So, this week I went for two runs with another planned for tomorrow. I am running on a route that is 7.18KMS. I am planning three such runs per week, for now. I will be mapping out a longer route when I am successful in running this one fast enough... but for now, that is the goal. The first day that I ran it I managed it in 50 minutes and yesterday my time dropped to 45. I want to keep at it for one hour so I just cooled down a bit longer and in 58 minutes I managed to get rid of 707 calories. I love running for the calorie burn and for the challenge. I would be lying if I did not confess that this shit is HARD to do!! But, hey... I am doing it!!
So, here are a couple of pictures... one of me and my partner for the second run, you might recognize her... my SUPERMOM! She is insanely fit... I had a job to keep up... hope I can be that much of an inspiration to my children at 55 years young! The second is just proof of the calorie burn!
I mentionned in the previous post that my sister and I are starting a bit of a duel... to see who's weight-loss techniques are more successful. I would love to invite you all to visit our new site: Momma's Weight-loss and I am willing to hear all the advice I can get when it comes to running for weight-loss or home fitness solutions. I mean, I can't let her gym techniques win!
Thanks for your ongoing support everyone! Make it a great day!

Impressive running! I just can not get into it myself... after a run everything hurts in not a good way. Like my knees and ankles. Plus, I hate every minute while doing it. I do however admire people that can!
Awesome that you are on a running plan! I am best on a plan :) what run are you planning? I went to your other site and that took me on a disturbing visit to My Fitness Pal where I put in some of what I ate today (not the chocolate) and I am left with 81 calories for supper. Yay. UNLESS I go for the run I am avoiding. darned wind.
I am SO in awe of your physical abilities. I used to run a bunch, but never enjoyed it. Not after years. I finally came to the conclusion that my body is not built for running. Walking, biking, aerobics - those are all on my to-do list, but not running. So wow! You're amazing!
Good for you! It is hard to get back into the swing of things but one step at a time, right? Just getting out there is a huge step along the way. Signing up for races is definitely a great motivator and I find it helps to have a training plan to help me stick to my goals. Can't wait to hear how it goes!
Wow, awesome plan!
Good for you with the running plan. It's very inspiring. Keep it up!! I myself need to get motivated. Going to check out your diet plan..
Stopping from SITS. I have health issues, too (Lyme) and would like to say hurray to you for getting the energy and stamina to jog! :) I know it would help if I did more.
