ok so day 4 .. much like day 3....except no coersion needed... probably because i was able to sleep an hour longer and it was daylight when i had to get outta bed... lol
there was just a slight hesitation of... do i feel up to this today?? and then immediately just popped outta bed... turned on "Angel".. started peddling... checked facebook.. (obviously) played a few bubble burst games... and just peddled away.
about ten minutes into the ride the left hip had some sharp pains.. but i just powered through because i am quite certain they are going to hurt when i start the running... but about a minute later there was this loud pop and the pain was gone... soooooo makes me wonder how it popped out to begin with.... maybe someday i will get that checked.. hahaha
I am excited about the numbers today... hopefully they will only continue to increase. Have decided that I will only weight once a week during this process. Am trying to drink tons of water.. but i hate.... did i tell you i hate the taste??? but i try to power through...oye
so here are the numbers for today.... next week.. going to increase to at least 45 minutes if not an hour!!
hate the taste of water??? LOL! i think you need a britta filter. water shouldn't have a taste! :)
ReplyDeletegood luck in your training! it's great you're cross training first. very smart! keep pedaling, even after you start running. you're gonna love your first race! be careful, tho! it's addicting! haha!
my best advice - which took me years to take myself - BUY A GOOD PAIR OF RUNNING SHOES. go to a good store like gazelle sports or something similar and have them fit you in a running shoe. it will prevent pain and injury down the road. trust me on this one. i wish i would have done it a long time ago.
check out this link. i used his half marathon training program last year. i know a lot of first time and experienced runners who have used his programs.

lol @ Jen I DO!! have a filter and the water still tastes gross!!
ReplyDeleteThe surgeons office provided us with a training schedule for beginners and cross training was part of it.. :) and yes.. the shoes.. someone told me about the shoes... and with my hip issues i agree!!
I was going to run the lakestride however I have a conference I have to attend out of town now due to some changes at work... :( but there are other races right?? :)
