Re: It's spring. Have you started running yet? | | I was able to run outside a few times this past week. I'm not a big fan of the treadmill, so that was great.
Yesterday it snowed though, so I was back on the rat wheel.
I started with the C25K too. Now I run something like 2 miles 4x a week and 3 miles 1x a week. I think I will increase the distance this spring -- running outside is way more entertaining than staring at the treadmill display for half an hour.
__________________ "The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
