I did it! I was able to jog my first 5k. My goal was to jog the whole thing without walking, and I was able to. It felt AH MAZING! Mile 1 to 2 seemed really long, but I ran mile one in 12 minutes and the final mile was the finishing stretch. I am signing up for my next one to jog on 10/8. Prior to the run I had been training on the treadmill and it took me 45 minutes to run 3.1. I took it outside the week before the race and I only ran a little over 2 miles. So it felt gret to do the full 3.1 in less time then it took to do it on the treadmill. For my next race I would like to shave 3 minutes off of my time.

That's awesome! I can't believe how much harder it is to run outside instead of the treadmill (for me at least).

I'm so proud of you! I just had to come read your blog when I saw the title. A girl after my own heart! The first thing I said after the surgery, when I was in recovery, was that I was FREE! And the second thing I said was "I'm gonna RUN"!!

I aspire to run a 5K myself.. I swear that I am gonna be one of those girls who pull their hair in a pony tail and hit the pavement at sunrise! I ache to run! You make me feel like maybe I can really do that! Thank you!

I'm just in the beginning of my journey though. I go for my first fill today. I am hoping to be running by the end of this year. I have a lot to lose though. But I am gonna get there!

      Xbox And Exercise - Kickboxing

      By sharon232 · Posted

      I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
