Week 17 -- Almost there, kind of

Weight loss this week: -1

Weight loss so far: -6

I only got to work out once this week again, but it was a really good work out. I was on the treadmill for 40 minutes, and I jogged 22 minutes of that. Unfortunately, I am still having to break up the jogging a lot. I'll do 5 minutes jogging, 3 walking, 8 minutes jogging, 3 walking, and so on. I can do that for a long time. I just have a really hard time doing a straight set of jogging all in a row.

I really wanted to jog the whole 2 mile race this week, but I don't think it's going to happen. I'll be really happy if I get jog 1 mile in a row. I am sure that I can jog most of it. And I know that no matter how much I walk, I will jog over the finish line! A friend will be doing it with me. She's very in shape, but she's never done a race either, so that will help me. I won't feel so much like a fish out of water.

I feel kind of silly making a big deal out of a 2 mile race, especially since my goal was a 3 mile race, and I probably won't even jog the whole thing. But it's a big deal to me. I've put a lot of work into this. I'm pumped! Six days to go!
