from my blog as well... week 3 of couch to 5K is not going well for me. i did my 90 seconds of running, then my 90 seconds of walking and just couldnt do the 3 minute run. i dunno what it was / is... my calves cramped up like a mother and it hurt just to walk, much less run. now, 3 hours later my legs are crampy, my feet need a REALLY good rub/massage and my right glute is achey... i did walk over 3 miles. 2 miles on the treadmill (31 mins) then i went to a new park to scope out the new trail. its a pretty good one that i will more than likely go to. it does have a slight incline, but i can deal with it. i did a lap (.298 miles) in 5:21.4. next time i will time the entire run/walk (ok, i walked 99.5% of the time). i may even go tomorrow ... WTF???? i want to run ... i love the rush of running ... why wont my body cooperate?? and i'm not running fast at all ... 4.4 is my 'average'. i even dropped down the speed to 4.2 and i just couldnt do it. so instead of c25k - this is what i did: 30 seconds running 4.2 1 min walking 3.5-3.9 45 seconds running 4.4 2 min walking 3.5-3.9 1 min running 4.4 2 min walking 3.5-3.9 1 min 15 sec running 4.4 2 min walking 3.5-3.9 45 secs running 4.5 cool down. this is nowhere where i want to be ... NOWHERE... i am disappointed in myself and my will power (or lack there of..) im depressed. the one good thing - my eating was on target today! in fact, there are some "brownie bites" (that i bought this weekend and had 3-4ish), and didnt have any today! yay me. i need to work on posting my food all the time - not just my good days ... :eek:

you guys are doing SO well!! :clap2: :clap2: :whoo:

3? wow... i'd be PB'ing if i had 3 whole bites of food ... :heh: or did you mean half bites .. btw - What Is A PB Again??

actually, i do sometimes (ok - not 'commonly') eat a few bites and am satisfied. however - this response is typical from this "expert" bandster... :eek:

gahh!! weight not dropping..

this is my 2nd bad run in a row though. i am going to keep running, we'll see what i need to do to keep the pace ... even if it is running shorter bursts for a longer time period ... ????

i just cannot believe the ham comment ... i mean geesh! the DAY after surgery??? even the thought of food made me want to hurl

Tami... OH YEAH!!! here is a great thread. it has become quite long. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f80/i-hate-when-people-post-just-post-44270/

karen, it was bad even on the trail. i just couldnt push past it. :eek: i dunno what i am going to do. i definitely want to keep running, even if it is building back up to couch to 5K...

how is the quickslim working? are you noticing anything different? C

Karen, dont feel down on yourself. reevaluate everything. what are you eating (ahem - i know someone *not me of course * who has eaten garbage and works their tail off so I ... i mean she ... wont gain)... if your eating is good, check measurements ... please dont be hard on yourself no matter what the situation cause that just leads to destructive behavior ... you can do this ... !!!!

cause losing weight makes it easier to run..

jfran, good for you!!

wow - the fact that the Sx called you back is a good sign of his practice so far.
