Friday OC Challenge Update
Erica had a great idea to give a Friday update, and here I am hijacking said idea.
This past week sucked in the workout department considering the headache episode. Before the headache hit, I was working on jogging for a 1/2 hour straight and was doing so at 4.2 mph, 3 days a week. Then the headache hit and today was the first day back at the gym.
I was on the treadmill for a total of 40 minutes (5 warmup, 20 min. jog at 4.5 mph on a 2% incline, 10 minute walk on a 5% incline, 5 minute cooldown)...that adds up to 40 minutes, right????
No headache which is a good thing.
AND, I'm down 2 pounds since I signed up to do the Challenge.
AND, I still have to pay my money to Allison's PayPal.
This weekend I have to buy running shoes. My $12 Kmart sneaks just isn't cutting it. My feet hurt and my knees get achy. But I do ice my knees for 15 minutes when I get home.
That's it until next week....

If you're looking for running shoes, you might want to try Mizunos. Or go to one of those running stores where they look at your old shoes, how you walk/run, etc. and recommend shoes.
Anyway, congratulations on your 40 minute workout and weight loss.

Thanks Ally.
I actually bought a pair of Nike something or others that felt great when I tried them on.
I'm going for a run today, so they should provide the support I need.

I'm glad the headache has gone (and hopefully stays away). You rock for keeping up with the gym.
How's the triathalon mentor/buddy thing going?
