THIS ISN'T JUST FOR ME

I've started this blog to be a record of my fitness journey . . . but not just mine. I want this to be a blog for others to document their journey as well. A blog for those with a desire to lose weight, or strengthen their body, or build endurance, for those who have large goals or small. This blog is for inspiration, documentation, encouragement, sharing. Tell us what your goals are, what you're doing to reach them, what's worked, what hasn't, etc.

I would be happy to add you as a contributor to this blog. Just let me know who you are and your email address.

Week 6 Day 1

I finished the 20 minute run of Week 5, Day 3 on Saturday.  I ran 3.4 km. in the 20 minutes which is good enough for 5K in 30 minutes if I can keep the pace.  I was happy with that.  Later Saturday morning my knee started hurting.  Not a lot, but irritating and I started wondering if this was the end.  I went to the chiropractor yesterday morning (my regular monthly adjustment).  He checked my knee and couldn't find anything major.  He suggested I buy some insoles.  I got some and decided to stick with the schedule and do W6 D1 this morning.  It is less strenuous than the 20 minute run.  I got into my walk and discovered that Day 1 and 2 are not on my IPod for some reason.  I couldn't remember what it was supposed to be so I just made it up.  I did an 8 minute run, 4 minute walk and 9 minute run.  I was supposed to do 18 minutes of running divided into three runs with walking in between so I was close.  The knee is about the same, no better, no worse  I'll take it a day at a time and see how it goes.
