I got up early today as a dry run for starting my new first shift job tomorrow. So far so good. I am waiting for a load of clothes to dry and then I will go to the gym. I have never been one of those people who wakes up early on weekends. I have to go to the gym in so many layers now that it's cold. Under my sweats I wear a pair of running shorts and a tee shirt, and then over that I wear a hoodie and a pair of exercise pants. I top that off with a down knee-length parka and I'm good to go. I want to increase my time on the track, but it's still so hard. I also need to do a good arm and ab workout today. It's been 4 or 5 days since I've lifted weights. I should be getting a new pair of running shoes in February and I keep my eyes peeled for sales. I know I should go to a running store to get fit, but I really don't want to pay upwards of 100 dollars for running shoes. I was looking on the Nike website and some of their running shoes are 270 dollars!!!! Almost 300 dollars for running shoes - no effin' way. My progress is good for the 10K. I am up to 4.25 miles, and on January 15th it will be 4.5 miles. Other than that, doing well. Trying really hard to stay on track with food. I had incredible results last week and then I went over my RDI for two days this week so I'm back to trying to string together a whole week below or at my RDI.

Good for you! You are progressing well and motivated! WooHoo. Imagine how you are now running MILES when last year you used to write about trying to hit ONE mile! I hope you feel proud.

Hiya! I'm just catching back up on the site after a couple of weeks away and was reading over your last couple of journal entries... that's so great that you're running farther and faster than ever and losing multiple lbs in a week, well done! Its always hard to follow up a week of incredible results but you are so disciplined with your exercise that I think you can always feel proud no matter what the scales say.
Good luck with finding some cheaper exercise clothes and running shoes, they are so ludicrously expensive! Be careful you don't get tempted into trainers that aren't quite right for you in the sales though, unfortunately I think they are one thing that you really have to get right as they do make such a difference. I hope you spot some good'uns over the next few weeks!
