manderlyh Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 ^awesome! I hate running, no matter how in shape I am, I just can't do it. I hate it. That said, I lost 4.2 lbs on my first week of my boot camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~tangerine~ Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Went running with my son this morning for the first time Hi Virginia! Sounds like you are doing a great job meeting your goals! You should have no problem by the time the marathon comes along! My youngest sister ran in a charity marathon a couple months ago. I was a "jogger" for years. I easily ran 5 or 6 miles at a time, usually 4 or 5 times a week. Started in my late teens but by my early to mid thirties i had to wean down to walking. My knees started to really feel the shock of running. I mostly ran on hard pavements so that wasn't the best choice. Just be careful. The shin splints heal in a few days, but damage to your knees is another story. Oh i sound like a downer, sorry Now swimming is a low impact, high enjoyment sport!

Thanks I'm taking it pretty slow; I figure running at any speed will be a personal improvement over walking the race last year (although I did run a little bit). I started running for the first time about 4 years ago; I trained for this race several times before actually doing it, and once I got up to running 2 miles at a time I too developed knee problems and had to stop. This time I was professionally fitted for really good shoes and looks like I'll be getting some special inserts too, since the area I'm running in is hilly. I also run on a treadmill at the gym, but haven't been there recently. Right now I'm at about a mile and a half of running and 1/2 mile walking; my practice route is 2 miles, so when I can run that twice I'll be ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tip, if you don't already do this, do some good stretches before you start to run, along with the very important warm-up and cool-down time. Also, make sure you stay well hydrated! Good Luck, Virginia! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, well you are already wet so yeah, guess wouldn't matter if you did sweat You can get a great low impact Cardio workout nevertheless. I have loved swimming since i had lessons at age five. For me, it's just so relaxing and peaceful to be in the water. Nothing quite like it, aside from being asleep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punksandwich Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Doing well at work and getting 5 good appointments which translates into $$$$ One person I just couldn't speak with was named Latella Dickey. What kind of parent would name their daughter that? She probably was one of those Fannie Mae recipient's anyway, a bad lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~tangerine~ Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Being able to really make a difference in someone's life, even if for only one day. Because of my perseverance and great pride in what i do for a living, i was able to keep a homeless lady from spending tonight in a shelter. It's not easy to get a doctor to stop a discharge, but i did it. Me and all my co-workers were so relieved at the outcome Edited January 15, 2009 by ~tangerine~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
