Sometimes you just need to do it.
Finishing last is not the end of the world.
Not trying? Is far more disappointing.
Rainy Saturday reminded me why I'm going to get back out there soon.

A little holiday from running fat
Apologies for the delay in writing. There will be no activity in the next few days. The sick, the kids and the solo parenting are ruining my motivation. Will be back when the husband returns.

Logging activity: April 20, 2009
2km stroll in less than 25 minutes. Slightly less pitiful than last night.
30 weeks pregnant
Slightly over 250lbs
Got my water in today. Signed up for Weight Watchers online again. Stayed within my points. Both positives.
On the negative side, I didn't get in enough fruits and veggies. Didn't eat the right kind of food.
What are you doing?

Lose weight to help the planet
Lose weight to help the planet argue British researchers.
It's one small step towards making obesity something I can expect will cause me to be discriminated against. Not only is my weight problem hurting me, my family and my future, but now it's my fault that there's global warming.

2km stroll in less than 28 minutes. Pitiful. But nice to get my heart rate up a little.

Water challenge is going well. Week 1 complete. Stayed on track for 5 of the 7 days.

Running Advice on Weight Watchers
Just a couple of articles that Weight Watchers pushed out to me. Thought they might be helpful to others.
How do I move from running to walking? actually has some good advice. I think starting at two minutes would be too long for me, but everyone is different.
The bottom of Running 101 includes some suggestions on nice runs in Canada. I also liked this piece of advice, "Running is not sprinting. It is not done at a breathless, my-heart-is-going-to-explode-at-any-minute pace". So slow down and enjoy learning to run.

Advice for novice runners
A reasonably good article about getting back to running, or starting, while staying injury free from CTVNews.ca.
Advice for novice runners
I really liked their plan for starting. It's nice and easy. Nice and slow. Something just about anyone can do.
Week 1 - 1 minute run, 4 minute walk x 5 times
Week 2 - 2 minute run, 3 minute walk x 5 times
Week 3 - 3 minute run, 2 minute walk x 5 times
Week 4 - 4 minute run, 1 minute walk x 5 times
Week 5 - 5 minute run, 1 minute walk x 5 times
Maybe that's the plan for you.
