I have been running for four weeks.
I have not twisted an ankle, tweaked a knee, or sprung a muscle -- thanks to a very expensive ankle brace and careful mileage gain.
I am running five miles on Sunday, three-four on Tuesday and Thursdays. I hope to get up to ten-twelve miles on Sunday and six-eight on Tuesday and Thursday.
It's exhilarating.
I don't think I will ever quit doing this again.
I am watching the processed carbs and sugar and limiting portions. Ten pounds down from Christmas, five pounds from less than high school weight. This is beginning to feel like a lifestyle.
If you need a home workout, I totally recommend Jillian. Started doing it at my mom's during Christmas and have now adapted it (sans video) to my off days. Lots of jumping and weights -- my body really responds to it.
I don't usually post here anymore, but I am just so excited about what consistency has wrought that I wanted to share. I learning to push -- I love pushing.

Amazing! You always inspire me with your ability to push yourself. I've been working out to BL season one workout and enjoying it. I wish it was warmer her so I could run. I'm going to start going over to my dad's house to use the treadmill.
I can't believe you run that much!! How long does it take you. I think I would have a heart attack! LOL
Five takes an hour, which is kind of slow. The three-four thirty minutes, which is also kind of slow.
Speaking of heart attacks, when do you have your surgery?
I don't know yet. Hopefully in the spring. I have an appointment with my cardiac specialist and surgeon next week so we'll see what they say. My blood pressure had gone down, but now it seems to be a little high. I'm not sure what that will mean to them or if it will mean anything at all. I'm dreading the recovery. Apparently having anything even slightly touching my chest is going to be very painful. I'm not sure what they expect me to do with Hayden. I'll have to hold him. I guess I'll endure the pain. :)
Wonderful stuff, you are surely an inspiration.
Awesome, Becky!
