The zombie apocalypse has begun...

Because I am running. Who the hell are you, Andrea Diggs? A runner?

 

Let me say that when I run, its like a minute or two of walking, then a minute of running, then back to walking, etc. So it is not like full on half an hour 45 minutes of running. But I am on a treadmill doing something I swore I would never do, ever. Running. And it is not bad. I'm slow - only 4.2 mph, but walking has gotten too easy? Running on actual pavement is harder than the treadmill, but at the gym I feel I've hit my walking limit and almost have to move on to running to get the calorie burn that I want. At 228 lbs, I burn fewer calories than I did at 280. I gotta make up for that somehow.

 

Please seriously, let me know if you see any zombies. Because this is a sign of the apocalypse.

Love this post! I'm hoping to change my opinion on running sometime in the future. For now, I'm just trying to keep a steady increase on my daily steps. It's slow, but I'm getting there.

On another note - Only 6 more days til the return of my favorite zombies & zombie killers on The Walking Dead! WooHoooo!

Oh, I swore up and down that I would never run. The last time I legit ran was Junior High (think 1990). And when I did that, I fell into a mole hole and sprained my ankle pretty darn badly. So I'm already predisposed to be wary about it! So the fact that I am doing it is just bizarre to me!
