March 28, 2011 - weekend workout
Good morning everyone,
I did my 1 min run/2 min walk on the treadmill. It went well but I was extremely winded just before the mile mark. I was done in about 14 minutes. Not too bad. Bri, I will do what you mentioned about the 1.5 grade tomorrow. Today is a day of rest. Found I had a little bit of energy when I got home so I cleaned my kitchen stovetop. LOL!!
Sunday, I left at noon to do my 3.6 mile walk around the park in the city of Buffalo. Its a nice park adjacent to the Buffalo Zoo. The weather was nice and sunny - not warm by any means. Had my sweatshirt, t-shirt underneath, sweatpants. Wore my spring jacket zipped up and headed out. It took me about 25 minutes to do 1 time around, 1.8 miles. I did the 2nd time around so I was out there an hour. Seen a lot of people out there walking in the park. Walked around a lot of people more than once around and talked to a few of them or smiled at a few (2 guys I walked past about 3 times, the 3rd time they nodded and said hello). At least we have nice people in Buffalo. the only people who didn't pay attention are the hardcore runners.
Tomorrow is another 1 min run/2 min walk. Thursday we all get together again as a group and run the same route. Hopefully it will be easier.
I did manage to lose another 2 lbs. 187!! The "biggest winner starts on 4/4. I've been doing the 3 salad a week for lunch thing for 2 weeks. Plus 1 fruit, 1 veg at 2-3pm (sometimes 2 fruit). I just paid my $15.00, stuck it in the envelope. Now I have to hunt down Mary and Todd for the 15.00 and take it up to the cashier before friday's registration and $$ deadline.

I am quite impressed with your determination. Way to go!
Way to go! Keep it up!
Great job Jen! You\'re doing it. The 3.6 mile walk at the park sounded nice. Keep it up! You can do it!
Very impressive workout, You go girl : )
Wow! I\'m not even close to where you are at. Good for you! I\'m still walking on the treadmill, but the damn thing always puts me on an incline. I hate inclines! LOL! I usually try walking for 20 to 30 minutes since other people want to use the treadmills too. I can do twenty minutes pretty good, but it\'s a battle to do the thirty minutes, which is so worth it. Anyway I continue to give you good luck with what you\'re doing. Keep at it.
