Weekly Progress
This week has been crazy busy at work, however I’ve gotten up each morning and met my training goals for the half-marathon in November. I signed up on Los’ RagaMuffintop challenge so this serves as my weekly update.
This week I well on the training and the eating. I’m taking the running a little slow due to ailing knees. Hopefully I can get them up to speed in the next few weeks. Here’s what this week looked like:
Monday: My Nike+iPod didn’t save this workout due to user error. However, I did 3.11 miles in a run/walk fashion. I would run 1/2 mile then walk 1/2 mile, alternating for the duration. On Monday I weighed 193.8lbs.
Tuesday: I hit Gold’s Gym for an upper body workout. Resistance training is the key to skinnying down.
Wednesday: Same as Monday. See…
Thursday: I ran a mile, then did some 100 meter strides.
Saturday: I just did a nice 30 minute bike ride at a pretty decent pace. I didn’t premeasure the distance so I’m not sure how far it was, maybe 10 or so miles.
Yesterday morning I weighed 190.3, after hamburgers and some cobbler yesterday afternoon… hey it was my free day… I weigh 191.4 this morning. I think next week I’ll be able to drop several. It usually takes my body a couple weeks then I can drop pretty quickly. We’ll see. Hope you guys had a great 4th.
Hey, keep up the good work! It WILL pay off.
I have a question for you, as I have been looking into this Nike+ thing. I say that you can buy the wristband & I believe the shoe device for $60 bucks but do you really have to have those specific Nike shoes they offer? I have Nikes but wasnt sure I would actually need to buy a new pair of shoes for this to actually work.
Let me know!
Im really interested.

Hey Gretchen,
No you don’t have to have the shoes. You can get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Nathan-Hydration-2008-Sensor-Pocket/dp/B000X9RM1I and it’ll work just the same. My mom got one so she could switch out shoes. She got hers at Hibbett’s Sports if you have one around. Good luck!!
Great job getting the running in. You’re getting there!!
