Today we finally had a day without the threat of rain, snow or a blizzard!
I was able to get out and walk again. The weather was so nice I took off my jacket and was plenty warm in only short sleeves. It looks like I will only have one day of rain coming up in the next week! I am going to try and fit in four miles five times this week.
I started my walk today with the mindset of just getting in four miles no matter how long it took me. I unexpectedly ran the first 1/2 a mile and then alternated walking and running! I ended up running at least a mile total today. I also figured out that I run slower than I normally walk. Does anyone know if that is normal?

I find that on days when I workout and really burn calories that I am so much less tempted to cheat. I make sure that I am fueled up before my workout with carbs and that I have some protein or simple sugar (fruit) after. I normally just throw a string cheese in my bag and eat it on my drive home.
I run way slower than I walk. I think if you aren't a "runner" that it's normal to run slow. But I could just be trying to make myself feel better :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go! I ran out side today.. I am not a "runner" and so my run is kinda slow.. and I usually run a half mile then walk a half mile ect. so today I did 2 miles and it was lovely to be outside
ReplyDeleteI totally run slower than I walk, you're not alone!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! :)
I just found your blog and you just totally motivated me to start up with WW again!!
ReplyDeleteI started online about this time last year, and I lost about 10 lbs in two months, but with summer and bbq's I just fell out of the routine.
I am currently at my highest weight, and I'm going to start with WW again tomorrow! Thank you for the motivation! I'm going to put a link to your blog on mine!
Yay, my goal this week is to run at least 3 times and do 2 different activities besides running.
ReplyDeleteI haven't begun to run yet..Training for a 5k run and just started walking today! I'm scared to death I'm gonna blow out my knees or ankles at my weight, not to mention my clutz gene!! lol.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and you are so motivating! I just started WW a few weeks ago but have been a little discouraged. I'm excited to hear more about your journey. I was also a YL leader in college-- so fun! :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the days I run, I am less tempted to cheat. It's like, why did I do all that work for nothing?
ReplyDeleteYes, I am more motivated to eat good foods when I work out. Although I often think I can eat more than I can...
