Running
So I started running a few weeks ago. Not Forrest Gump-style continuous running, but I regularly go running now. It's not everyday, but not every other day. I go about 4 times a week. I wanted to start getting up early to run before my day starts, but I'm so bad at getting up. I'm routinely 30-45 minutes late to work(which is ok at my job fortunately), because of my lack of skills, in the area of rising from bed.
There is a little stretch of road behind my house that turns into a Fire Station/Church parking lot. I just started running there, because there are rarely cars, so I can go running at 11:00PM, or similar dark times, with no problem. I'vbe gradually upped the distance I run, to a makeshift course starting at my house, running to and around the parking lot, and returning to my driveway. It's a llttle bit over half a mile(I measured it with My Car's Odometer). Right now it's only about 5 actual minutes of running, but I'm hoping to slowly build it up to at least twenty minutes or so of activity to actually get an aerobic workout. Running on the concrete is uncomfortable, so I probably need to pick up some non-walmart shoes, before I destroy my feet/shins. If I can get myself running at least a mile a day, I'll feel pretty good. It seems quite reachable after building up to half a mile, in two and a half weeks.
I usually run around 3-5PM, depending on when I'm done with work and other factors. The best thing that's happened so far, is that I don't get sore for days, after a run. This will help me to not be sore for days at work, after softball games with church ha.
Anyways, I'm hoping to start losing weight again. I'm also trying to eat less. I'm not dieting, just trying to stop my constant eating. I eat so much junk all the time. I've mostly cut out soda again, which is good. I'd like to lose 10-20 pounds by mid april, which might seem lofty, though I once lost 40 pounds in a month and a half(though that was unhealthy ha, and not really purposeful). Maybe this will help push my heart attack back and I can live past thirty.
Oh yeah, also I'm thinking of finding some sort of 5K run to sign up and train for, as motivation and a goal. I'll see if I can find something right now via the internet.
