I was feeling like complete poop yesterday, complete with a balloon belly and tight pants to go along with the crapola lunch I had and I got off my arse when I got home from work and went for a run :-) The first half was rough, but after I got good and warmed up I did 40ish minutes (10-15 was pure walking) and my Nike+ told me I ran 6.25 kms, but it's not calibrated, so I'm thinking more like 5.5.
And theeeennnnnnnn I went again today for another 40 minutes (15 of which was walking to warm up) and I feel GREAT! I just loooove what running does for me! It always picks me up of whatever funk I'm in. Even yesterday evening I bet I felt about 70% better from the balloon belly instantly.
I don't friggin care WHO tells me I "shouldn't" be running. I'm doing it because it's good for my soul and I'm registering for the Bluenose 5K again this year so whattaya think about that?? hmmmmm???
:-D

I say, YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!
I say "If it makes you happy, it can't be thatbad!"
Exercise always makes me feel better!
I think that no one knows your body better than you, so if you feel good, keep running. When/if it hurts, back off a bit, rest and then try again. I know you'll rock the Bluenose...is it a pretty route? I'm all about traveling for a race, but now I'm picky: I only want pretty routes!
H =)
I love running its easy to do and it doesn't take a lot of time up. You can leave your house for 15 minutes and be right back.
I run in 5K and 10K races as much as I can. They are fun and good to keep you motivated to run.
Great job!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know yourself what you can't and can do!
Go girl!!
Amen, I say if you know you can do it, go ahead! You know what makes you feel good, and running is such a high. Sometimes its all it takes to turn a craptastic day into a great one.
You DO rock.
Love from another Angie :)
Good for you!!
Awesome job on the runs. I've always wanted to be a runner but any time I try it just doesn't work out for me.
Yay! Good job lady :D
Why would someone tell you not to run? You're a smart chickie - if it's hurting you, you'll ease up! :)
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Could you hear me cheering for you all the way over there???????
I am so proud of you girl!
That's awesome Ang. Just do whatever feels good to you....you know your body and what you should and shouldn't be doing based on the way you feel, so don't worry about it!! You must feel fabulous!!

Hey, Sweets, run if it makes you happy! (I'm not "supposed" to run either, but can't stop myself. lol)
i think it AWESOME! i'm with you!
i don't like it when people tell me that running is hard on my body, bad for me, blah blah blah...it just makes ME FEEL GREAT!
I say HELLL YEAH!!!
As long as you listen to your body you should be fine!
Such an inspiration!
I HAVE TO GET RUNNING!! lol
The way I look at it is, if you can run then run. If it makes you happy then you should do what makes you happy. You are the only one who knows your body so your the only one that knows when to ease up if your in agony from the pain. Take is easy and one day at a time, even if you have to walk some of the way in the 5K at least you did it. Right? Slow and steady wins the race.
You can do it!
