Health Blog

I am creating this blog to write down my health goals and sucesses so that my personal trainer friend (Yellie) can keep tabs on my progress.
I have found that if I have no accountability for being healthy, it's hard to eat well and exercise.
We'll see if this helps!

Run

I did what I said and I said what I meant, a runner is truthful 100%.
I went out for a run tonight - just a short little 15 min one.
I was very pleased with myself that I actually went out and did it, although it was a bit of a struggle to convince myself.  In order to make sure I went, I entered "Run 4pm" on the calendar on my new iPhone (trying to transfer some of the enthusiasm I have about my new toy to enthusiams about getting out for a run).

I'm wondering if I should do my running inside now that it's starting to get cooler outside.  I was fine with my limbs being a little chilled, but my lungs really burn when I inhale too much cold air.
I tried to breathe in through my nose (to warm up the air) and out through my mouth, but since I'm not in fabulous shape I need a lot of breathe and it's not efficient enough to breathe through the nose.

I have frittered much of the day away on TV shows and iPhones, so I'm going to have a shower, make some food and do some studying tonight.

  1. hey shan!! great work on the run! on those days you want to do anything but workout the best thing is to just get started! and that's what you did. awesome :) a tip i use for myself and my bootcampers regarding breathing in the cold air is get yourself a neckwarmer (pull it up to your nose) or a beleclava (sp?) and wear that. the layer of fabric really REALLY helps to cut the cold that can make breathing hurt. no you will not look like a superstar BUT you will be able to breath better and run more ;) whooT!
    happy trails m'dear!
