11 more days.........

......till the 10k!

I most likely will not run it under an hour, due to some set-backs.
Maybe that can be my goal for next year.
Running in the cold has been a change, especially on the lungs.
But I have found the best way to adjust, is to take short walking breaks.
It helps my lungs to recover and adjust, and it does not hurt my time.
Although, I have added a few minutes back to my time, by not running for almost 2 weeks.

And......the weight is back.
What an ongoing battle!   :/
I don't know what to say other than I have not given up!

Last night, I was reading on a "running site", why running is good for you,
and it said that most people lose about a pound a week when they start running.
I have been running for over a year.
And now am able to run 6 miles straight.

While at the doctor last week, I discussed some health issues I was having with my doctor, and my weight gain (up almost 20 lbs since January, and basically I weighed this while I was at the end of pregnancies),
he said that I should not be putting on weight, with the amount of running that I do.
He is running several different tests, which I am thankful that I have a doctor that takes action and does not blow me off, like I hear about other doctors doing.

While I am obviously hoping all my tests are good, it will not offer any explanations.

And yet, I admit that about half of what I eat, is not helpful to weight loss, but also,
half the time I eat really healthy, but still gain.

Anyways..........blah blah blah.............

I am still looking forward to the 10k...........
And running it with two of my favorite runners!
Who said they were NOT runners in the beginning,
but are proving to be AWESOME at running!!!!!!
And great encouragement for me to keep going.  :]
