Re: Emi inspired running/workout

So earlier today, as I was walking back to my car after work (about a 3 minute leisurely walk), I decided, for no particular reason, that I was going to sprint the distance instead.* Hah that's cool, I too have felt the urge to sprint home a few times from my car after work, and yes it feels awesom...

Re: Emi inspired running/workout

Haha, cool story. I actually came here cause something similar just happened to me. I was at a garage sale down the street from my house, and I'd never met the lady who was having it, but she was like "Hey I've seen you running lately, you've done pretty well for yourself." and we talked f...

Re: Emi inspired running/workout

Did week 6 day 2 again, much better this time. Today I weighed myself again. 300.8 lbs :D soooooooooooo close, I was about 320 when I started this. I don't remember the last time I was under 300. Can't wait! I've also been doing a few pushups, I think I'll try the program doing the kneeling type for...

Re: Emi inspired running/workout

mmm, today (week 6 day 2) was the first day I don't really feel like I completed the workout. I only ended up running 1 mile and then stopping. Looking back, I think I forgot to drink enough water beforehand. And it was so windy that the wind was blowing my pants down. :oops: :lol: I'll probably rep...

Re: Emi inspired running/workout

Awesome dude, good luck.

but isn't this a 9 week program? Or are you using a different chart?


Anyway I did week 5 day 3, it went great. In fact it felt a little too easy. Next week I'll work on picking up the pace. :)

Re: Emi inspired running/workout

Week 5 day 2, I'm officially past the halfway point. :) Today I ran on the same path I did during week 1. I saw the goals I used to set back then, like "run to the next lamppost then start walking" or "get to the end of the sidewalk" and remembered how tired I was at those points...

Re: Emi inspired running/workout

Just did day 1 of week 5, I'm looking forward to seeing how I do at the 21 minute run at the end.... In school I could never even run 12 minutes for the fitness tests :roll: but now I'm ready. Sounds like I'm one of the lucky ones as far as injuries go. :( So far. I've been going barefoot, since I n...

Re: Emi inspired running/workout

Week 4 complete :D Since I started exercising/eating better, I've lost about 15 pounds. Today I dug deep into my dresser and pulled out some old shirts that I haven't worn since like junior high. Some of them actually kind of fit :lol: Ain't a bad idea to got to the doctor so he can give you advice ...

Re: Emi inspired running/workout

Today when I opened the door to go outside for the run, I felt a gust of WARM air. :shock:
WOW, somehow it's 69 degrees here. Yesterday was in the 30s.

I still have my doubts about week 4, but we'll see.


Hope you guys get better soon. that sucks

Re: KS Quips Game

To me, each path portrayed a different type of relationship: Lilly - Wife Hanako - Daughter Emi - Friend Shizune - Co-worker Rin - Some acquaintance you met once but you didn't really get along and then lost touch when she moved away to art school Boner ratings: Lilly - 10/10 Hanako - 7/10 :twisted:...

Re: Emi inspired running/workout

Today on my run I saw a sign for a 5k in my town at the end of April, which pretty conveniently coincides with the end of the running program, so I guess that's gonna be my goal. :) Man it feels so nice to be outside haha. After the run, it felt like a shame to just go inside and sit on the computer...

Re: Emi inspired running/workout

Week 2 complete 8) Week 3 doesn't look so bad, but week 4 looks like a huge step up from what we've been doing. For anyone who's gotten to week 4 already... is it as tough as it looks? Or does something happen between week 3 and 4 that makes your body just " get it "? I've been eating a bi...

Re: Emi inspired running/workout

My first run of week 2 felt good, it was tough but I pushed through it. Now, though, it suddenly got really cold and snowed a lot. I'll probably wait til sunday to run again, since it's supposed to warm up a little. Also, going with the armband idea, I got some supplies and am planning to make one f...
