I can't believe there are sooo many WISHers suffering with sickness
or injuries right now. I send you all prayers and lots of
May you all feel better soon!!! Do you think it could possibly be due to overtraining? I thought I read that somewhere in MFM. Hmm...
Lynnda, Dana, Jackie, Jodi, Tiff, and others-Thanks for all the congrats about my weightloss!!
It has really been hard doing it the right way!
I went today and tried on clothes and everything in a size 16 fit! I couldn't even wear this size in high school or when I got married. I am so loving this! I still have a long way to go since 185lbs is still a lot to haul for 13 miles.
But I'm savoring my success so far. For once in my life I am proud of myself.
Goofyguy- thanks so much for the training help!
I think you're right. I should focus on training up to a 4/1 interval that way if I get tired during the 1/2 I can always fall back into my trusty 3/2 and still finish. I just find it
so hard to increase the intervals.
I had made it up to a 3:30/2 but when I realized my runs got slower than my 3/2 I said forget it! It took me 7 months to get from being able to only run 30 seconds at a time to a 3/2. So I guess I shouldn't expect this to happen overnight. I can't believe that I'm already completely anxious about the 1/2! I'm wanting to focus on increasing my long runs because at the beginning of the year I thought if I just added one mile per month I'd be set for 13 in January '07. So do you think I should make my Monday 3 miler the run to primarily focus on increasing my intervals? Then keep my Wednesday 2 miler as my fun run for the week and then just increase my Friday long run a quarter of a mile per week? That would make it to my 1 mile added per month goal. And for now I've got to keep it M-F with the weekend off. I've found that I need the mental break of 2 consecutive days off or I get rebellious. Plus knowing that I can have 2 days off is a great incentive to make me complete my LRs.
Lisa- it made me sad to hear that the DL 1/2 is closed. I had secretly wanted to try for it but I didn't have enough confidence. Plus we don't have enough money right now anyways. It was still hard to hear that the 1st one ever will be going on without me.
Terri- Sorry about the
crash! Aren't they the biggest inconvenience? I hope everything works out for you. At least you are safe!
Kristi- Wow, 7lbs from your final goal?!? I would be so excited if I were you. I've heard the last few are THE WORST. But I know you can do it.
TnTsParty- what an awesome time for a first 5k! My first was over 45 mins and I was happy!
