CatHerder's Journal, 24 August 2015

My running has been going well. I ran a full 3 miles, slowly, on Saturday pain free. I was a little sore this morning during my run. A little left over from my Saturday run. I bumped it up to 3.5 miles this morning. I'll be increasing my distance by .5 miles per run until I get to 6 miles. This is in prep for my 10K on Labor Day. I won't make my time goal but my current goal is just to finish the race.

My current exercise schedule is going to be 3 days/week running and 3 days/week of weight training. That will give me 1 day per week to rest. Wish me luck on this schedule, it's going to get tough to stick with all of the exercise. I'm bound and determined, plus stubborn, so we'll see how it goes. I have also upped my calories a little to make sure I don't have too great of a deficit with all of the exercise. I'll be tracking my weekly burn rate and compare to my intake and adjust on a weekly basis as needed.

I hope everyone has a great day!

I am SO happy to hear you were pain free since I know you like running.

Sounds like an ambitious but definitely doable exercise plan -- especially like that you give your body 1 full day of rest . . . WTG on the running and like HCB said, especially on the pain free aspect!!

Wonderful!!!! Stubbornness gets me through a lot of my projects too! Stick to it! It will so be worth it in the end.

Fantastic news about the running! Combined with eating only about 1500-1800 calories a day, you should see the scale drop at least 3 pounds a week now. I'm cheering for you!
