As for the monthly question, when I don’t run, my main forms of exercise are walking, zumba, and weight lifting! I used to swim as well when I had a gym membership with a pool but not so much anymore.

This month I’m in for...drumroll...zero miles. The Muslim holy month of Ramadan starts on May 5th. This year our fasts are nearly 18 hours, and no food/water makes runs sucky. I may get a few runs in here and there, but I’m not setting any goals so I can focus on my spirituality. I’m planning on walking a ton and always…

RE: Cadbury Easter chocolate: I love the cream eggs, but I can only handle about a bite and a half before my teeth start to throb from the sweetness, so I try to stay away. My true love are these babies- They are 100% the reason why all weight loss halts this time of year, regardless of mileage run and exercise done. My…

I finally took some time for myself and ran 5k today. I’m a little bit rusty and had to walk a lot, but it was marvelous because it was my first run outside in weeks! I can’t find my last running update post on here, but since I don’t have a number goal, whatever 😂

The weathers been consistently nice out where I live, so I went summer shopping. Copped a pair of nice white skinny jeans-in a size 5!!!

I fit into one of my dragon shirts! My arms and boobs used to be too fat to even pull it over my head but today it fit(and with a push-up bra on too!). RIP to my boobs but YAY

I’m slackingggg! Now that I’ve got two friends doing c25k with me(and on different days) I haven’t really been doing any other running besides that! It’s going to be really nice out tomorrow so I’m praying I can get out for a 5k April miles: 4/3: 1.5 miles 4/5: 2 miles 4/6: 1.5 miles 4/10: 2 miles 4/12: 2 miles Cumulative:…

I’m breaking the rules and posting an SV, but I’m so excited about it I had to post it somewhere! This morning when I weighed in i hit the 150s for the first time in 4 years!

It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve last run. It’s crazy that not running for 4 days is almost unbearable for me! When I started running around this time last year, I took two MONTHS off traveling overseas right after finishing c25k and didn’t miss running one bit😂 I’m so surprised I continued when I came back. I mean,…

Another easy short gym run today. Week 1 of at least three runs a week has been accomplished! April miles: 4/3: 1.5 miles 4/5: 2 miles 4/6: 1.5 miles Cumulative: 5 miles/who the heck knows miles

Did a super pleasant 2 miles today. Since I’ve been redoing c25k, I’ve been working on improving my speed with the intervals and it’s been working! Yay walking intervals! April miles: 4/3: 1.5 miles 4/5: 2 miles Cumulative: 3.5 miles/who the heck knows miles

Non-running related post, but I got my X-ray results from the chiropractor and holy moly I’ve got some back and neck problems. I forgot to take a picture of the xrays for you X-ray fanatics on here but apparently my entire spine is shifted and tilted to the left, and while my neck does have a proper arch, it’s arching in…

Finally on the board for April! Took it easy, because back problems, but re-completed week 3 of c25k today! Aforementioned friend that wanted me to teach her how to run is still sticking with it and I feel like a proud parent, lol. And I got another friend to start tagging along as well! April miles: 4/3: 1.5 miles…

Happy birthday @elise4270! Eat all the carbs!

Back to my April goals: No set mileage, but once I’m feeling better my goal is to get out there at least 3 times a week, preferably outside since spring has arrived! I’m also upping my walking as I’m recovering. I’m planning on participating in an annual walk for hunger my city does every May that’s 20 miles long. I’m used…

No set number goal for April here! March was a train wreck, so to speak. Started the month off with a knee/hip injury that required me to call off my half marathon training completely and ended the month with a car accident that’s caused me some pretty bad back and neck issues. I’d like to thank everybody in this thread…

I worked out with a friend today, and did a mile as a cardio warm up before strength training. Pretty sure this is gonna be my last run for the month. So I leave the gym and start driving home when some *kitten* teenager who isn’t paying attention rams into my car while I’m stopped at a red light. He hit me so hard I…

It was a pretty uneventful dreadmill mile March running 3/6: 3.1 miles 3/8: 3.1 miles 3/10: 3.8 miles 3/11: 1 mile 3/12: 1 mile 3/13: 1 mile 3/14: 2.4 miles 3/15: 1.2 miles 3/17: 3.6 miles 3/19: 1.3 miles 3/20: 1.5 miles 3/22: 2 miles 3/23: 2 miles 3/26: 2 miles 3/27: 1 mile Cumulative miles: 30 miles/I have no idea miles

Yet another short run! I feel the strength training working, so that’s pretty cool!

@martaindale congratulations on the PR! @MegaMooseEsq happy belated birthday! I’ve been feeling so much better since I’ve been strength training again. Since I’ve been strength training for half my gym sessions, my runs haven’t been as long, but I guess it’s worth the sacrifice, especially since the longer runs were giving…

Meant to do a longer run today but I was feeling real lazy 🤷‍♀️ March running 3/6: 3.1 miles 3/8: 3.1 miles 3/10: 3.8 miles 3/11: 1 mile 3/12: 1 mile 3/13: 1 mile 3/14: 2.4 miles 3/15: 1.2 miles 3/17: 3.6 miles 3/19: 1.3 miles 3/20: 1.5 miles 3/22: 2 miles Cumulative miles: 25 miles/I have no idea miles

My c25k buddy has been sticking with it so far! We are currently midway through week 2 and she’s already noticing that it’s slowly getting easier so yay! I’m not running as long/far since I’m doing this with her, but I think it’s worth it since I get to see my friend and have a running buddy! We’ve also been doing some…

Restarted c210k today cuz I’ve been sucking at running lately so I figured some intervals would help. They did! Still getting some niggles in my knee though March running 3/6: 3.1 miles 3/8: 3.1 miles 3/10: 3.8 miles 3/11: 1 mile 3/12: 1 mile 3/13: 1 mile 3/14: 2.4 miles 3/15: 1.2 miles 3/17: 3.6 miles Cumulative miles:…

Super sad day for the Muslim community worldwide. I woke up to the livestream of the New Zealand shooting on my twitter and burst into tears. Horrifying, and makes me scared to go to the mosque! May they Rest In Peace! On a running note, it’s a beautiful day for running today. 60 degrees and cloudy and it smells like its…

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! @kgirlhart @PastorVincent @ContraryMaryMary @_nikkiwolf_ @zeesparrow @Scott6255 @Avidkeo @shanaber And happy birthday almost birthday twin! @ContraryMaryMary hope it was/is a good one! Ran outside today for the first time in over a month and it was marvelous! March running 3/6: 3.1…

Celebrated my birthday today by doing a super intense full body workout at the gym. I usually stick to running and Zumba, so my abs and arms feel like they’ve been run over by a truck, but in a good way. Also got out yet again for c25k, and have an outdoor run planned for tomorrow. My friend who’s trying to start running…

Did c25k with my friend again! March running 3/6: 3.1 miles 3/8: 3.1 miles 3/10: 3.8 miles 3/11: 1 mile 3/12: 1 mile Cumulative miles: 12 miles/I have no idea miles

I inspired a friend to start c25k! We finished week 1 day 1 together today! I can’t believe I’m an inspiration. This time last year I couldn’t run for 30 seconds, and now I’m training for a half marathon-crazy

An old friend hit me up and said she was inspired by all the progress I’ve made over the last year and asked me to be her work out buddy! So today we went out and did week 1 day 1 of c25k. I’d say I did about a mile of running total so that’s what I’m including towards my goal. I can’t believe I inspired somebody to run! I…
