I Was Running Everyday for a Month, See What Happened to My Body

It all started when a friend invited me to do a 5k with him – that’s about 3 miles. Doesn’t sound like much, but it’s a lot when you’re in your late twenties and haven’t run since gym class back in school. Not to mention the barely-there energy and weight gain that adulthood seemed to hit me with. Anyway, I had a month to get ready. How did I do it? The short answer is, baby steps! Of course, you should watch what you eat, stay hydrated, and train slowly but surely. After getting myself a new pair of running shoes, my journey began. I kept a daily log of my progress along the way. What about you? Are you ready to lace up your shoes and start running?

Foods that fuel running include bananas, oats, peanut butter, broccoli, plain yogurt, dark chocolate, whole grain pasta, potatoes, and coffee. Sore today too after that insane gym sesh. I guess that’s just gonna be a regular thing for the next month. My trainer suggested cycling as cross-training, so I went on a 3-mile bike ride. My energy levels are through the roof! I no longer crave afternoon naps. I weighed myself today, and I’m down 5 pounds! I’m convinced jogging is the fastest way to lose weight. I jogged for 10 solid minutes today and didn’t struggle at all! I’m getting there! My trainer told me to be extra careful to stay hydrated. He said to divide my body weight in half, and then drink an ounce per pound. I guess exercise improves your complexion because it boosts blood circulation. My trainer showed me how to use a tennis ball to massage any problem areas. I do it to the bottoms of my feet, too. Listening to music while jogging helps the time go a lot faster. Lots of bananas. I’m told the potassium will help balance the electrolytes I lose on longer runs. I think my training program must’ve been just right because the run was relatively easy and enjoyable. I can’t wait to sign up for my next race!
