That sux.

What's up with the paint biz?

I have a barn full of work that needs doing.

Looks like it will start to happen.

So I made it about a mile before having to turn around and head for home. 

Our certified coaches have walkers and run/walkers who want to run start with a 2 minute walk/3minute run intervals for 30-40 minutes.

Then increase to 1 min. walk/4 minute run for 60 minutes for a while.  Helps to build back that endurance.

I'm sure Diva and her running wisdom would be better to listen to since I'm still basically a noob at all this.

But like the wise one said: 

Everytime it gets easier...keep it up 
Getting out the door is the hardest part, and taking a walk break isn't cheating.

That might be true...

from my experience the carbs are the killer.

As always...YMMV

I know I eat too many meals with bread and pasta in them.  That's the main thing.

That's why they'll be hard to cut out...  

Last night was 3 bean soup over Farfalle, tonight is turkey chili with penne, a few nights ago we had arrabiatta linguini...

I live in an Italian household.   At least my Papa makes the best salads on the face of the earth!

Stella.. 

That's how a friend mine finished her marathon.

She ran a mile, walked for a minute, ran a mile, walked for a minute, etc...

I just need to remember it's been a few years since I did my last tri, and I ain't 21 anymore.

The more carbs you eat the hungrier you get.

It's weird.

I've lost a ton of weight by cutting back on carbs. I feel better.

The chances of me running depend solely on how big the guy chasing me is.

Carbs.  That's all I've eaten today.      

Me giving up carbs would be like you giving up vodka.      

It'll never happen.  Maybe I should try to cut back...

Giving up carbs has allowed me to keep my vodka.

I even got rid of the citrus mixers to avoid the sugars.

The doctor doesn't believe I drink what I do.

I made a choice...and for 405 I ain't in bad shape.

B just told me I'm going to be an old hag in couple years.  

Cars and driveway finally clear.

[ducpainter]

What'd you hit him with?

[Ddan]

[ducpainter]

same to you

[Ddan]

I would have traded days with you today

[DesmoDiva]

What'd you hit him with?

Nothing...I just reminded him that he is waaaay older than me and will be grumpy old man long before I'm a hag.

Though I think he failed to remember that I cook 90% of the food he eats.

I amounted to absolutely squat.
