Hard Core Fitness Maniacs for Mon Aug 8

[[email protected]]

Today was bis, tris and shoulders and abs.

My son made it through the wisdom teeth extractions, very swollen and the Vicodin he was prescribed does not effect him much, my daughter when she took it, slept and was able to sleep through some of the pain but not him, very weird. So, the pain has been a little hard for him and the surgeon said today would be the worst day (Day 3) because healing really starts, all anesthesia is out of system, so we shall see.

Today starts Week 7 of C25K. This week is 3 days of 2.5 miles straight.

I'm happy to say, I did it! I set my timer for 37 minutes, put it on the side of my treadmill where I couldn't see it, covered my display, started my music and started jogging. Did well until the last 1/4 mile. I just wanted it to be over. I really wish I could learn to love running. I just don't feel it. Where is that euphoria you're suppose to get after running? That runners high? Maybe I'm just not pushing myself hard enough to get that, but I certainly have never experienced it. Even with Cardio Coach, I've never experienced a runners high.

Oh well. At least I feel accomplished.

CARDIO STATS:
50 minutes total
7 minutes below zone
6 minutes in zone
38 minutes above zone
433 calories burned
3 miles travelled

Roselyn - Glad your son got throught that. Hope he heals fast!

Roselyn, sorry your son had to have that experience. I know how miserable it can be. I hope it goes away soon.

Debbie, yeah for getting it done. I used to run up to 10 miles at a time and I didn't feel anything I felt was a runners high. I turned on the television and wore a wireless headset to try to semi occupy my mind so I wasn't bored to death. But I still like doing a run once in awhile with some good music or motivational audio workouts.
