10km today well the trial anyway-Oops change of plans

Lori E and I are doing a 10km trial run today, it's 4:30am and I am about to leave, wish me luck! On a personal note, Lori Q leaves tomorrow to get married to her dream man, congrats! and my son has his convocation today, he is offically a teacher. He already is teaching in a temporary position until the end of June, Congrats Ry, well done!

Ok we only did the 6.4km many problems this morning, no car so I was late, Lori played ball and was very stiff, but we did increase both our jogging time up to 40 minutes and our sets up to 7 minutes. Plus I feel fantastic! I will do the 10km on Sunday with, I hope, Ryan or Ernie.

Check out the new total!

Megan, Kyle, mom and dad had a garage sale in Esterhazy for me! Way to go guys thanks so much!!!!!!!

Day 3

Waiting for Lori Q it is 4:45am we are doing our 5 km today, will do 5 minute sets with no more than 3 minutes walking between, right through or I don't get enough sets in. Still love the early mornings! (but not on vacation)

Day 2 for Sue

Had Family down from the states so the diet went out the window as I don't cook so we had take out! Back today full force, 10 days left in May!!!!

Week 7 of 9

I have had a good and bad long weekend, I walked twice with two friends that were both impressed with my speed (I still don't think I'm faster) but I ate to much! It was my daughter's birthday and my mom made my favorite cake! one thing lead to another and here I am starting on Tuesday to try and run off some of those extra calories!
Tuesday: 5km jog with Ernie and Dakota at 5:30am
Wednesday: River with Lori Q and Lori E, we jogged 35 minutes in 5 minute sets, with 3 minutes walking in between, can't seem to get the time down but we are increasing the amount of jogging so that will have to do for now. Next week Lori E and I will attempt a 10km to see how long it takes us, I am the turtle in this group, slow and steady, but I finish the race if I remember the story correctly.
Thursday: rest
Friday: 5:00am with Lori Q for a 3.5km
Saturday: since I didn't get in a 5km yesterday Lori Q has agreed to do a 5km with me this morning, she's such a nice girl and it's her wedding shower/stag/hen party tonight so I will be her driver so no drinking! but lots of dancing, it's a Latin night out!
Sunday: rest!

It's 4:45 am

I really enjoy the early morning jogs. I don't have to worry about it the rest of the day and I feel so good after. I love mornings! Very few people are out, traffic is a breeze and all the early morning joggers say "good morning" to you. The birds, the sun.....oh you get the picture OK. I love morning jogs.

Inches Gone

Well the weight has been taking it's time coming off so I decided one month ago that I would start measuring myself to see if there is a difference in my size. Well in one month I have lost 5.25 inches! not bad eh, unfortunately the biggest loss was my bust! But a loss is a loss.

Week 6 of 9

Good Morning, I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! I took the weekend off to relax and enjoy Ryan waiting on me hand and foot! I don't get that treatment from him everyday, it was wonderful! Back to reality now.
Monday: off
Tuesday: river with Lori Q at 5am! We did a new record, we did 30 minutes of jogging, yes I think I am finally jogging! We did 5 minutes of jogging X 4, with 2 X 3 minutes of jogging and 1 X 4 minute jog which = 30 minutes, YAHOOOOO! Will do another 30 minute jog this week maybe 2 and next week will try to increase to 35 minutes! I Feel Great!
Wednesday: only got in 1 mile this am
Thursday: River jog with Lori Q at 5:00am did 30 same as above but instead for 2 X 3 minutes I did 1 X 6 minutes. OH YEAH!!!!!
Friday: Dakota has been giving me the "eye" so I will do the 2 mile walk with him today.
Saturday and Sunday we have friends down for Phantom but I'm sure the ladies will come out both days and do the 2 mile walk with me.

Tomorrow is May 10th

Tomorrow is May 10 which is one year to the date from race day! Excited! Long way to go! Excited!

week 5 of 9

Getting a slow start this week, but plans go as follows:
Monday: off
Tuesday: 2 mile walk with Ernie and Dakota
Wednesday: 4 mile wog with Lori E -OK new record, Lori E and I wogged, almost jogged. We ran 25 minutes, again not all at once but through out the 4 mile run. My best prior to this was 18 minutes!
Thursday: 2 mile walk with Dakota and Ryan, yes the boychild joined me for a bit of the walk, he was out jogging anyway!
Friday: 4 mile wog with Lori Q at 5am! we did 25 minutes again, yahoooo. I will talk to Q and see about going to 30 next week just to keep increasing the time, the 10kl is in 4 weeks, and I'd like to be doing 40-50mintues by then.
Sat and Sun will wog one day and walk one day
In two weeks (week of the 19th) Lori E and I (and maybe Q)plan to try a 10kl she has a marked trail we will take and we will time ourselves to see how we are doing! I am very excited and looking forward to it, I know I can't jog the entire trail but I am jogging more and more.

May 1st

Well my weight loss didn't go as well as planned, last week it was good this week not so much, (the ladies will understand the slight gain). But I lost! I am going to keep losing now, mostly because of the walking/wogging. But my eating habits are changing and for the better. I do love the Weight Watchers formula where you can eat as much or what you want until you run out of points, it teachs you to make healthy choices through out the day.

Challenge for May from me to you all!
For every pound I lose in May you have to write one comment somewhere on my June (month) blog. So if I lose 10 pounds (god willing) you have to write 10 comments.

Whose in? Leave your name in the comments and your guess on how many pounds I'll lose, if you guess the right number of pounds lost you are off the hook and don't have to write any comments. Deal?
