9-28-11 Wow what a day!!! C25K Week 2 Day 3 This was absolutely one of the hardest runs for me ever. To begin with I had a stomach ache that threatened to stop my 1000 day challenge as well as the work out. My doctor recently tweeked my diabetes medication and I think it was too much. At any rate once I got to the track I was motivated to complete my mission for the day. Todays workout combined 90 sec runs with 90 second walks. My calfs and right shin were hurting so badly I could not do the entire workout as planned. I did however complete the 30 mins of aerobic exercise which kept my 1000 day challenge streak in tact. I Knew that to be succesful on my next run I was going have to change the routine somehow. When I got home that evening it was weighing on my mind heavily, I decided that I would just slow down my pace and force myself to do the workout as prescribed. Also because I really felt like my legs were not strong anough I decided to repeat Week 2 for atleast another week to improve my leg strength and endurance.
I received a email from a friend concerning the Buck Oneil 2.2 mile run/walk! This will be held on November 12th which will give me time to build my indurance up to attempt running the entrire 2.2 miles. While I am very excited about testing myself I have decided not to overdue it. If I feel like I can jog the entire distance I will, if not I will combine walking and running! Either way I am excited about the prospect of this challenge.
9-30-11 C25k Week 2 Day 3 1000 Day Challenge Day 82
My stomach was aching badly again today and could not get anough rest. Finally forced myself out of the house and to the track late morning. I began the workout with a brisk 5 min walk and alternated 90 sec runs with 90 sec walks. Today was painful again but legs definitely felt stronger. My indurance is still suspect but it didnt feel overwhelming. Calfs were in pain again but not unbearable. Strange thing when I completed my workout my stomach ache had decreased dramatically. Because I have a family history of prostate cancer it was suggested that i combined aerobic exercise and weight lifting for maximum effectiveness in preventing prostate cancer. Been thinking alot about when I should start but really want to feel comfortable with my running before i begin lifting. Promised myself that I would not delay the weightlifting to long.
Received a email verifying that I had been registered for the Buck Oneil race............so there it is, I am preparing for my second official race. Stay tuned for my next update.
