Training Day 6

Well today started off with me waking up and going to weigh in and be measured for the end of a 12 week weight loss challenge I was doing with a local gym that I am a member of called Titan Fitness. I lost 12.2 pounds and 15 inches in the 12 week period! Super excited! I weighed in this morning at home before I left and I weigh 226.6, a loss of 18.4 pounds since September 1st! That is 3 weeks before the challenge started. It's coming off slowly, but surely! I did my regular 50 minute Zumba class with Ben at the gym along with my sister in law Liza (Frankie's wife). I then somehow talked Liza into running with me today. Per schedule yesterday was an off day and today was the week high of 5 miles. I told the gym owner this morning that I started training for a half marathon and he asked if I had paid for it yet. No, I haven't. I don't plan on paying for it until after the first of the year because of the Christmas Holiday. He proceeded to tell me that I'm not training yet then. Ugh! Really?! I guess he doesn't know I'm dedicated to this! I wanted to kick him in the shin, HARD! lol I did tell him that I am blogging about it and staying accountable. He just smiled and said ok, good. I'm sure he only wants to make sure that I am accountable and means well, but for the moment I did want to kick him in the shin! I'll be forwarding my blog address to him later so he can start reading for himself! Hi Josh!

So back to the training info. I wore my orthotics to Zumba today and for jogging. The feet didn't hurt as bad during the jog, but I felt like I was falling apart afterwards. Its probably a good thing that I had to work 4 hours this afternoon-evening otherwise I would have probably gotten stiff resting.

I did 5.39 miles in 1h 26m 08s. I do realize this is slow, but I jogged the entire way! Liza did a great job too, she stayed with me the majority of the way although she walked at times she was able to catch back up to me. I just have to remember this:

I work tomorrow and Monday 12 hour shifts so those will both be off days I imagine!  

Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!
