Whew… I don’t know if it’s getting harder because I’m getting older or because I’m just fat. LOL. Ok, I’m not that fat, I am overweight, I have about 25 pounds to go, as I have already said, but some days, I just feel fat… [ok, I’m also throwing the girl card in there, I am a little bloated, one guess why…]

So, at the gym, all I really do is walk/run about two miles a day, I’m not saying that’s a lot and I’m not saying that’s a little. Since I get up at 6:30, I make it to the gym by 7:30 [sometimes it does take me a while to get out of the house, when I finally stop hitting the snooze button] and I only have 30 minutes to work out and then get to work. I think I’m doing alright, I am trying the Galloway Method [http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training/marathon.html] I walk/run/walk/run. Some days, I walk 5 minutes, run 10, walk 5, etc until I hit 30 minutes; some days, I can’t run 10 minutes, so I walk 5, run 5, walk 5, etc. you get the picture. I think it’s all good, I’m getting 2+miles in every morning and I am starting to feel a little better, but sometimes, I keep this knot in my chest that doesn’t dissipate for quite a while.

This morning was cool, I did the 5/5/5 method, but I felt a pick up in my steps towards the end and I was running my heart out for the last 5 minutes and surprised when the treadmill slowed down for the cool down. Very cool, well, at least I think so!

My goal is to run 2 miles a day for a few weeks until I’m more comfortable, then add another mile and another mile until I am running at least 5-7 miles a day. Then I know I will be more confident to attempt a half marathon, I know it’s 13.1 miles, but if I can get past the halfway mark, then I think I will be golden and who knows what the future will hold after that.

That is my musing for the day.
