Running

I have been running since December. The lovely thing is that I have gone down two sizes. My original goal was to go down one more size but I had to readjust it to two. I recently discovered a fun site called Map My Run. I like the site because you can map your runs and keep track of them. You can also join challenges. I joined the Asics challenge to run 100 miles in a month. I started on the first of August. The best thing about the challenge is that you can win prizes. I think you can also map your bike rides and keep track of other types of workouts that you do. Check it out!

Running sucks but the benefits are awesome. Congrats on your work and yes, map my run rules.

Thank you! You are so right! I find that if I get up and run right away I don't remember that it is not so fun until I am half-way through my run. Then I will get home faster by running than walking so why not finish. The ipod does wonders too.

I think it is great that you are running. After a little unexpected weight loss I'm now walking using my treadmill. Keep it up!

Thank you! The encouragement is always welcome! It helps doesn't it! Congrats for your weight loss and your walking on the treadmill! I also wrote about this at my other blog Snapshotofaday.blogspot.com

Thank you, Vivian! You could definitely do it! I just started slow but kept going and now I am doing about 4 miles a day.
