The end of day 6

So I went out with my husband to eat with friends. We left our children at our friends house with a babysitter and were gone 2 hours. Yummy food (as if there is non yummy food) at the Texas Roadhouse. I had Prime Rib with a salad and green beans. We came back and relieved (literally) the babysitter and I went for a run while they set up the games and drinks(water). Here's is the big tip of the day.....don't eat and run! That is the big tip. Apparently most people know this but me. So guess what, prime rib is not fun sloshing around in your belly while trying not to throw it back up. Delicious! But as it turns out I ran/walked 1.11miles. Yippee!!! I am so proud of myself for not giving up. I ran 21/2 minutes of the 20 it took. While that may not seem like a lot to some this is a huge step for me. I can not believe that after 4 days of exercise I am at this level. In the middle of the run, as usual, I was thinking that there is no way I will be able to run this half marathon. It always seems more do-able after the run when I feel good. I really do feel good about myself. I really didn't believe that this would help me feel good. I mean come on now over 200lbs should not be this easy to run/walk., But amazingly it really is. I think Jeff Galloway is fabulous. But he is skinny and probably has not seen anyone my size take on his program. Drink lots of water and don't eat a heavy meal before you go.....so on that note.......i got nothin.......Bye
Oops, I forgot to say that I kind of hurt my ankle. It only hurt when I was actually running. I wonder if it is just the weight or if I am on the verge of an injury. My sister says not to run when it hurts. I will keep that in mind but at the same time I dont want my subconscious to fake pain just to keep from running. Ya know, my brain has its own way of sabotaging our progress. BYE
