Three weeks ago I took up cross country skiing. I have really enjoyed it. I ski about 60 minutes each time, sometimes more, usually 3-4 kms, but sometimes up to 8km. Soon as the snow melts (I live in Siberia) I'm going to take up running ! I haven't run since high school! Can't believe I have made such a difference in my life that I can do that again!!!
I haven't shown any weight loss these last three weeks, but I have a feeling Monday is going to be the day. I can feel my new jeans aren't as tight as when I bought them :) Actually, truthfully I have been kinda in a stuck place since, well, new years. That's why I decided to kick up the exercise. I have heard it takes a few weeks for a serious change in exercise to show up on the scales, what with all the sore muscles and stuff.
So, wish me luck for Monday. I think that the dry spell is over and this is my week. Even if its not, I have non-number focused goals and I am heading for those!!
My husband and I have decided to take running seriously. He has all the goals fined tuned and scheduled. (I can't remember them all that well!) I know that 10k is the goal by the end of summer (September?) and the ultimate goal is a marathon!! WOW, I said that. Reckon it will take 5 years to get there...
