Marks is a cancer survivor, my client and friend. She recently took up running as one of her fitness regimen. Now, she fell in love with it. She’s planning and training for a marathon.
My run today:
1st lap (2.2km) = 15 mins 48 sec
2nd lap = 16 mins
3rd lap = 18 mins
I will be doing this regularly. I will be better.
My other motivation, btw, was: I’d rather run than feel lonely.

i have been putting this off for a long time. i really liked running while i did it, but i did not like running alone. on the other hand i hate being with people who are faster than me- i don’t want to feel like i am slowing people down. but if you just stick to running it gets easier and easier. i have never really been able to get over that first hill. i give up to easily. maybe there is some sort of encouragement program i could use. i have almost all the things i need to run, except a heart rate monitor.

Usually on the treadmill, I just walk at 4 mph at a steep incline. Well, lately I’ve been jogging/running on and off during my cardio workout, and I have been pleasantly surprised that I can run for more than 5 minutes! This is really exciting progress!

went for a run around the golf course in Whistler today with my 20 year old son. I felt like a slow short person :). I am 5’9” and not THAT slow ! He is tall and fast but was sweet enough to run my pace which wasn’t really my pace because I was trying to run faster….... at least I did it!

this is going to turn into a general exercise goal! Went for 40km bike ride today, mostly flat but it was fantastic. I love the feeling of craving for a bike ride. It was relaxing and almost like a meditation. nice :)

at getting back on the exercise wagon have been pathetic over the last year. I have been in a bit of a depression and just have to make my mind up to pull myself out of it. I went for a run today. It felt fine!

I see joggers down by the river, actually, I see them everywhere, they look so free and healthy! I’ve started this goal many times in my life.. but always give up when my side starts to hurt. Am I breathing wrong?
