Week 2 day 1

Today is my off day for everything. (rest day)...  knee is a bit sore from yesterday's run.  I was supposed to have an MRI this morning and I totaly forgot about it, but i did reschedule for Wed am.

end of week one

I ran 4 miles today (sunday) with a knee brace, it was ok, for now.  i can feel some stress in my leg still.  monday morning is my mri.  anyway, i ran the 4.9 miles in 45:04   so not great but not bad.  i did some walking and took a water bottle with me. it is hot muggy and although it did rain a bit, it is still clamy...ugh.  haha.  yesterday i lugged bags (17) up a flight of stairs, took them to the salvation army.  moved a bunch of boxes and trash for my dad.  good leg work out. haha...
well all in all this was a good week i managed to make sure i did something physical each day.  now to work on my eating.  I need to tweak it ... 

Day 4

Well, I went to the gym, did 7.5 miles on the bike today, along with a great leg workout.  going to try to do a little more cardio thisafternoon.  :) 

Day 3

So yesterday I called and made an appointment to have my knee looked at, today is an off day and my knee hurts so I am not going to do too much today.  post ya lata :) lol

Day 2

Well, this is not good!  My knee hurt so bad after two miles of my 3.2 mile run I had to walk the last mile. not a happy camper! 42 minutes !  bad. time to make a doctor appt before it gets worse.  :(  
Well I am hoping for a better day ahead.  oh, i did put on some joint stuff before i ran hoping it would feel better.   it feels stiff...
ugh

day 1 training

Well, today is the official first day of my half marathon training.  I will be training for 20 weeks to run in a Half Marathon in Las Vegas on Dec 4th.  Of course i do run and work out but I am so out of shape, I am also hoping to drop some of the weight I have managed to gain, this will be a bonus, as I am goning to concentrate on the running first and formost.  I have a 2.5 run today, I am going to run this afternoon or later tonight.  I am a morning runner but all things planned usually don't happen just the way you expect.  I have my granddaughter with me this morning.  Had she brought her sneakers I could have had her come with me!  Well, I am spending the morning with her then off to work.  :) 
I will update later with my time and so on. 
Update:   ran 2.5 miles in 27:14 in the heat of this afternoon!  (5 pm)  man it is hot.  felt a bit of a twinge in the knee, but it is okay now.  i did walk a bit.  not much.   i practiced my "leaning forward and making sure my knee and hip lined up!"   see ya tomorrow.
