Week 7 Day 1

25 minute run tonight......Painful at first, stopped and walked 15 seconds, then kind of got in my groove. At one point I wasn't breathing any harder than when I walk, and Im like hey I feel like I could go for quite awhile if only.......MY LEGS DIDNT HURT SO BAD! My right calf hurts so bad.....and its so frustrating to know that it would be so much easier if my leg just wouldn't hurt so bad. When I got to the 25 minute mark tonight, I decided to keep going to see what I could do and to try and make it up to Alisa, and I ran an extra 4 minutes!!! Its so much easier at the tail end of the run time than it is at the beginning. Can't believe we are on week 7, and our 8th week of running!

Alisa and I have had a lot of people talk to us about starting, or telling us their progress, and we are so excited. You should know that we are both doing this as "obese" people and so anyone can do it. Im not having any weight changes because of the stupid Depo shot, and I've still been able to move along. So don't let your weight make you scared to start. Michael on this past Biggest Loser season, was running way more than us at like 350lbs. Push yourself, and KNOW that you can do it.....
