You have the birthday mojo going for ya! Gooooooo Jenn!

[Jenn! 918]

Well, I did it!

But I have to admit I felt like barfing afterwards. Maybe that was a little too much. Amazing the difference a few seconds can make.

How is the weather today? (changes in temp and humidty assuming you run outdoors)

Did you go from a 9 min mile to an 8 min mile just today?

Either way...congratulations. A birthday to remember!

I run inside so I can control my pace.

Last week I did it in 8:15 - tough, but not puke-worthy.

I bought some reduced fat cheddar cheese today...gross! I'd rather have 1/4 as much of the real stuff!

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

I don't eat cheese/dairy but from what I remembered I used to like it alot.

Well couch to 5k didn't work so well for me. Maybe a 50 year old shouldn't decide to start running.

Maybe I didn't try long enough. Just don't seem like a need to run if no one is chasin ya.

You shouldn't give it up altogether, Jackie. No reason you can't just work towards a brisk 5k walk. Alternate slow and fast walking instead of walking and running. In fact, I've read that if you're not jogging at a 10'-mile pace or faster, then you might as well be walking anyway.

Don't give up Jax!! Just do some healthy walking.... which btw, I've done the treadmill everyday this week and have it booked into my lunch schedule to do it everyday but Friday - I'll be swimming then!

I did 4.5 miles today, 45 minutes. It's not so bad at that pace. I am pretty tired now though - I could use some coffee, but they're all out, so I'll have to have some tea.

i was always wondering-- aren't you doing this on your lunch break at your work? I may be remembering totally wrong. i was just curious as to if they have full-facilities-- as it would seem kinda yuck to go back to work all sweaty lol. Otherwise I figured you were going to another gym on break.

What is everyone eating at this point? I know some were going more vegetarian, some were cutting portions, etc.

I am so close to being able to get some really good harvest out of my garden-- once that starts, I plan on more or less munching out of there. Right nwo i'm still doing my normal veggie eating, although on some things that he insists I eat with him (like cake) I am trying to just eat a small piece and really cut back on helpings of other things.
