Phase 1

I'm just about to come off of phase 1 again. I put myself back on the stricter plan because I haven't made any progress all summer and I could feel myself slipping. So I'm hoping I can get back my prospective and be able have a lot of self control through the holidays.

It's starting to get discouraging. I'm so close to my goal but I just can't seem to reach it.

Tomorrow's Plan:

2 miles.

I DID It!!!

I ran 4 miles in 49:30! I think that's pretty good considering I just started running again last week and hadn't ran at all for 3 weeks before that. I read that it takes 1 week to gain back ground for every week you take off. It kind of blows my mind that I can even go 4 miles, 1 mile used to seem like so much. I love the fact that I don't get winded or even feel tired when I'm running around the soccer/softball field. Plus I know that my heart is very strong (my Dr. confirmed it while I was having an asthma attack) and my peak flows are way higher then they're supposed to be for someone my age/height.

Hodge Podge

While camping last week I tried trail running and found it to be really super fun and different from my normal routine! I want to go again really soon.

I'm planning on running 4 miles tomorrow, which is more than I've ever done before. We'll see how much of it I have to walk through.

Once again I need some new music, what's a girl to do?

I have 4 more days of prednizone left and I can't wait to be done. It has given my the most nagging, annoying headache everyday since I've been on it.

While camping (and on steroids) I only managed to gain 2 lbs! Maybe the ¼ mile hike to the nearest bathroom was actually a good thing.

Asthma, Asthma, go away...

I haven't ran in what seems like forever. I tried to go the other day and couldn't because of an asthma attack, and I'm sick of it!!!! I'm dying to get out there and pound the pavement again. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.
