Wooo Hooo I did 2 miles in exactly 25 minutes. (5 minutes warming up walking included in that 25 minutes). I think my foot is holding up! I then did another mile of sprint walk so I would not stress my foot. My goal tomorrow 3 miles in 36 minutes. If I don't make it that's okay but I am going to try really hard! I will at least go for the three miles even if I go over time. Goal for Saturday morning 4 miles...no time stress...just 4 miles. Next week will up the Tuesday run to 2.5 miles, do 3 on Thursday, then just do 4 again on Saturday. The following week I will increase the Saturday to 4 1/2. I really want to do the 10k this October with an ulitimate goal of the Mini next May. Which means I really need to work because I was not born to be an "Athlete". I was born to be a sitter and reader.
Some considerations : I need to make sure I do not over stress my foot will trying to train and I really really really need to take off at least 15 pounds...20 would be great! I am not worried about "looking fat" I am worried about this extra weight putting a strain on my foot.
Oh my goodness I do rattle on about my foot...but this whole foot injury has just consumed me. I guess my family is right...I am obsessive. (Shrug) I guess better to be obsessive about working out then Taco Bell! Well better get to bed if I want to get up ready to run! Got my shoes, my clothes and music ready to go! To paraphrase Earl (off the show my name is Earl) 4:30 am comes early for a girl like me. Good night all...hoped you enjoyed my pictures and were able to stay awake while reading my incredible boring talk about running (or rather my version of running).
