Today is day 4 of my running program..
Yesterday, i went with a friend and we did 6 km of walking/running.. We would run for 1 1/2 mins, then walk 1 - 1 1/2 mins.. Quite the increase from day one - i feel it in my left rear muscle today, LOL. i get the runner's high, especially when i'm pushing myself so hard..
Working on stretching, breathing & posture this week.. Yesterday, much improvement..

< ---- signed up for my first 5k, July 1st.. i will be running it with a friend, i'm excited..5k is 25-30 mins of running, if i work hard everyday, i will be ready to give it my very best..

i get very emotional after a run..
One year ago, i felt like i could barely walk.. i couldn't catch my breath, i had pain in the legs and feet, and i was miserable just taking a few steps to the corner store - So to have this energy and be doing this for myself, i'm really proud... It's about the difference in how i feel & the energy! & of course to all the people who have repetitively *and still do* tell me i can't do things.. look at me go..i remind myself daily, i've lost 100 lbs and CAN do this, to keep at it.

Also, working the weights this week faithfully. Though i've no real "plan" with the weights just yet, i just try different machines and do different exercises in attempt to get myself on a schedule of doing it every couple of days.. So i feel great for that!

My fitness goal for today: To incorporate core exercises, something i can do at home and will be faithful about doing each day.. To go for my run for day 4 & to get to the gym to do weights..
