So Awesome!

I got out of the show early and still had enough light to go for a jog and for some reason I had a ton of energy. I did about 1.75 miles in the neighborhood at more of a jog and less than a walk.

So in 32 minutes I did close to two miles. Yay! And I jogged most of it. When I walked it was not as often and not as long.

Feels good to be getting ahead, even with all the issues and the blazing heat. The sun was setting and I could feel heat radiating off the blacktop like a furnace. Ugh!

Probably won't get another good one in Until next week unless I can get out Sunday.

Slightly Better

Yesterday and today I just jog/walked the neighborhood. I did about 1.5 miles each day so that's ok. I just needed to get out and do something, even if I'm currently unable to jog a mile consistently right now.
I did some hills too. I like jogging up the hills but even walking down a slight grade just jars my knees and makes them feel like they lock up. I want to train myself to slowly jog the gentle declines by October but we will see. If I have to walk down the hills and slopes I'll do it to save my knees.
I like my knees.
So far I've been using my ijog app in the neighborhood and I really like it. It seems pretty spot on in regards to distance. I compared yesterday's jog with an online map and it was the same so I'm going with spot on. I'm hoping the "calories burned" is good for my body too. I like burning almost 200 calories in one 30 minute jog/walk.
Tuesday's are off and Wednedsay is my last jog before I start stage managing. I'm hoping to fit in some quick jogs but stage managing is a giant time suck...sure it is a fun one but it is a time suck nonetheless.

NOT HAPPY

I'm so not happy! My piece of crap body is going backwards. I tried to jog a mile today and only made it 880m before my leg started hurting so bad it felt like it was on fire and I had to stop and walk or physically collapse.
I'm so annoyed. At least I jog/walked 2 miles overall. But I should be doing better by now.

I REFUSE to let my crappy body rule me. I'd rather die from jogging than from not doing anything.

I have a doctor's appointment to check on the swelling in my legs and these weird burning pains but I don't have any faith or respect for doctors. I've found that they usually think whatever they want and don't bother to look at symptoms or genetics. Boy I loathe doctors.

Sigh

Back to it

Man, I'm totally falling apart. So many health issues. Still, I refuse to let my crappy body control my desire to get back into some semblance of shape.

I went out Monday night but took it slow since I'd been off for a week. It was nothing exciting. Tonight was a nice neighborhood jog/walk. I'm pretty sure I managed to do a total of 2 miles because I've been timing myself while at the track. That way when I'm street jogging I have a time to compare.

I forgot to use my fancy new jogging app to time my miles though. Darn. When I'm at the track I don't need it and I haven't really done anything but the track in such a long time.

Right now my back hurts a little too much. Hopefully by taking time off tomorrow I'll be fine.

I'll hit that 5k. Oh yes, I will!
