Running Around

Last week I wasn't able to hit the second week of running.  I started the first day, but because of my running the week before I had a sore ankle and it just didn't happen.  I am, this week, however, starting week two.  Normally I should start on Monday, but this week we closed on our new home so I wasn't able to take my normal exercise/lunch time.  Yesterday I started my week two regimen which is run two minutes and then walk one minute and I repeat that 10 times.  I will probably have to have two weeks of this schedule.  My 8 week walk/run program is slowly turning into a 10 week program, which I don't mind.  I really want to pull through this whole program.  So it might just turn into a 16 week program, which is fine.  My body seems to need an extra week of a new week.  Being a bit more overweight than the average beginning runner, I can't take it too fast or else I will sustain some sort of injury.

This week's weigh-in was great.  I worked really hard last week.  The weekend was a little bumpy, but I had done enough work the week before to help me take home a 2.4lb loss.  This week I am trying to keep up with that weight loss.  I have tinkered with my numbers for this week, dropping down my everyday points a couple of notches.  Along with my workouts, I hope that I will be able to take home another 2.4lbs, or even some loss.  This weekend may be a bit hard to stick to my diet because we are now moving into our new home on Saturday, but I am going to try very hard.  We'll see what happens on Monday.
