Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / May 2004Joined a running class
Remember back when Jayjay joined a bootcamp class at the crack of dawn? I joined a running class that meets at 7 am on Saturday mornings. (My husband was shocked when he heard the time. I pointed out that I wasn't scheduled for anything else then.) I'm just mentioning it here so you can ask me about it tomorrow. :-) Dally, attempting to be accountable that was a great idea! i > Remember back when Jayjay joined a bootcamp class at the crack of dawn? > I joined a running class that meets at 7 am on Saturday mornings.

Ok, so I'll ask now, since I will be sleeping in tomorrow. First day of in something like 5 weeks now. :) How was you running class? > Remember back when Jayjay joined a bootcamp class at the crack of dawn? > I joined a running class that meets at 7 am on Saturday mornings.

First day of in > something like 5 weeks now. :) > > How was you running class? Harder than I thought. I've certainly run that far and for that long, but always on treadmills or flat tracks. Introducing even slight grades made it noticeably tougher. I was near the back of the pack the entire time. I wasn't obviously unfit to join the class [already in progress for 7 weeks now] but I was no ringer. In fact, I'm a bit bummed about my bum. I had noticeably more junk in the trunk than anyone else there. I wasn't the oldest, but no one else looked like they were in weight-loss mode. Ah, well, it's all part of my master plan. I figure if I keep ACTING like I'm at 23% body fat then I will eventually get there. We just need to make sure no camera catches a glimpse of my fat a.s trundling down the road. I'll go back next week and try again. Dally > >>Remember back when Jayjay joined a bootcamp class at the crack of dawn? > >>I joined a running class that meets at 7 am on Saturday mornings.

I got where the 12 miles hikes were no problem, but then we introduced trails with elevation gains, and it kicked my a.s in half the time. It's just a matter of continuously challenging your body. I think that once you get comfortable, it's time to challenge the body in a different way. Sounds like you are doing that! And you'll be better for it in the end! > In fact, I'm a bit bummed about my bum. I had noticeably more junk in > the trunk than anyone else there.

Have you read the desiderata? "If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time." Just keep remembering how far you have come, and the only comparing you ought to be doing is between where you were, where you are now, and where you want to BE. > Ah, well, it's all part of my master plan.

I'll go back next week and try again. You'll make it. But you must be in acceptance with what 23% looks like on YOU. And I'll tell you what I would think if I "saw your fat a.s trundling down the road". I would think, right on! Someone who is actually doing something about their health! That's always what I think when I see fat people huffing and puffing with their walkmans or whatever on the trail. The vast majority never will make those efforts... det > "Dally" <dally@myself.com> wrote in message >>Ah, well, it's all part of my master plan.

Thanks, Det, I really appreciated your kind (and wise) words. Dally > > How was you running class? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > time. I wasn't obviously unfit to join the class [already in progress > for 7 weeks now] but I was no ringer. I had a hard time getting back into trail/road running after spending the winter on a treadmill. > Ah, well, it's all part of my master plan.

I'll go back next week and try again. That's the key, stick with it. Today was a big 5K race in the area (and a marathon) and I wasn't able to participate because it was also the last day of the grad class I was teaching. My knees have been bothering me a lot lately so I haven't been training and it would have been a waste of $20 for me to enter even if I was available. I'm running about 8-10 miles a week now at 11 minute pace just to stay running. I wish we had a running club or some type of class like you have in my area. Some friends and I took some initial steps to start one, but it was a ton of work that none of us had the time to do. Keep up the great work. You'll be more than ready for that 5k coming up.

I wish I could be of more comfort to you. You sound so beleaguered by all this. > Today was a big 5K race in the area (and a > marathon) and I wasn't able to participate because it was also the last day > of the grad class I was teaching.

Running 8 to 10 miles a week may be all I ever achieve: that a three mile run every other day. That seems sufficient to me. > I wish we had a running club or some type of class like you have in my area. > Some friends and I took some initial steps to start one, but it was a ton of > work that none of us had the time to do. This is sponsored at a local gym. It's interesting in that it is a free class, it's open to everyone in the community, and people all over town seem to know about it. They run a 12 week beginning class (aiming towards being able to run 5K non-stop at the end of 12 weeks) and an intermediate class (aiming to run 10K non-stop.) Judging from the participants, it seems to be more of a social club for people who can already run. Hmmm, maybe like ASD is for dieters. :-) Dally Way to go Dally, I wish I could run again. It sounds like you'll have a lot of fun running with others. I hope you really enjoy it and get where you can gain distance and decrease your time.

I don't recall why you can't run [now], but don't worry, there are lots of ways to achieve fitness. I neither bike nor swim, for example. Dally > Remember back when Jayjay joined a bootcamp class at the crack of dawn? > I joined a running class that meets at 7 am on Saturday mornings. (My > husband was shocked when he heard the time.

I think that this is the website for their group: http://www.jeffgalloway.com/training_groups/raleigh.html I'd love to hear more about your running group. Good luck with it! Signaturejmk in NC |
