Went Jogging..

Wow... I'll have to work on that... I went prob a half mile jogging then walking etc... I'm pooped.

Try Couch to 5K (google C25K and it should come up). It starts you off slowly and then builds you up to running for 30 minutes straight.

I'll do that. I just looked in the mirror and got motivation LOL.

I haven't been running in a while, longest I can go now though is about 10 minutes straight on a treadmill
running out in the real world is a bit more tough
If I got back into running maybe I can build some better endurance

See, I think it's harder on the treadmill b/c it's harder to fiddle w/ adjusting the speed whereas out in the real world I control my pace, not the machine. Everyone tells me once you get used to running it's addictive. I think they're full of shit.

:homo: I think running sucks. I can't run to save my life.

I don't run in public because no one wants/needs to see me running :eek

I have a thing about running in public, too. I tried going running w/ Jersey once and I ended up wussing out. Of course it wasn't a good choice to try to go running after doing 60 minutes on the elliptical, either, but still.

I can't do running in public, I need to get a treadmill.

It's sad though, it's like who cares what anyone thinks?? I wish I could go to a gym, I have free access to my university gym and I don't go out of fear.

:homo: I easily get bored and give up easily too. Outside, I have more control of my pace while enjoying nature

I agree :nod: Some experts say, it has something to do with the endorphins that is produced when one is able to reach that exercising capability to keep on exercising. Imo, we still need lots of psychological motivation too besides the being high feeling from endorphin

I used to feel that way, however I got used to it. When you have your shades, cap and good music on, you'll not mind any of the other people staring at you. Think of it that they're seeing a beautiful lady ( which is true) highly motivated and disciplined to exercise. :clap

Yanno, it's funny b/c there's a weight loss website that I post on and there was one girl who was MORTIFIED b/c a thin woman approached her in the park and told her how she had seen her out jogging and wanted to tell her that she was doing really well. Somehow she took that and turned it into an insult and said that if she wasn't heavyset the woman wouldn't have approached her. I just don't get it, LOL

L0L. I dont get it too. She should be grateful someone commended her. I guess she must have thought it was a reverse psychology thing where she thought maybe that the thin girl is insulting her that she will never be as thin as her. She must have quite a low self esteem to think that eh :dunno

I have learned from that website that different people will react differently when it comes to their weightloss or fitness level. Now me personally, I would be mortified if someone mentioned that I was out of breath while running or something like that, but aside from that it wouldn't bother me. I have a thread somewhere in General Discussion about it, but there were several people that were upset about people telling them "I"m proud of you" in regards to their weight loss. Some of them took it as people trying to take credit for their weightloss. *shrugs*

Well as they say one of the 3 things not to talk about or comment on is the weight of a woman so I guess it goes with that *confused*

Some people are much more sensitive than others that i may have to agree.

So from now on, we shouldn't also commend the participants of the Exercise challenge in their achievements as some might take it differently? :unsure:

It really made me think twice about it after that conversation. I mean, I would feel absolutely horrible if I tried to compliment someone and they took it as an insult or some kind of personal dig. I've tried to at least tell people now "you should be proud" instead of "I"m proud of you." It's a shame, though, that our minds can be so warped that we can take a nice compliment and turn it in to something negative.

Wtf happened?
