losing jusme's quest to the Minnie marathon



Recommended Posts

from my blog as well...

week 3 of couch to 5K is not going well for me. :(

i did my 90 seconds of running, then my 90 seconds of walking and just couldnt do the 3 minute run. i dunno what it was / is... my calves cramped up like a mother and it hurt just to walk, much less run.

now, 3 hours later my legs are crampy, my feet need a REALLY good rub/massage and my right glute is achey... i did walk over 3 miles. 2 miles on the treadmill (31 mins) then i went to a new park to scope out the new trail. its a pretty good one that i will more than likely go to. it does have a slight incline, but i can deal with it. i did a lap (.298 miles) in 5:21.4. next time i will time the entire run/walk (ok, i walked 99.5% of the time). i may even go tomorrow ...

WTF????

i want to run ... i love the rush of running ... why wont my body cooperate?? and i'm not running fast at all ... 4.4 is my 'average'. i even dropped down the speed to 4.2 and i just couldnt do it.

so instead of c25k - this is what i did:

30 seconds running 4.2

1 min walking 3.5-3.9

45 seconds running 4.4

2 min walking 3.5-3.9

1 min running 4.4

2 min walking 3.5-3.9

1 min 15 sec running 4.4

2 min walking 3.5-3.9

45 secs running 4.5

cool down.

this is nowhere where i want to be ... NOWHERE... i am disappointed in myself and my will power (or lack there of..) im depressed. the one good thing - my eating was on target today! in fact, there are some "brownie bites" (that i bought this weekend and had 3-4ish), and didnt have any today! yay me.

i need to work on posting my food all the time - not just my good days ... :eek:

Losing just me... there are days like that. When I started running I ran for 30 seconds and walked for... I don't know 5 minutes... it took me three months before I could really increase my run time. After years of abuse to my body, I needed to give it time to adapt. It was tough though!!!

I had a great run this morning btw... 5 km in 26 minutes!!! Which is a pace of 5:11 a km... Yep I am Canadian can you tell. BTW I lived in Toronto for years!!!

You can do it! Think how far you have come. Also, if you been able to do it once you can do it again - just keep repeating each week until it is no problem for you!

27 days left and i really need to kick it in gear. having my plastics so late in February (the 29th) really put a damper on my training. soooo, this week im going to walk M, W, F for a mile or two and Saturday i'm goign to try for 3-4 and see how i feel.

the only bad thing is that i still swell so horribly when i am active. but it's just something i have to deal with, right??

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
