Started running again

I used my other sport shoes for running on Friday. The shoes are more for skating than running, but I ran for 14 1/2 mins before my right ankle started hurting, so I stopped at 15 mins. I then jumped on the elliptical for the other 15 mins for my cardio workout. It felt great!!!

This means my ankle is healing up, I just need to take it easy. Maybe, do elliptical for two days and run for one day. I'll try that out and I'll see how it goes.

I've got to say that our nutrition class last Thursday was awesome. It was just a fun class. I really liked the breakfast burrito and the lettuce wrap was the bomb.

No running for a week now

I have not ran for a week now and I feel guilty not doing it. It almost feels like I've started from square one again. No running! I can't wait to get new shoes or inserts for my shoes, so that I can try running again and see how my ankles feel. I think for now the elliptical and long walks are sufficient.

Wrong type of running shoes

Lately my angles having been hurting. I can't even run for 2 minutes without them hurting, especially my right angle. I found out from Traci that I was wearing the wrong type of running shoes. I got the over pronate ones that would support the inside more than the outside. I will have to go to the shoe store to either get some new shoes or some inserts. I really didn't know the difference. I learned something new :-)

As a result, I'll be on the elyptical for about a week to give my angles sometime to heal. I can't wait to start running again. I prefer running on the road or on the treadmill than the elyptical.

Is everybody coming in the mornings now? I hardly see anybody at the gym anymore at the times that I go. If you are coming at a different time, keep it up. If you have not been slacking off, get back in the gym; we're almost there!

Slipped a little

I slipped up alittle over the past few days. I ate a 1/2 lb guacamole burger and fries at burger supreme, then a large banana cream pie milk shake from Sammys to top the night off on Thursday. It was our 6th year anniversary and that's why I had to go all out. I don't think the guacamole was worth the calories because I didn't really like it that much, but the milk shake was absolutely delicious!!!

Then on Friday I took my boys to our neighborhood fathers and sons camp-out. On the way up the outing, my boys got hungry and we pulled over to McDonalds. Since they got something, I couldn't resist and I ended up grabbing a beef/mushroom rap. It wasn't worth it as well. Then at night I had a bowl of peach/strawberry cobbler for desert.

Saturday morning I ate 4 breakfast sausages and probably 3 scrabbled eggs. After fathers and sons we had to come home and setup for my oldest boy's birthday party. I had to try a piece of my sons chocolate/reescs star wars cake. It was sooo good that I took another piece.

So there you go, that was my slip up. I know, I know, what happened to self control.
Anyhow, I'm ready to go for a long run tomorrow morning and I've started watching what I eat again today.

Starting to enjoy running

I never thought that I would ever say that I would enjoy running. My angles are not used to running long distances. They started hurting after 20-22mins of non-stop running. It's not too bad; when I'm done running, it stops hurting.
I also got a little blister on the bottom of my right foot. Maybe I need to tighten my shoes alittle next time.
For the hurting angles, I guess I'll see how I do for the next couple of days.
I also did some ab workouts after running and that is another thing I hate doing. It's going to take a while to get used to it. We're almost there guys. Come on, we can do it!!!
