W4D3

Groan Im sick again, this bug has been sitting in my system for a few months, hopefully this means its coming to a head. I so wanted to do this day, this is where i crapped out last time. but i did 10 mins of exercise but had to stop. So I figure another week off or even up to the same day. I really enjoy the running. Alot of stress last week.

W4D2

Its in the bag. Did it at 8.15pm, very cold tonight. Like a winters day. Meant my cool down was pretty fast. Didnt put any oomph into it but at least its done.

W4D1

Well I had a break for a week and a half, that virus was lurking and I just wasnt able to beat it. Being menopausal theres just so much going on in my body that seems to take my energy.
So i started out today with plans to do week 3 again as a week and a half is a long time for a break, and i realised after i got 5 mins into it that I was on week 4. gawd it was hard going and my calves were really sore. Im pretty munted.
Started taking magnesium and calcium at night and zinc in the day. Hoping that helps. I feel like a stunned mullet lol Seem to be gravitating around week 4, geez.

Week 3 completed again

Well I did the last day of week 3 again, wasn't thinking I could knock that one out but after the heat of the day went down considerably I managed to knock it out over at the school. Didn't think I could get there this morning after a rough night and a really bad headache. I always seem to be affected the day before and after a big earthquake somewhere in the world.My cat followed me over to the field so I had to walk him back home lol. So next week its back to doing week 4 over again, seems like ages ago that I was half way through week 4. In some ways Im glad I did it over again cause its like Ive just got more solid in each run.

Week 3

So I did my second day of the week doing week 3. Its been sooooo hot the last few days and the heat wilts me. And I am getting my period. So waited until the cool air of the evening to do it. Felt very lethargic today and tired and frustrated I couldnt jog so its nice to get out and do it. The first 90 seconds jogging I felt breathless like the first week of jogging but it soon passed. I jogged over at the school and was doing a circuit near a couple making out lol. Its thursday so im a day late but it really was very hot yesterday, too hot for me. But its completed and its 9pm so im hoping i can get to sleep tonight. I feel good though.

Restarted again at Week 2

Decided to do a day of Week 2, two days of week 3 and then redo week 4 again. I need to work back up after 9 days off with a weird virus. Im still not 100% well but Im not chesty anymore. Been sweating it out the past few nights.

But man that was hard. I went to my sisters house as she has a big property and i jogged around the perimeter. I was digging deep. Mentally I felt really challenged, I went through the moaning part, then the egging myself on, then visualised all my friends and family sitting around the perimeter clapping me on. Then saw the whole universe energising me.All mind games which seemed to tire me out more mentally lol. When i got to the final 5 min walk i burst out crying. Felt like this was an endurance race just like my life felt. Cried for about 10 mins then got in my car and came home.

Exercise always does bring up any emotion that Im sitting on. But man every step today felt like a metaphor for my life. I had a few rounds of asking myself what I needed and energetically giving it to myself. Made me feel better. But heres hoping that 30 min burst of energy helps move this virus out. It seems to be doing the rounds with my friends and family.

Bummer I have a cold

Rats, Ive felt like crap the last few days, and now Ive woken with a cold. Its not heavy, I dont get colds heavy now but they impact me and linger. So deciding I wont do W4D3 today, and probably take most of this week off as I dont want to push it. Im bummed cause I love how the jogging is making me feel and Im losing weight. I notice when I have those 2 days off inbetween I start to get a bit sluggish. Im loving the way my body wants to exercise now.
