Week 1 of 23: Tuesday

Time: 45 minutes
Distance: 2.62 miles
Average Pace: 3.49 mph
Time Spent Running: 18 minutes

Today was a great day. I had eaten well last night (some chicken wings, salad, .5 of a large hamburger) and I think that that had helped me recover from yesterdays run. Last night after the run my right knee was giving me some real problems.... no real pain, just a constant ache. This morning, however I felt great.

The downward plunge of my weight has slowed considerable. I still lost weight yesterday, but no wear near as much as I had the previous day. I'm actually quite happy with this, because I want to do this as healthy as possible. And I definitely want to keep the weight off after I get it off.

Tonight I plan on eating my leftovers and a large salad.... and tomorrow is a scheduled rest day so I'm looking forward to that.

In my 45 minutes today I walked 6 , ran 5 , walked 3, ran 5, walked 5, ran 3, walked 3, ran 2 , walked 4, ran 2, walked 2, ran 1, walked 4.

You will notice that I ran a total of 18 minutes! yesterday I could barely run 2 minutes my third bout.... today I was able to run 3 and then add another 3 minutes onto the day. Granted since this is Tuesday and the day before my first weekly rest I'm supposed to push myself..... I'm just happy that I was able to.

Good luck to all the other runner wannabes out there.
