Wahey! I thought "gosh that's early" before remembering you're in a different time zone What will you do with your non-running day?

[Hidden in reply to icklegui]

well.....i am up early every day. I quit smoking five weeks ago. I have started gaining weight like crazy. I am 5'2" and have weighed 95 lbs for about twenty years. I niw weigh 116 lbs and i am freaking out. I am going to run two days in a row. i am itching to lose this weight. Most likely i will only speed walk. I won't do an entire run. But i like to be out looking at gardens. I will take a photo for you!!!

Aw!

I have to urge caution - you're very keen to run but it's not worth the increased injury risk as a new runner, of doing consecutive days. Your plan of speed walking sounds great! I've been told that it burns a similar amount of calories. I don't know why you're gaining weight but with the running, I find it's given me the mental fortitude to do other things like not snack unnecessarily! Good luck and keep posting

Well done Tabatha! Keep up the good work. Just remember to take it very slow and have a rest day inbetween your runs. I am an ex-smoker, so I understand the effects of stopping, but it does pass. Be patient with yourself, take it very slowly and enjoy your runs. ❤️
