Training Schedule

I went to the doctors office last Wednesday for my annual female check up & my blood pressure was 154/92. I am sure my blood pressure was high because I had my 6 year old son with me, but when the doctor came in the office he said that he wanted to check it again in about a month to compare numbers. If we have two numbers in a six month period that are elevated he thinks that we should try meds. NO! I have spent the last year and a half "searching for healthy" and losing 100 lbs to prevent all these things and here the doctor is taking about meds.

When I got home and started talking to my husband about it he said "Well there are two things you can do if it is high, get the meds or exercise." What! Exercise! I will start an exercise program and then quit with in the first 6 days. Can't stand it. I know that I shouldn't but I loved the fact that I lost 100lbs with diet alone now I need to exercise.


Overtime! Final score
was home 9-8!

That's why I decided that I am going to start my training for a 5 & 10k. I found a training schedule here to follow that says I should be able to run a half marathon by the end of October. Running in a 5k is one of my goals to accomplish before 2013 & larger races are def on my 30x30. I have ran before but just like my other exercise tries it only lasted about 4 days.

Today is day two of my training schedule and I have not even started yet. I know what a loser. I got called out to work yesterday and couldn't stop and do some strength training while making hotel reservations for guest! Then this after noon I planned on walking my first 1 mile cardio walk after the pony baseball game we went to, but they went into over time and I could not pull myself away. So instead of walking, I paced the fence holding my 25lb one year old. That counts right!?! Tomorrow I will must likely do at least .75 miles in the morning and then again in the late evening just so I don't feel as bad for skipping my first CW to watch the game.

One way or another I am going to finish this train and work my butt off. I will at some point run a half marathon and hopefully prevent any meds that I DON'T wanna be on for the rest of my life.
