'm struggling and just walk it - but I need to get those 5k in. I'll have to try to make up a day at some point too... oh boy! Anyway, not going to set my sights on improving my performance today - just aiming to get it done!
39 days to my race!

Kelly, you are doing so great. So happy to see you coming back from your injury! Sorry I've been MIA. This cold has really knocked me down. I missed two more days of work this week, under strict orders from my boss, not to come in if I still wasn't well. No one wants to hear me coughing!
Hope you continue to do so great! I'll be back as soon as I can!!

Had a great run today - extending my running cycles to 3.5-4 minutes! I am amazed - in 21 days, I've gone from being able to run only 1 minute at a time, and only 5 minutes in 30 to running up to 4 minutes at a time, 24.5 minutes out of 44! It's incredible how the body adapts to this!
Thank you, Lord!

What a great day for a walk! Nice to get some sunshine on my face and breathe the fresh air. I had one of my girls with me, so we weren't walking very fast BUT I carried home groceries... must have been 15 pounds or more in each hand. Felt like a hundred by the time we got home! Phew - that must've been worth a FEW extra calories burned?!

Three weeks really makes a difference in establishing healthy habits - and posting my totals here daily really makes me feel accountable - and think twice before I make choices about food etc. I'm very grateful!
Tomorrow will finish the first 3 weeks of 2010 and I'm looking forward to working through my averages to see the progress... plus, Friday will bring a fresh start to another 3 weeks. I feel very blessed to be feeling very much in control of what I'm eating and how I'm moving. At the same time, I give all the glory to God - after 40 years, I know full well that the strength to do this is not of myself. And the fact that it feels like a blessing and not a battle or a burden - that's all the proof I need!
SO GRATEFUL!

Thanks, ladies!
The run was tough... but successful! Got some good advice from a trainer who suggested I really slow down my recovery speed so that I could actually recover. Worked out great! I had to battle, but managed to run a total of 23 minutes in 3 or 3.5 minute sets!
I'm amazed that I'm actually doing this!
(Glad to see you back, Mary! - you're welcome!)

I had a GREAT run today! Finished 3 miles in 41 mins, 52 secs... 6 sets of 3 walk/3 run. Felt fantastic... feel even better now! A day can really change things!
Also realized, I need more rest. I think that's why the Sunday runs have been going so well. Hmmm...

Thanks, Mary. I'm so sorry you're so unwell... frustrating when you've been doing so well. I think you're wise to rest - I just read an article that had some guidelines about exercising when you're sick. They said, first, listen to your body. Secondly, if you have symptoms from the neck up, you're PROBABLY ok to excercise moderately, but anything from the neck down, you should definitely REST - the danger being that you could continue to tax your immune system and the possibility of the virus moving into your heart or other vital organs. (Women's Running Magazine Jan/Feb 2010)
I'm really trying to learn more about all of this and try to make sure that I'm finding the balance between challenge and too much.
Looking forward to the run today - I'll let you know how it goes!
In the meantime... BE WELL. I'm praying for your recovery!

Great job Kelly! You're doing fantastic. Way to beat that fear!
We have a race here called 'Beat the Bridge'. I ran it years ago and can't remember how long it was. There is a draw bridge near the end of the race. At a certain time, they raise the bridge and of course, the goal is to get there before it goes up and my big fear was that I wouldn't make it in time. I did make it but a lot of people didn't. It's actually kind of funny when those runners finally come in after a big gap in finishers. Everyone takes it very well. Your fear reminded me of that but I've never heard of a race where they actually pull you if you can't keep the pace. Seems kind of odd.
Anyway, keep up the good work. I'm still recovering. I think this is about the worst cold I've had in a decade!

I had to overcome my fear today. I've been starting to fret that I won't be able to keep pace for the race (min 16 min/ml) and that they'd have to pull me off. Can't think of anything more humiliating at this moment and it was really starting to worry me. So today, I didn't try to run (save that for tomorrow!)... I just walked. Did the first mile at 3.8 and the second 2 miles at 4.0, to finish 3 miles in 45 mins and 46 seconds. I was sweating, to be sure, but felt great the whole time... didn't lose my breath... was able to sing along with my ipod and adjust my stride to match the beat of the different songs.
SO... I can put that fear to rest now and get on with training knowing that I can absolutely do this thing. It can only get better from here, right?!

Shoot... made an unwise decision at the restaurant tonight. I sort of knew I should only eat half of my portion...but I ate the whole darn thing. Bummer.
SO... tomorrow, I'm going to hit the treadmill just to WALK and try to keep a 16 min/mile pace for 3 miles straight - that's the minimum pace for my race in 7 weeks! That should help with the cals. And Sunday is running day again!

Had a really tough run today, but I managed to squeeze out 3 sets of 3 minutes, plus 3 sets of 2 minutes. That was 15 minutes out of 30! The most time yet. Recovery was hard... wish I knew how to tell when I'm overdoing it and when my body is just adjusting to the new demands....
Anyway, I did it! A couple days of some other activity and we'll try it again on Sunday.

I was hungry yesterday - I guess fall out from the run? Anyway, I also didn't fit in any exercise - not ok.
However, I did have a great weigh-in... things are coming along nicely!
49 days until we leave! Isn't it strange... 7 weeks sounds like a long time, but 49 days sounds like no time at all! Gotta run run run - aiming for 5 sets of 3 minutes tonight. That will bring me to running half of my workout time!

I ran 3 minute intervals today. Four of them... with an extra 1.5 thrown in at the end. Wow! Can't believe it. My body is struggling a bit... but it feels much like it did after I ran 2 minute intervals a week and a half ago! I'll keep it at 3 for the rest of this week and then see how it's going!
I'm proud of me! AND THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN!

I had a FANTASTIC workout today! Took my youngest daughter with me... she's 9 and involved with the running club at school. AND, she talks incessantly. So, she successfully kept me distracted while I ran 5 sets of 2.5 minutes! That's the best I've done yet, and an increase of 25% running time! WOW! I'm SO pleased with how it's going and my knee feels great. What a blessing. I'm grateful to God for this!

Had a great run today... managed the 2 minutes on/2 minutes off without a break... but with a LOT of positive self-talk! Recovered much faster than I did on Tuesday. It's amazing how fast your body can adapt to this stuff, hey? Sheesh... do you think I might actually be able to do this?! What a cool thought!

Thanks! Oh yes... I'm tracking everything. That's the only way to stay on track for me!
Not hard to keep up with me... slow and steady, you know?
Have a great day!

Thanks, Mary... the workout was tough yesterday - I was pretty shaky all evening, but I feel good today - no pain and the knee is good! Off to another day!

I hate when my schedule interferes. Way to make stuff work Kelly! Sounds like you're doing great! And glad to hear you're being careful. I know you don't want a repeat!!
Hope you're having another great day!

My workout was kyboshed today, so I just jogged from place to place (ie. parked far away and jogged to the door etc). Best I could do for today! Tomorrow... plan for a good walk at lunch and stay the course with the food.
P.S. Yes, Mary... I'm being VERY careful. So far so good!

Feeling tired today... and hungry. Not sure what that's all about - probably all in my head, first day back to work and all.
That 10 minute siesta is sounding pretty great about now!

That sounds yummy Kel! I didn't do so well on the first day but I don't really care. I had a great week leading up to it and that always helps!
Wishing you and your family the very best in the New Year!

By the way... we made Chef Meg's Chocolate Fondue for dessert tonight and served it with strawberries, kiwi, bananas and pretzels. DELICIOUS! And really resonable on the counts. I felt guilty eating it - SO yummy!

Thank you, RW. A very happy new year to you and yours as well. You too, Mary - wishing you all the best and looking forward to a successful journey together!
I did indulge a bit last night, but went for a walk/run on the treadmill today and feel great! I'm hoping if I can balance pushing myself to do a little more each time with keeping my knee protected, I may be able to run most of the 5km.
Also hoping to read through the Bible this year. Those 2 things are my big goals for 2010.... now to plug away day by day!
Blessings all!

As a matter of fact, he DID! It's been feeling GREAT thanks! We had a lovely (busy) Christmas and I feel very spoiled! REALLY ready to stop eating! Took a spin on the treadmill when we were at my Dad's and threw in 3 little running cycles just to see. It went great! No pain, and I feel good. Can't wait to sort out how I'm going to continue now that the nasty weather is here... I guess I may have to suck it up and invest in a couple months at the Y.
Anyway... here I am, back to business and looking forward to our next leg of this journey! Great to hear from you, Mary!

Hi Kelly! How's it going. So sorry I've been AWOL again! Hope you had a terrific Christmas. Did Santa give you a healed knee? Hope so!
Check in when you get a chance and let me know how you're doing.

Well, what I'm feeling and what I'm allowing myself to say are two different things! However, If I have to wait on this thing, I may as well wait patiently, I guess.
Did a 40 minute Leslie Sansone vid. this morning... really worked up a sweat. The knee was twingy - but not too bad. Gotta keep moving!
Thanks for checking in, my friend!
