I had a rest day yesterday, and today I ran again. Today my run was 30 min. 2min walk, 5 min run with the 5 min. warmup & cooldown walks. If you had told me I'd be running 30 min. straight by now when I started this program, I wouldn't have believed it! I might do the first part of week 9 and then repeat weeks 8 & 9 for maintenance. By this point, I get a good workout with the 10K runner program. I don't really think I need to advance to a full 10K for regular exercise.

Yay! That’s good to read Blueberry! It’s wonderful when we surprise ourselves isn’t it
 I went back to the old running group (not the beginner one) last night. It felt odd, the leader is such a lovely lady and although she doesn’t lead many sessions now (busy with her full on career and children) she was there last night. When she saw me she said it felt like time had faded away, that’s a good way to say it. Except I was well aware of the passing of time because I’m no longer one of the fast runners, it felt odd everyone being ahead of me, not bad, just odd, plus other than her and one new runner I didn’t know anyone. I was asked if I’ll go back and I think I might but not consistently, my family caring responsibilities are greater now, life is just different. I am different too. Difficult day here because of something unfortunate I’ll not go into but hopefully I can get out for a pad around tomorrow morning and start my day off right. |

@Discombobulated
It's nice that you saw some familiar faces in your running group. Believe me, I am a lot slower running too in my mid-40s than I was in my 30s or even early 40s! We need to be proud of ourselves still running at all now with the passage of time! I am sorry that you had a difficult day though.  @Buffy01 Yay on walking! Walking is great exercise. I went walking/jogging this morning. The weather was cooler this morning, but it won't last. By tomorrow, it won't be as nice outside. I wasn't really feeling the jogging today. I did run around 2 mi off & on, but I just was tired. I think I was dehydrated after that long run yesterday because I kept waking up dying of thirst overnight and even had to refill my bedside water glass, which I never have to do. It also didn't help that I started my period yesterday. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, lamotrigine, hydroxyzine, There's a crack in everything.

I deleted my fast food apps. Including my Starbucks and Dunkin ones. I ordered some Pure Protein galatic brownie protein shakes and my mom is picking me up some Ryse skippy peanut butter protein powder. I drank 2 bottles of water and a can Liquid Death sparkling cider instead of soda. I did also have a glass of iced coffee and a Premier Protein shake. I don't reccomend the salted caramel popcorn ones.
Oh yeah. I for sure don't reccomend the salted caramel popcorn ones. Especially mixed with cider flavored sparkling water I have to get my protein powder delivered. I had asapargus for lunch. It was kinda high in sodium. Idk what I'll do for dinner. Maybe cereal. I don't really know what I'm doing besides cutting back on coffee and soda. Maybe a bit of intuitive eating and not so much planning. It works for some people. Currently I'm at 650 calories, 100 carbs, and 50 grams of protein. I know how to lose weight. Its just the sticking with it issue. __________________ I'm Blue Last edited by Mountaindewed; Today at 01:29 PM.. |

Sorry to hear about the dehydration Blueberry, how are your temperatures going? Any sign of cooler weather ahead?
I got out for a pad this morning, it was really foggy especially on the coast and quite disorienting, I could just see ghostly figures around me and the air felt thick to breathe. I had a nice little rhythm though and managed 35 minutes, I think I got a bit more than 5k but didn’t measure. |
