Well yes, I am running again. January 5th I began training for my first half marathon. At that point, to be honest, a 2 mile run was a bit taxing. But by Valentines Day, I ran my first 10K (6.3 miles), and felt pretty good.
I struggled after Valentines Day to get back on my running schedule and had 2 weeks where I was lucky to run twice a week. I finally had to re prioritize and for the past few weeks I’ve been back on track.
I am now running the longest distances of my life. On Saturday I ran 8.5 miles and yesterday I did an hour of yoga followed by a 6.5 mile training run.
With all of this running, you would think I’d be a size 4, but I’m finding that I am very hungry and therefore not losing much weight. When I limit my carbs and sugar I seem to lose the weight, but that is challenging when running these long distances.
Anyway, to all of my fellow runners, keep up the good work. And to all of who wonder if you can, the answer is YES, you can.
Get out there and wear it out!!
