When I am tired, that is when I tend to make bad choices and being sick is usually when I am the most tired :( Keep up the good work!!

We're apparently on the same weight loss schedule since I lost a half pound, too. (It was up a half pound from the day before, but I think I was dehydrated from soccer the night before when I weighed in that morning.) So, maybe you could lose like 5 pounds this week so I will? LOL. Anyway, considering I was sick all week, I guess I'm happy to just not have gained weight.

Hopefully by then I will be a pro and I can give you pointers or maybe just a free night to get some running done :) <br /><br />Did you get my text last night?? I sent you the dates that Natalie sent us. I am really hoping we can make it to one of those trips, but you know how Jed is. He really doesn't like to make long term Dunes plans. This drives me nuts, but I understand why he is like that.

I should probably note that I had continued to do some cardio/strength DVDs at home throughout the spring/summer, which is why I felt like I was in better shape starting it the second time.<br /><br />I probably should have continued my running, but decided to play it safe and just do as many 30 minute walk days as possible. I finished week 5 of the program the last weekend of December 2012. :(<br /><br />Do you guys have a Dunes trip planned?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877279133074764412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921218825759930700.post-72158745672922099492013-02-06T11:30:48.824-08:002013-02-06T11:30:48.824-08:00Thanks Kayla.

But I need to look more into it, maybe start somewhere in the middle. I agree that the adrenaline kicks in, I have never ran a race, but I know on game days I was always more amped and had more energy than any other practice day! <br /><br />I think I am going to do the Fools day race here in Salina and then Run in the Race in Wichita, Color me Rad is what I think it is called. Calendar is fillin up! I should be in great shape for our next Dunes trip! I am going to need it since we don't have a RZR yet!!

It's a 9-week training (3x per week recommended) that works you up to a 5K with walking/running intervals, you choose whatever speed is comfortable for you. However, IMO I feel that by the end of Week 5, a person would be able to run a 5K without walking. The adrenaline of actually being in a race would push you through.<br /><br />Congrats on the 1/2 pound and the pants that are too big, and good luck this next week/weekend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877279133074764412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921218825759930700.post-68124957996921108442013-02-06T08:04:40.011-08:002013-02-06T08:04:40.011-08:00Thanks Heather!!!
