ass and right knee hurt! Pardon me but I just did 3.6 miles for my One Hour Runner Week 8 Day 3. You know what that means don't you? There are only 2 weeks left before I'm supposed to be able to run for an hour. If you were to ask me right now I'd say that it's not going to happen but who knows, a lot can happen in 2 weeks. Then again if you had asked me 6 months ago I would have said you were nuts if you had any notion that I'd ever run more than 30-40 minutes...ever.
I have a couple of 5K's planned this month. It would be nice to see a new PR in at least one of the 2. I have to remember that rest is just as important as the workout and not push myself too hard in this beginning phase. Sometimes I feel like if I don't get out there for a couple days in a row that I'll give up and stop all together. I'd have to go back and check but I think just about at 6 months of running.
I started for weight loss and haven't lost anything but now it's morphing into something completely different. A challenge, and questioning myself. Like how far can a fat girl run? Can she run X amount of miles a week and still be fat? Is it all about the food and not about the exercise at all. What will be the thing that tips the scales? Who knows, maybe they won't tip at all. I'm certainly not going to starve myself as a means to an end. Besides been there done that.
