July 20th - MORE PICTURES from the race! 100 Day Challenge - Day 10

Thursday, June 21, 2012



So i found a few pics from the race for the Cure website that they've uploaded. I did contact them and they said that they wouldn't be done uploading them for another week or so. I guess they are uploading them as they receive them from the TON of photographers that were there...

They got the back of my head!


I found us! We are the second line of people on the right side...my friend has the pink square on the shirt...


The longhorns that were seen on our route...i still think they should have placed pink bows on the horns!


Sunny from Biggest Loser


Extra shots that i liked...








I will post more pictures as i find them once they are uploaded...i mean they took a ton of pictures of me so i'm looking forward to seeing them.

JAMIELOGICAL suggested that i try the C25k...i took a look at it and it calls for a lot more running then walking. I for sure want to do it but here's the deal. It's a 12 week program. In August i'm in Chicago for 8 days and then in Phoenix for 5 days. I don't know that i'll have access to a treadmill and i'm not "there" yet to run outside much. I do it during my 5k's but that's different...i think i'm making excuses for myself...hmmmmm



June Mini-Goals (20th-30th)
So now that i've tweaked my long-term goals, i've started thinking about my short-term goals. So here they go...
* I'd love to weigh about 269 come Monday morning - that would give me a 50lb loss
* To complete my daily goals for the rest of the month (as listed below)
* To stay within my calorie range through the weekend (baby steps)

    Yay! I'm famous! You mentioned me in your blog! emoticon

As for C25k, it can be pretty intimidating at the start. Before I began it, I was doing my own sort of interval training where I would walk for 4 minutes, run for 1, walk for 4, run for 1. Just getting to the end of that 1 minute of running I thought I would die! It's perfectly okay to do some "pre-training" like that, since C25k dumps you right into some pretty intense intervals. But the great thing about C25k is you can take it at your own pace. Just because it calls itself a 9-week program, doesn't mean you have to do it all in 9 weeks. MANY of us repeat workouts or entire weeks as needed. The key is to push yourself, but listen to your body. If you try the first workout of a new week and you simply CANNOT make it through, there's no shame and repeating some of the workouts from the previous weeks. But I promise you, you will be SHOCKED at how quickly you can progress. Two months ago I was doing that walk 4, jog 1 interval and last night I ran for 28 minutes straight!

Did I run FAST? No. But C25k isn't about speed, it's about endurance. Once you have the endurance built up, THEN you can work on speed if that's important to you.
