Last Thursday I decided to bite the bullet and get back out on the trail. My Fibromyalgia was getting worse, I was a constant couch potato and had lost my strength. It is time to get moving!
Today was the third day, I'm so happy to be back and I already notice the health benefits of running!
I'm not a sore and my mental state is much improved!
This is a very easy plan to start building my base miles! It starts with a 5 min warmup, then 20 min walk/jog followed by a 5 min cool down. I'm going to stick to this plan for the next few weeks and see where it takes me.
I'm excited and I plan to run the EERIE-ERIE fun 5k in October. Hopefully I can talk two of my Grandkiddo's to join me!

I tried the C25k but, after the second week, it got so hot and humid I just couldn't take the heat. Now that summer is winding down, I'm acclimated. LOL I will probably start it up again soon. To be honest, week 3 intimidated me. I started the Synergy workout today. It's an eight week commitment. Phil Campbell wrote the book on it and it's perfect for those of us over 50. I noticed long ago that getting oxygen running through my body improved my fibromyalgia. But then, I'm one of the lucky ones in that mine is not severe.

DeleteI think I'm lucky too, just noticed an increase in the generalized pain the last few months. I will look into the Synergy workout!
Good for you! Like Nike says: Just Do It!!

PS - Mom did a long run today but we cannot run with our peeps until our growth plates close at 18 months.
