Here we go again
So I haven't posted in a while because I haven't been doing the couch to 5k program at all. I got pushed off course by late season snow storms, and lost my motivation. I put out a call to Facebook looking for a good deal on a used treadmill, and had someone contact me about their broken treadmill that I could have for free. Apparently the motor ( Read more... ) -

Okay, I'm abandoning the couch to 5K program, but only for a little while. My body hasn't seen any significant form of exercise in three years, and I'm trying to do too much. I'm going to start just walking. When I tried to run today I instantly felt pain in my back, so I walked only today. Sadly I still have pain in my arches, and the pain in my ( Read more... ) -
WO 3 (one day late)
I had originally planned to do my workouts on M, W, F, but I had to get new shoes after work on Friday and knew it would be dark by the time I got home so I opted to do my workout, with new shoes, today instead. Plus that gave my back an extra day to recover, although it doesn't appear to have made a damn bit of difference. Hopefully more ( Read more... ) -
Ouchie
I got out there and did it, and while I was working out my back felt great, but now I think it's worse than before. I'm very frustrated at this point. Hopefully my day off tomorrow will help some. luckily I don't have anything I have to do after work tomorrow either, so that's good.
I got through three intervals again today. After the first one I ( Read more... ) -
Day 2
Honestly. Yesterday I was amazed that I didn't have any residual pain from Monday's workout. Then I went to a two hour rehearsal and we were on our feet the whole time. Somehow during that rehearsal I really messed up my back, and now I'm miserable. Regardless, I'm sitting here ready to walk out the door, minus one glove, and I really want to do ( Read more... ) -
One down (sort of)
So, I got out there, and I'm giving myself bonus points for that. I wasn't even half-way through the first five minutes of walking before I started breathing heavily, which just tells me that I need to be doing this regularly.
I picked a quiet side-street to do my intervals, and I don't think I've ever seen that many freaking people, which is ( Read more... ) -

Okay, so I'm not here to post yet again about how I'm going to start posting more and then disappear again for a year. I do plan to start posting more, but my intent is purely selfish. I'm about to embark on the Couch to 5K program, hereafter referred to as C25K, and I want to use this abandoned journal as an opportunity to capture my thoughts and ( Read more... ) -

Yay for vacation days!
So, I have insane amounts of vacation to take each year (I get over three weeks and can only carry over one week at the end of the year). I had requested this week off to go to GWW, and sadly we couldn't afford the plane tickets to get out there. Matt has now found a full-time job, so hopefully that won't be a problem next year. Regardless, I ( Read more... ) -

So much to do, so much going on, so many changes, so much illness, so much sadness, so much hope. Condolences to Kitty's family and friends, congratulations to Matt on starting a new exciting job tomorrow, and thank goodness Grandma's health is finally making a turn for the better. What a long few months. I'm looking forward to vegetability come ( Read more... )
