I just posted my report on Day 1 of Week 7 of the C25K on the Week 7 page. Thanks for coming by!
25 Minutes and onto Week 7 next time!
Having a good weekend, everyone? I just wanted to let you know that I’ve posted my report on my third workout for Week 6 on the Week 6 page. I did 25 minutes today! đ
Another Link & an Interlude in Week 6
Here is the third step of Roni’s series, “3 Steps to a Healthier YOU!”
I also commented on her article, but wanted to repeat my comment here, so I’ve posted it as an interlude to my Week 6 progress on the Week 6 page. It was something that I realized I wanted you all to read, too, because it explains a little about my attitude about the running.

Week 6, Day 1 Report Posted & Links…
I finally wrote about Monday’s workout! You can read it on my Week 6 page. Doing Day 2 today, so that should be up soon, too.
If you get a chance, check out Steps 1 & 2 of a 3-Step series from Roni on her site, Roni’s Weigh, called, “3 Steps to a Healthier YOU!” She’s got a lot of personal insight into getting healthier and accepting your body before you can change it, and how losing weight didn’t make her happy, but getting healthier did. Step 2 is about throwing away the idea of being “on a diet” and making good choices, instead. If you make a wrong choice, make a better choice the next time. It’s a very insteresting read. I’ll post the link to Step 3 when it’s on the site.

Walking vs. Running & Net Calories
I just found an interesting article on runnersworld.com that asks the question, “How Many Calories Are You Really Burning?” and talks about the differences in calories burned between walking and running. I had no idea that there’s a difference between “total” calories burned and “net” calories burned. It’s an interesting read. Has anyone else ever heard of this?
Week 6 begins for me tomorrow. After doing the 20-minute run yesterday, I feel that tomorrow’s will be a lot easier, having shorter, more frequent intervals. I wonder why it’s after the longer run? Maybe it’s deceptively more challenging, or maybe it’s a merciful break before the 25-minute run at the end of the week. đ
20 Minutes…On Cloud Nine!
I finished Week 5 with a 20-minute run! I’ve posted my report on my Week 5 page. What a feeling!
Thanks for coming by!

8 Minutes!
Today was Day Two of Week 5, meaning I had to do two sets of 8-minute runs, with a walking break in the middle. I also had my very first “should I be going on” moment, when I started feeling a little nagging feeling in my lower right leg. Both reports for the week so far are posted here, on my Week 5 page.
Thanks for coming by!
Week 5 is underway! Also, dress picture posted…
The first report for Week 5 is up, on my Week 5 page. I also updated my prior post about trying on my wedding dress after 10 years. I finally reached the weight I was then, and it even fit better this time than it did on my wedding day! You can see the photo toward the bottom of my Week 4 page.
Here’s a link to an article by Dave Bailey for all of us beginning runners (and maybe some entertainment for the old pros) that I found thanks to a post by JennerVT over at the Running Ahead boards: At 33, I Suddenly Got the Running Bug.
I hope everyone’s week is going well!
Week Four Done…and My Wedding Dress Fits!

UPDATE: Photo is now posted of me in my wedding dress. đ
