TODAY is the last day to sign up for the Fight for Air Walk/Run with me on June 4th, and still get the 20% discount on the registration (use the code EarlyBird20). (They have a walk, 5K, 10K, and half marathon so there is an option for any level.) For all the race info go HERE. I have created a Team Jamie, so if you want to join go HERE. I already have 6 other team members doing either the 5K or 10K, and might have two more join this afternoon. I would love to have more people on the team. Also, even if you can't do the race, there is still the option to make a donation. All the proceeds go to the American Lung Association. (BTW, had to give a little shout-out to my friend, Emily. She was the first to join Team Jamie and has, therefore, moved up my friend list to spot #1. Love ya, Em. ;) )
Better Health Article: Couch to 5K: For anyone contemplating doing a race, or just wanting to start running, this website has a lot of great tools to help you get started
QOTD Tuesday: (I'm keeping the same question up from yesterday since no one responded about it.) This is for my friend, Erin, who just found out her husband is losing his job soon. She is stressed out and her goal for this challenge has been to not drink any soda for 100 days. Because of the stress she has been feeling, her first thought is to drink soda. She doesn't want to and has done well so far in this challenge, but now she is really having a rough time not giving in. So, here is her question for us: How do you cope with major stresses while not giving in to your cravings (soda, binge, sweets, whatever.)

I roped Jake into doing the 10K with me on June 4th. Not sure if he's going to hate me or love me by the end of it, but I'm happy we get to do it together. This is Jake's first race, and hopefully he catches the running bug, or at least understand a little more why I enjoy it so much. I'm sure he will school me, and I hope he does. Can't wait! We are celebrating our 10-year anniversary that weekend, too, so it adds more meaning to us doing it together.
My rib is still hurting so I opted out of doing my normal weight class. Thought I would take a break from doing upper body this week to give my ribs a little time to heal. Instead I ran 3.5 miles on the treadmill. I felt really good my whole run, and even ran the last mile at a 10 minute pace, and finished out the last 1/10th at an 8:34 pace. I'm slowly coming back and it feels great! After my run I did lower body weights. My inner and outer thighs are going to hate me tomorrow. Tone. Tone. Tone. Love it!
As I walked into the gym this morning, I saw one of my cute nurses, Patty, who took care of me last summer when I was recovering from my lung surgery. All sorts of emotions came flooding back when I saw her. It reminded me of all the wonderful people I met during those few weeks. I thought about the day I found out about the tumor, and how quick everything went after that. Then I just thought how grateful I was that now I was walking into the gym, just 9 months later, and being able to do all that I have been doing. I'm really lucky.
My Comments to You:
Kale- I know all about losing muscle tone and totally get that. After my surgery last summer I weighed the same I do now, but my muscle was gone. I was jiggly everywhere and it was gross. That's why in my goal I'm not focusing so much on getting down to a particular number on the scale, but I'm focusing more on toning my body and getting down to a smaller size. Good luck with your goal. You're already doing so great and I know you will get to where you want to be!
Chandra- I love your idea of adding gum to our snack list. I definitely use my favorite (Extra, Polar Ice) as a snack when I'm starting to get the munchies in the afternoon. You can't go wrong with 5 calories. Thanks again for joining my team on June 4th. It's going to be awesome!

I'm still here and moving! I had my first day of CrossFit at my trainers new gym today and it was tough but I made it through. I look forward to getting better and better.
I'm also still tracking my food which is a record in itself. =P
I didn't comment on your last post because I really don't know what I do to cope with my stress. I guess I just vent and then get away from everyone and everything. I don't know that I have some magic stress reliever that's some healthy option for all to follow. In fact, stress is a huge stumbling block for me. Now that I think about it, I guess I just veg out in front of the TV and turn my mind off to the rest of the world. I wish working out was my big stress reliever because it would make it so much easier to want to do, but alas it is not!
I had another great running day today. Although I only went about 2.5 miles, I was able to keep my first mile at around 9:00, but unfortunately I felt pretty dead after that and had to slow it down after the first mile. I don't know what my total time was, but when I go running again, I'll try to time it and keep pushing myself. I've got some friends out here who are amazing runners and they recommended that I run 3x's a week, twice a day in order to prepare for the running multiple times a day during the HTC relay. It's going to be hard, but I am trying!
Was it my sister Patti or a different Patti? She works out there too about the same time as you.
I hope your side recovers soon!
