Running girl...

So, I went to my first learn to run class yesterday and I LOVE it.... despite the pain.

Yesterday was my first week, but the classes second week. We started with a lap of the YMCA yard and then headed out for a 3 km run. According to the instructor I ran 80% of that 3km. The first half I managed to run straight through. After the run we went into the Y and did some core, triceps and leg work. My abs are really tender today and my legs are aching. But I'm going back!

My plan is to run Monday, Wednesday with the class, and Friday on my own. On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday I plan on walking. And then Sunday will be a day off.

I have stuck at my low carb diet today, eating half a bar and a yogourt for breakfast, a weight watchers cookie for snack, a roast beef sandwich on weight watchers bread for lunch, and a hamburger/asparagus/mushroom/onion/cheese mix up for dinner. I haven't had as much water as I have in recent days, but I have still drank some.

Here's to another great day tomorrow and a great run. Here's hoping I don't have another bought of weezy lungs (like I did last night) and hoping that my legs carry me all the way through the run.

Stand-by.
