This is why I don't like to share....
Yesterday morning I got up early and went to the track around 8:00. I walked a few blocks there, stretched and proceeded to do my wogging (walking/jogging combo). I decided to push a little harder. I walked 2 minutes then jogged for 2 minutes and 30 second. I did that for 36 minutes then cooled down for a few minutes and stretched again. My brother lives a half a block away so I stopped by to say hi and grab a bottle of water. The kids wanted to know why I was there so early and why I was so sweaty, or wet according to my niece. So I told them what I was doing. At this point my SIL asked me what I eventually wanted to do in regards to jogging. I told her that I'd like to be able to jog non-stop for at least 15 minutes and maybe even do a 5K. Her reply?
"That's not good for you."
WTF? I tell her that obviously I wouldn't be able to do it until I lost another 10 pounds or so, so that's why I'm taking it slow.
"It's really no good for your knees".
Now, I'm not into pain of any sort if I can avoid it so obviously if it bothered me, and so far it hasn't, I would stop. I just find it hysterical coming from her. She tries every possible fitness DVD craze on the TV and never sticks with it. She tries walking and it bothers her ankle that she fractured a while ago so never goes around the track more than once. The she has a Nordic Track and never uses it.
THEN, my brother tries to tell me that I shouldn't be doing my wogging routine, I should be doing what he does: run around the track once, walk once, then run around again going a little further, walk then run even further, etc. I try telling him that I'm following a program from the WW magazine, but it just falls on deaf ears.
Saboteurs and know-it-alls, that's my family for ya.
