day off from walk/run

Hello, today I am taking off from my walk/run.  I am 39 years old and in college.  I lost my job in Jan. and prayed alot, God lead me back to school to finish and get my cosmetology license.  Mondays and Wednesdays I have 3 classes, I also have an online class.  I'm busy.  I didn't know college was so hard, I am currently taking core classes , and I will be so glad when this semester is over.  I am single, and happy being single.  I would love to have a mate and be in love, but past experience has shown be that it is not worth it.  I am focusing on school, my future career, and my kids right now.  Nothing exciting has happened so far today, I've had two classes, about to go to the third class, computers, first test of the semester,  I think I'm ready, hehe.  My journey to a new life is well on it's way. I will give more details of my adventures in life tomorrow.

Day 4

Yesterday I bought new shoes for my new running experience.  All the tennis shoes I tried, didn't work, after running my knees would hurt.  I have high arches in my feet. I bought walk n tone shoes,,  although it says in the information provided with the shoes (that I didn't read until I got home, and the girl at the store hadn't read either) not to jog or run in the shoes, I found them to work fine on pavement; however, on the ground I was a little off balance.  Dr. Oz, says to drink protein shakes, yesterday I bought soy protein shake mix, I also started drinking soy milk last week.  I developed this problem with my stomach almost 4 years ago, and after 3 years of going to the Dr. all the time and them telling me there was nothing wrong with me, except I have IBS, which by the way can be very painful at times, I decided maybe I have became Lactose Intolerant.  I started the soy protien shake with soy milk today, will update later on how that is working out. As of now, I am sitting on my bed with ice on my knee, I think walking/running with the wrong shoes, I may have pulled something.  I can't run far at a time, It's not that I'm tired, it's that my muscles in my legs cramp up, so hopefully after a while this will get better, and I can run farther without having to stop and walk.  That's all I have for now will write later.

Day three of my running program

Hello, today is the first day of my blogging experience!.. I am about 50lbs overweight, and have started my venture to become a runner.  I have wanted to run for a few years, but the job I had drained me, so I never had time.  I lost my job in January, went back to college in March, now I'm going to dedicate myself to fulfilling my wishes and dreams.  I started a fitness program at my kids Boys and Girls club 3 weeks ago, after the first week I realized this man was trying to kill me (not literally).  I decided that this is the time for me to start running, and to prove to him he will not beat me.  Today I participated in a city wide clean up, I ran, partly on the way back.  My goal is and was by the time I was 40 I would be at my goal weight and happy with myself.  I will be 40 in 5 months; therefore, I have alot of work to do.  Wish me luck!!!
