Val & I started walking today. C25K. So we did some jogging too, it felt... wonderful! I love jogging. Why don't I ever do it?

You love it? Go Tina!

Yes, I love it. I don't really know how to explain it. There are a few things I like about it. I like watching the track passing below my feet & I like that it's kinda bouncy (don't comment), it kinda makes me feel like a kid.

Yesterday, I jogged for the first time since I hurt my foot. Okay, that was just Monday, but we have limited time before our 5K! Did I mention we're running a 5K on May 1st! Well, as I said in my Journal, I got new shoes and did my whole 30 minute workout with no pain!!!

Go Tina!! Yay for 5K I'm super excited!

So Sunday we went to the mall to get Jared a watch battery since cell phones arent allowed on the T-ball field, and while we were there,...


Jared bought running shoes!!!!


So we did my walking/jogging exercises together today! We didn't get to go until it was nearly dark & of course it was full dark by the time we were done. It was such a busy day with t-ball that we didnt eat until 7 and then we went jogging immediately. Oooohhhh, I got a stitch in my side with all that food & water jiggling around in there. But I made it through anyway & that concludes my first week of training!

Now Jared just needs to convince Hugo to get out there!

I've been away, but I've been jogging. I started week 3 last night. I'll admit it, I was truly afraid that there was no way I could make it through 3 minutes of straight jogging. But you know what? I did it twice! I am so proud of myself. I finished my jogging session without giving up once. It was tough, but I actually thought the 90 sec. jogs were worse than the 3 min. ones. I think I really prepared myself mentally for that long stretch of jogging, I kept thinking that if all those fat people on the Biggest Loser could do it so could I. And I kept thinking about Jillian telling me that if I was going to vomit, I needed to hurry up & do it and get back on the treadmill. :P But when it came down to it, right when I felt like I was gonna have to stop, I got that little adrenaline rush that pulled me through to the end.
Now I'm really thinking about trying out the fat people yoga tonight...

I jogged for 16 of 32 minutes tonight! I feel like a superstar. I truly did not believe I could do it. I figured I would get started & end up doing week 3 stuff again. But I did it. 2 3min & 2 5min jogging sessions. I kick butt! Now, I wonder how many calories that burned?
