Surya's Weight Loss :)

Yes... I know I haven't posted in ages!!! Its been unfortunate, I didn't have access to the net and all, so for a while I recorded my movements on my comp (here they are), after that I just got bored and fed-up! So, anyway, I continued my running programs till about 25th July, and then fell off the wagon 
Then I realised the 5k race is a bit too close for comfort (1st November), and I started running again about 3 days back. I did 3.2kms the first day and 3.6 the next, which was PRETTY awesome considering I had been out of touch for nearly a MONTH!! So I'm back now... and I intend to run 4 days a week and dance 2 days week till I bounce my way into my goal weight!! I ALSO intend to finish the 5k at a respectable time... say about 35mins...
I'll be updating regularly now... So pray with me
2nd July
3mins jog, 1.5mins walk, 5mins jog, 2.5mins walk, 3mins jog, 1.5mins walk, 5mins jog
3rd July
5km walk/jog
I tried to see how long I could run at a stretch yet. I managed a solid 8mins the first time, and 5.5mins the second. How AWESOME is that?? =)
4th July
5mins jog, 3mins walk, 5mins jog, 3mins walk, 5mins jog
5min runs feel easy now… so this one was not a problem at all.
7th July
1min walk, 5mins jog(36mins in all)
Torturous… By the time I reached my second-last run, I was ready to just lie down there on the road. The last 5mins were HORRIBLE, I was just praying I don’t collapse and die. I slowed down lots, but time just went so slowly. And that’s all the more reason I felt awesome about finishing it!
8th July
8mins jog, 5mins walk, 8mins jog
Pretty easy, because I already knew I could do 8mins, plus I got a nice long breather of 5mins in between. Too good to be true, actually, but the real test is the 20mins run!!
9th July
1min walk, 5mins jog(36mins in all)
Maybe it was psychological, but this one felt far easier than the previous day’s(at the same pace). Whatever, I managed fine. Going great… I’m feeling prouder and prouder of myself! =)
10th July
20mins jog
AAAHHHH!! The big one! I never imagined I’d be able to do this… but I did! I was like HOW can anyone go from 8mins to 20mins in one jump? Now I know… CAUSE I DID IT!!! I did NOT feel like collapsing even at the very end, haha, and I did NOT want to lie down right there! Yayyy!! I ran a whole 2.6kms… maybe it’s a little slow(this speed brings my 5k time to just below 40mins)… but whatever man… I DID IT!! Yayyy!!!
13th July
1min walk, 6mins jog(35mins in all)
Whoa… This was close to torture. I guess that was because of the 2 day break. I started out really enthusiastic, and covered almost a km in 7mins(1min walk and 6mins jog). So, according to calculations, I should’ve finished nearly 5kms in 35mins. I managed somewhere around 4.1 to 4.2kms. Not bad, but I was EXHAUSTED at the end and did REALLY slow jogging! Hope the next few workouts are easy!!

Hello Surya,
Happy to see you're back, and going strong!! WoW Congratulations with keeping the running up! I am soo proud of your accomplishments thus far!!! Wicked! Maybe I should get my head on straight it's been lagging and do a couch to 5 k program, and get some pod casts as well!!! That would be amazing. I actually did want to run a 5 k this fall, and it is coming up fast.
You GO GIRL!!!
