30 min of C25K today brings me to 60/600.
January 4: 2 hour walk
January 5: Walk 1, Run 6, Walk 3: 2 hours 28 minutes
Total minutes: 268
That brings me to 643/3000
As to what motivates me, it's the before and after pictures below. Losing 117 pounds changes who you are and your entire life. Everything has changed for me. I never, ever want to go back to being that person again and if it takes leaving my house and running at 4 in the morning, I will gladly, gladly do it. I also like that it gives me control because eating is something I will probably always struggle with. I run or walk every day so even on my bad days, all is not lost.
I also love the feeling I get - especially after a 10 miler which I do at least once a week (including this morning). I'm not fast at 43 and it takes me a long, long time but the feeling stays with you all day long. You just feel like you can do anything. There is nothing like it for me.
And who cares about the speed?
At 45 I'm no Speedy Gonzalez either but at least I'm off the couch and in better shape than many other women my age that I know. Be proud that you are too!
, but thanks to work interrupting me, I had to call it quits at 5.98. However, that adds 67 minutes to my January total to 183/1300.
