Monday - Fencing 2.5 hours

Tuesday - TRX 1 hour

Wedensday - Fencing 2 hours

Thursday - rest

Friday - Personal trainer 1 hour

Saturday - probably a good bit of walking once we get off the plane in Jamaica

Sunday - the resort has a kick-ass gym and offers classes so I'm sure I'll find something.

Have a great week everyone!

I am proud I finished. I did it because I committed to my family I would do the run with them. I fence 4-5 hours a week and work with a trainer as well. Thanks.

Topic: I want to run but fear the start.....

I am at 206 lbs down from 270 since Dec 13th of last year and I want to start jogging / running. I did in high school, but even though I have lost 64 lbs since Dec 13th and 184 since my all time highest in May 2006 at RNY surgery, I have a lot of loose skin and material on sides of my rib cage and lower stomach that jiggles to the point of pain. I know why you women wear a sports bra now.

I have bought some compression shirts and underwear the help some but how do I slowly introduce jogging or running? I downloaded the Couch to 5K app and it seems to be a good app. I don't want to suffer an injury and I think that 206 is not unreasonable to jog...

Thoughts,

Jeff W Waldrop

you tried it and found that is not your thing. Just find something that you enjoy. Be proud that you finished it

To all of you that run, wow. I did a 5k today and kept wondering when the fun was that all of the runners says happens. I was miserable for all 3.1 miles. Despite unicorns throwing colored powder at me.

Y'all can keep your running. The next time I run is going to be if something deadly is chasing me.
