Oh, I must share my success! I have tried twice to become a runner, and both times I had knee issues or IT band issues (leg muscle). The second attempt I did C25K and made it to week 7 before my IT bands gave me fits and I quit. This is my third attempt and have done it extremely slowly. I mean so slow. My first week I ran a minute, walked 2 minutes, and ran intervals like that for 30 minutes. Did that for two weeks. The next week I ran 2 minutes/walked 2 and did that for two weeks. And so on. The last two weeks I was running 7 minutes/walking 3 (just to keep the math easy). Well today I ran 30 MINUTES STRAIGHT!!!!!! Walked 2, then ran another 8. I am so excited!! My legs handled it very well, I've had no issues with my knees or IT bands. I must say I bought a muscle roller which I think is why my legs are handling running. The first two weeks I used it I was literally in tears from the pain. Now it's slightly uncomfortable if it's been too many days since I used it. But I did it! I think I'll put this in a Success Story post, my first ever.

Ugh... another week of fail : grumble: Did some walking when the cruise ship docked at Melaka but I didn't care to take note of the distance walked nor the time spent - hopefully that was sufficient to burn off 1/2 the extra calories put on from the buffet meals, though I doubt it :laugh:

Ah well ~ gonna try work harder this week then. 350 min will be my goal. Got a hike planned for Sat which will be at least 180 min so am positive that I can make up for the rest. Keeping fingers crossed that the determination doesn't "fizzle out" by mid week!
