Azatol Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I was a bit nervous. 36 degrees F out. My coldest outing yet and a substantial increase from 50/50 ruh/walk to 66/33. I'm surprised how smooth it went. When she said begin your cool down my tank was surprisingly not empty. Yay! Never got cold btw Healthylife4me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azatol Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 W4D2 down. Deided to take a stroll down the Ohio River front on the pedestrian path today in the direction I've never been. I made an interesrting dfiscovery. HILLS! THis was quite difficult and really really burned in the calves. Based on weight lifting experience, I think i pushed myself beyond the safe point and think I'll veer away from hills of that magnitude(159 foot rise accoiding to run keeper) until I've completed the program. Fortunately no injury ( fom that ). Naturally an hour later I blew my shoulder out on a lift. I can still run though<G> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azatol Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Week 4 is in the books. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I felt confident in my ability to complete it so I upped my pace some and pushed a bit. Hoping to help get a stamina jump start for next week.Time to knock it up a notch with W5D1 on Xmas day. I think I'm ready for week 5 but D3 is still haunting me, HAHA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timb113 Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Azatol, Great job so far. The program does an amazing job of having you ready to take the next step, and W5D3 was something I was dreading for about three weeks leading up to it, but it's also the most accomplished feeling I've had in the running I've done over the past six months. I felt more proud of finishing that 20 minutes than I did my first 5K. It's a huge milestone, and one that I will not forget. Keep up the good work!

Azatol Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Wow. I kinda just disappeared huh? About a week ago I was banned from the forums. I've been writing and begging Zen folks to tell me what I did wrong but alas, most of them were gone for the holiday ( oops ). Today, someone finally got to my issue reviewed my posts and rsponded. Turns out I've not been a bad boy at all. The ban was a mistake. I theorize this happened when I reported a spam post. I think they banned me not the spammer LOL. Glad to be back and cleared of the ban. it was a real morale crusher. Fortunately, my resolve is stronger than ever this week...... Yesterday, I did W5D3 and knocked it out of the park. Took a nice slow comfortable pace and dug in for the long haul. Before I know it, I'm being told to walk. Still had some gas left in the tank. I now have zero doubt whatsoever that I can complete this program and begin working on increasing my pace. 5 weeks of stress over nothing LOL. Piece of cake and a pleasure at that. Now if my knees and ankles can just hold up, I'm golden. They are pretty solid. Lifting helped me there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azatol Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 W6D1 down. Piece of cake. Explored a new park to me. They have a mile long shale path as wide as a streeet lane. Was a real pleasure. I feel like after finishing W5D3 the rest of the program will be smooth sailing. Healthylife4me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoseWithin~Shannon Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Wow congrats Azatol! Your progress is inspiring... I look forward to sharing similar successes! And welcome back to the forum, (I would have been crushed too. Happy to hear it was a mistake)! I look forward to reading further updates, and cheering you on!

KellyAnn Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hey Azatol, Welcome back. There were some posts from your name that were total spam, but then we saw your posts that were great too. I emailed Zen and asked them to look into it as it was hard to tell which was spam and which was not. Glad to see you back and kicking some butt. Love you on here. I really like your posts. You too Shannon. These forums rock. Happy running everyone. Azatol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened the exact day I clicked report on those spam posts in general. /boggle. Glad you folks figured out that I'm legit and let me back into the playground. My motivation is to run and run and run, and run <G> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hi Azatol, Could have been your reported spam post too, when I look ion the Moderator edit report section, when I reported a spammer, it also looked like I was the spammer. No worries and you are back, Love it. Thanks for your enthusiasm, very nice on here. Happy Running! Azatol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azatol Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I was a bad boy today. Work was horrid. This is my rough time of year. I went to Plaet Fitness just to walk 30 mins to finish out my 10k steps for the day and blow off some steam. My legs had a completely different plan. So, um, 30 minutes later, having run most of it including some sprinting and my legs arer shot. I could cook an egg on my quads right now HAHA. I guess tomorrow's run and workout are officially moved to Sunday this week <G> Hmmm. Interesting how my life changed in 2014. Back in the day, an asccident men i tore up an entire Little Ceasars pizza. Now an accident is I ran? Heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Ha ha Azatol. Youch. Did you heal ok? Egg on the thigh??? Lol. You are doing great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azatol Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Ha ha Azatol. Youch. Did you heal ok? Egg on the thigh??? Lol. You are doing great. Oh I didn't hurt myself. My shoulder is blown but it's from bench and overhead push presses but it doesn't prevent me from running. I'm always inured somewhere on the upper body. is the life of a lifter when you lift heavy and aren't in your 20s (by many years). I just pushed myself hard in blowing off steam. My legs feel like gumby after he got run over by a truck. I'll take tomorrow off to heal, run Sunday and still have my 3 workouts this week. I never miss one. I do have a very cold week coming up. Well, the 20s are very cold to me. Gonna see how I fare. Will join the YMCA for a month to use the indoor tracxk if I have to but I will run and it won't be on a treadmill.

Timb113 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Azatol, that's a great way to burn off steam. I'm sure you can see big differences in your fitness and health having started to make those correct choices. Keep it up! Azatol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
