Several months on ...

I guess it is time to update again!

I dropped out of the challenge. Guess you guessed that. But my health was not allowing me to go at the pace we were heading.

But I miss how great I feel exercising.

So I have joined the gym again and am working at my own pace, with some guidance fromt he instructors.

And doing the couch to 5k again.

I just want to find 30min to an hour of exercise I can do. Every day. That's it.

Today's workout - 30 min on treadmill, C25K day 1 week 1.
10 min on xtrainer

Just on hold a bit ...

stupid asthma

I'm getting help. In the meantime I'm walking. And doing a little weights.

But while I'm waiting I'm starting a new blog. About what we eat. And why. And our journey to healthy healing foods

Still feeling it ...

Went to the gym this morning.

Took it pretty easy. Just treadmill and bike for 30 min.

I'm tired. And sore. My butt is really sore. (stupid spin bikes)

I expected to feel this way ... just not yet!!! It's only week two!

Can you pray for renewed energy for me .... and relief from PAIN!

Tired and heavy.

Tonight's cardio was tough.

I hated the steps. Hated the bikes. Pretty much was over it all.

Felt tired and heavy and ugh.

Earlyy to bed tonight I think ...

OK - in the interest of total honesty.... I freaked out.

Went to the gym on my own last night. Thought I would walk in and do weights.

Got there - realised I had no idea what I was doing. No other women in the gym at that time.

Turned around. Picked up my stuff and walked out.

No WAY this is going to beat me though. Going back tonight. With a friend for back up. And looking forward to the day I KNOW is coming. When I walk in. Know what I am doing. And just work out.

Watch me.

Not the best start. River Run.

First River Run this morning. 6am. I was doing ok. Even enjoying it just a little. Then I felt my left calf tighten and pain shoot through.

I don't think I've injured it - but I did need to drop back for one loop of the hill. And take it easy the rest of the way.

Must admit it was a real downer. I wanted to start this challenge with a bang. Not a possible injury. And not by taking it easy either.

I've iced and stretched and iced and massaged ...

Not the most illustrious start - but a start at least.
