How far is a half marathon? I love walking and can’t wait to start jogging next! Thanks for your comment

I have been trying to get back into walking, which is weird because I walked a half marathon last summer which was a ton of fun! So I know I can do it, it’s just a matter of finding the motivation to get going *sigh*

Anyways, I love reading about your journey and keep up the good work. You can definitely do the 5K easy

Thanks Erin. I definitely started small when it comes to exercising – for the longest time I wasn’t (couldn’t) doing anything other than my Wii Fit Plus. This walking thing came just out of the blue and then the whole having an urge to run – I have NO clue where that’s coming from! LOL

I never thought of it like that before (if you can do it in a week you can do it in a day)! Thanks for sharing that

Thanks Angie! I’ll be getting fit on Tuesday for some shoes. It’s going to be weird. I’m not used to getting fit for shoes. I actually am not sure that I’ve ever had it done – well except as a child. lol

20 minutes on the elliptical is great! I have a love/hate relationship with ellipticals. LOL

When I first started my journey in September ’08, I started small – go for a walk, use the ball to do some exercises along with a DVD, jump on a rebounder. Eventually, I started walking more, using the elliptical, and strength training – most of this started when I began working w/ my trainer. Eventually, I began running. Start small and work your way up – you’re well on your way, Tishia!

re: mileage

I once had a runner tell me that if you can do it in a week, then you can do it in a day. You walked 6 miles in two days? Then you’ll definitely be ready for the 5k!

Oh yea, you know me, I love walking! But jogging/running is quite the struggle for me. I'm on week 6 of running and I'm still doing the 1:3 intervals which is run/jog one minute and walk 3 minutes. I have done a ton of research on running because we are doing the 1/2 marathon portion of the Reggae Marathon (13.1 miles). At this time, I cannot see myself doing it but hopefully I'll get there. I have a long way to go and a lot of training ahead of me up until Dec. that is for sure. As mentioned on your Facebook page, being fit for a good pair of running (not walking) shoes is the best investment you could make for yourself. Running shoes are more flexible and are actually lighter than heavy and stiff walking shoes. If you can't get a running shoe at this time, I wouldn't start jogging yet because you could really hurt yourself. Happy walking! I can't wait to hear about your 5k as I'll be training for one here soon myself. I would ultimately like to get in 2 5k's before the 1/2 marathon. So proud of you for walking 2 days so far. Keep up the great work! .-= Angie (Losing It and Loving It)´s last blog ..Push it, push it good! =-.

It's great what you done. I don't walk. I only walk to go to work, maybe a 10-15 minutes fast. But last month I bought an elliptical and I do it each day. 10 minutes each day. But yesterday and tonight I did 20 minutes. I could take the time to walk but I don't like to walk alone and if I walk with my son and my boyfriend, my son will be too slow for us. .-= Scorpio Woman´s last blog ..Twice-Baked Potatoes 2 Ways =-.
