Week 4 starting..

So many people asked me why I just not go and TRY to do the 5K.
They don't quite understand it's not about the 5K.
It's about the journey. It's about self-improvement.
To prove that I AM capable of doing something for more than 2 or 3 weeks.
I can set a goal, choose the road, and STICK to it.
Week 4:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:

* Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
* Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds)
* Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
* Walk 1/4 mile (or 2-1/2 minutes)
* Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
* Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds)
* Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)

It's getting harder. But it's still pretty OK for my body. I just have to watch my speed, and my heart rate.. Oh, yeah, I've got to buy battery for that..
Gotta go.

2 years gone by...

So It's been almost 2 years since the last entry.
My backproblem was solved, it just needed time.
I'm a new-better-stronger person now, then I was that time.
I want to be an ironman next year.
So this time, no excuses!
I've done some running yesterday, I'm following this plan, starting with week 2 next week... I will not just try to be there, and do it, but simply I will make it. I am a runner. Already.

Still no

Okay, it still hurts.
I have no idea when it will stop.
But I will finish my first 5K. It's less then 5 weeks away. I'm pretty sure I will run-walk that. I don't really care about the time, as I was not able (and still not) to train properly. I just want to finish, and stick to my plan. I do less stressful things now to keep me fit (walk, cycle, swim, some workouts), but I will run again. It's a good lesson to me again.
I need some changes. Change of gears. You need some reason to wake up every day. I just turn to the other side, and keep sleeping.
And from my current favourite song:

Argh

Well, well, well.
I've not just went for a 25km walk 2 weeks ago, but I biked 58km yesterday, which are pretty dumb things, when you need to rest. Anyway, I give 2 rest weeks for my body. It got better, but I'm still not 100%. Maybe I have to miss the city run. :(

Soul : -Come on body I need you.
Body : -We need to suffer, because you ran again.
S : - But Body, you know running is good for us. Good for heart as well.
B : - I told you I need a holiday.
S : - It's been 3 weeks, this is ridicoulus, what do you want?
B : - I want to brake you, and feel my power, you are nothing. You and Mind can't do anything when I don't want to. I am your Pain. I am your God.
S : - What do you want me to do? Sing a nazi songs for you?
B : - I'm greater than nazis. I will destroy your life totally. MUHAHAHAHAHA.
S : - I know it's not you. It's just the evil Virus in you. I'm still strong, and you will never come over me. In fact I will beat you in running if I need to. But it would be better if we could work together. I know the Virus will leave you soon Body, and you'll be back to normal. You are a Survivor!!! I'm with ya! Love S.

I had to...

RUN. I really felt like, I just have to go out. I grabbed my very cool Nike socks, put on the favourite Saucony shoes, and go. I went for 2min run, 2min walk. I did it 3 times. Than after the walk, some U2 came on the mp3, and I thought, okay, I will just run, and don't look at the clock. The result? AMAZING.
I ran 1km in 6.00!!! And it was not fast or hard running. A pace where you can talk to someone... At the end I was a little bit out of air, but just a little bit. It was so GREAT. You can see from the previous post, that I was really afraid of the bus - coming with 7.30 min/km... Now I feel really good about it, and I think it's not impossible. It will be really hard, I need a lot of training, but I will have fun through the process, and the race as well. The 3,6km is coming in 1,5 month, I'm really looking forward to it.
Okay well, I won't do dumb things like today, I will stick to the training plan, but I just had to try what can I do. And I am pleased. And really happy. And that's just great!

The truth is...

... I can't run, I can't really do anything at the moment, I have some serious neuralgic pain in my back, oh ok, we don't have a word for it, but in english it's a pain in the intercostals. Pretty dumb. I mean I was here at home, and it didn't get better. Today I went shopping and I have to tell you I do feel better!! :)
I bought a sports bra, special socks, t-shirt, jeans.
So I guess I walked enough today. Not a training, but at least something. Serious traing begins next week, no matter how it hurts. I had enough.
I will try to put here what I did each week.
Half marathon in less than 180 days. AAAAAAAA.
I CAN.
