I am starting to run again!

I am starting to run again! Yes it is true after all these years, I will be running again! This time I am running for health not to run in a race. I will be starting to walk just to get back into shape since I just had a baby 3 weeks ago. I will be journaling my experiences here. I want to keep track of my progress and how I felt. Also this is the first time I will be walking/running in the winter in Manitoba so it should be interesting. Sit back and enjoy!

The results are in....

Bazan Bay 5K

So, today was teh big day!!! I start running, then I walked, then I ran for a bit and walked.... but I did a big finish by sprinting to the finish line where I was met by my own personal cheering section! It was a good feeling!
The times are not posted yet, but I came in aroun 45-49 min. I am so proud of myself!
However, I have no energy now and have been sleeping all day, so that will need to change for next time. Now that I know the route, I can practice running it and train for the TC 10k for next month.

I will post my time when it is up

Saturday March 10

Well, my ankel is still sore and swelled up the other day, probably cause I was wearing heals and I shouldn't have. However, the fist big run is tomorrow. I am going to speed walk it so I do not anger my ankel even more.

Bazan Bay 5K HERE I COME!!!!!

Running again!

I have been going to the gym almost every day practicing for the big run in just over one week. I must say that I am nervous and excited all at once! I wish that I had been able to get in more practice runs, but that's life.
I am going to be away this weekend, but I am still going to try and get some running in over the weekend.

Sunday February 25

I did it!! I went out on my first run since I injured my ankle!!! I did five reps of 3:1 (run for 3 min and walk for 1 min). Even though I know that I walked a few times for longer then one minute, I went out there and ran!! I just may be ready to run in the 10K now!!! YEAH!!!!!!

I feel great, but now I have to ice my ankle.

Sunday February 18

Well I took yet another week off from walking and running. My ankle is still swolen but I continue to ice in hopes that eventually my ankle will return to its normal size. Tuesday I am going to the gym with a girl friend, at least I will be able to work out a little bit. I miss running.
