About Chunkygirlsmarathon

I am a lifetime chunky girl. And I want to run a marathon. This blog is to see if it can be done. All the books out there, even the ones for non runners are for skinny people. This will be my training log, expect photos, videos, and all my thoughts along the way. Thanks for tuning in.

Sore but Feeling Good!

I've worked out everyday for almost a week straight!
I feel both strong and sore! I can run faster, lift more and push myself a lot harder than I thought possible but I am paying for it. I thought it would be a good idea to start out with some hard workouts. I want to lead into running but I would like to start running as a stronger person rather than starting over again weak. The way I've decided to do this is by attending a class every day of the week. After each class spending another 35-45 mins on the treadmill doing a walk/run sesh. So far I've gone to a few spin classes and a few cardio lift classes. They have been so painful. But I feel so strong when I can get on the treadmill afterwards and push myself a little further. As a result I have a hard time walking after I've been sitting for a while. For a few days my complaint was that it HURT to EXIST. And most days I need a nap midday. BUT on the flip side. I have alot of energy when I'm interacting with folks. I'm forced to spend more of my day moving since if I sit to long I get sore and stiff. And I feel SO HAPPY pretty much for the entire day. Gotta love those endorphins. SO HERES TO A NEAR Week of work outs and a lot of pain!
