Week 8, Day 1 completed. The first mile is just a struggle to find my pace and forget all the pains (calves, hips, thighs) but by the second half of the 2.75 miles I had found the pocket. I was a machine just pumping along. I can't believe I ran 2.75 miles without stopping. 15m30s mile. Maybe not as fast as some, but if…

W7D2 done today. I had to go out running later than usual, which made the scenery a little different what with it being dark and all. Interesting how some people think they need to light up the tree in their yard. Looks cool, but I wouldn't want to spend the money to light my tree. Anyway, I have been feeling pretty…

I finished W7D1 yesterday and ran 2.5 miles straight in 40 minutes! I have never run 2.5 miles straight before in my life! I feel invincible.

When I lost weight before in college, my favorite ones were "You look different...are you okay?" and "If you lose anymore weight you are gonna disappear." Funny thing being that I was still technically overweight when both of these comments were made. Not sure why people feel they have to say something other than "you look…

It is good to see I am not the only one that has struggled with being able to stick with the program of diet and exercise. I just keep trying to make good choices and think about how good I feel when I exercise and eat right. Although results are a good motivator, remember that exercising and eating right are just a…
