The first week is done! Today I just felt like I could run farther, but I didn't. I keep thinking about how the bronch like this better.

Rin, wow, great job. I'm so glad your in such a good place. Hope you enjoyed the movie.

Saturday I ran a little over 2 miles outside. Then marched in a St. Patrick's day parade. Sunday my legs were spent, so I didn't run again. I did so many dishes, made a roast for my family and Irish stew to bring to work today. We had fun at a luncheon. I also had to pick up my daughter from the train downtown. She was returning from NYC again. What a life! Okay she is young.

Tonight, hopefully to the gym for a run and a weight workout.

Slan,

Patty

I ran 3 miles today in 37:42 minutes. The average pace was 12:35. I then did a weight workout. Tomorrow I will be sore, but I will run anyway.

Have a good day all.

Patty

I ran today again. I was surprised when I woke this morning that I wasn't very sore at all. I did run fairly slow, about 13:05 min./mile. It was a good run and I'm going to try to stretch all day as I think the third day of running in a row needs that.

Tom how have you been? Is the back okay?

Have a good day!

Patty

IP - ugh migraines - thats no fun at all good to hear that the GI doc treatment is helping!

Tom - 3-4 runs a week - that's great news!! plus the back being a non-issue, that's great.

So, here's my week in review:

Tuesday - did 3/3 run walk 4 times as per running program. Couldn't breathe very well.. actually first 2 minutes on each interval were bad, and 3rd minute I was breathing great... tried to do weights, could barely do it, so quit. I felt really lethargic, so took a hit on the inhaler when I got home.. and felt much better. But as usual, didn't really recover until the next day. It turned out there was dust on my headboard on my bed.... I cleaned that off Wed nite. Anyway, I did this run according to doc's orders, and seemed to be just fine the next day. I don't know if that's due to the Symbicort...

Thursday - did the 3/3 run/walk 4 times again at the gym. It felt great! I could've gone on much longer running, but didn't. I stuck to the program. I did weights too.. just fine today.

Today - did 3/3 run/walk 4 times again at home. It was chilly in the house, and had to wear a jacket while running in the house I walked 20 minutes and still wasn't very warmed up.. did first 2 intervals & it felt hard, but I was breathing fine. After the second, I was warmed up & took my jacket off. The second 2 intervals were just fine.

So, now I'm thinking about repeating this week... while I now I can run the 4 minutes on the next week, if everything is going well.. but if its not, maybe I'm better off doing this week over again. What do you think?

So tomorrow when I go to the gym, I will decide depending on how I feel... I think that's the smart way to handle it. Because if all is good, it will not be a problem.

Happy Easter!!!!
