diary of a non-jogger - days 2 & 3 + driving again?

My OCD need to keep a schedule for this was thrown out the window after coming down with whatever it was I have come down with. So much for doing this Mon-Wed-Fri! Yesterday the dizziness and nausea finally went away long enough for me to decide I wanted to try adding jogging to the walk again. So I did.Day 2 -- 3.32km / 42m 11s / 216 calories burnedWhen I tried the official C25K app earlier in the week it turned out that the spot I started to "jog" with Annie last year was almost at the exact point the 5 minute warm-up ends and the 1 minute of jogging began. The block that I "jogged" with Annie fell almost exactly in the 1 minute jogging time. Turns out I was doing this all on  my own without even knowing it! So I didn't turn on the C25K app this time, I just set Runkeeper to Walking and put it away in my pocket. I knew that I would need more than a 90 second walking break between jogging bits, so I walked until I felt ok enough to start to run (which at the start was around 90 seconds) and I didn't worry about the "time" this time I just ran and tried to go *just to the next light*. My walking breaks were probably 3-4 minutes long at times, but I got in at least 5 minutes of jogging before I felt like I couldn't breathe, I would throw up or my calves would break in two. I did the jogging parts for as often as I could do them while feeling comfortable (plus a little bit more). This might not be the way professionals will tell you to do it, but I know my body pretty darn well and I am more comfortable listening to it with when I need to run and when I need to walk. So in my 42 minutes I got 5 jogging ones. I'm ok with that.Day 3 -- 3.26km / 40m 06s / 207 calories burnedToday I actually FELT like going out, which is odd since we went out last evening! But it wasn't raining and I thought, "Why not? I feel like RUNNING!" Plus I discovered that you can make your own schedule for notices on Runkeeper and I set up a C25K-ish sort of schedule. 5 minute walk, 1 minute FAST (jog), 2:30 minutes STEADY (walk) and I can repeat that until a 5 minute cool down walk. I wasn't sure how many times to repeat (I suck at math) so I guessed 10. Since we only got 5 jogs in there I don't know how well we really did, but when I stopped it at the house this time we were supposed to be on the last 1 min jog. I have adjusted it to repeat 8 times and I'll see how that goes. Of course half way through it went from being overcast to FREEZING RAIN whipping in our faces. By this point my shins were in the BAD PAIN category (not to be confused with the GOOD PAIN one). I knew I couldn't jog anymore and we were 3/4 of the way home so we walked it - fast! (Well as fast as I could go with a leg that made me nauseous when I used it.) Again, I got 5 solid 1 minute jogging bouts in there and for me, I am proud of that. The first two legs were actually easy this time. I didn't feel winded or like I was going to die after the first minute was up. That surprised me because only yesterday I DID. That 3rd minute was a doozy though and I was surprised I could make it to minute 5 of jogging. I was more than happy to walk the rest of the way!I start and stop the app once we leave the stairs in front. Depending on when I start it is why the Kms are different. It's not  by a lot, so I think this is pretty accurate. I of course have the Activity set to WALKING on the app because I don't feel like I can call it RUNNING just yet. ;)Shawn has been great in jogging along with me. Of course he and Jinx are way up ahead by the time the minute is up. His slow jog is more like a sprint for me. My slow jog is a fast walk for him. ;) Jinx just wants to BOUND! YAY! so Shawn spends a lot of his jogging time trying to reign him in. ha! I find it more motivational to have him along with me, also safer. I don't think they've caught the rapist that's been around for the last 2 years yet in our town and there's no way I want to be out there alone.If you have an iPhone and you have the Runkeeper app (it's FREE!) feel free to add me to your Street Team. If you're just curious about my progress you can see it here. (I think you can see it without being a member?) It also posts to Facebook and Twitter (sorry if you hate when people use applications on those things... I do too, but I sort of like the encouragement I get on FB when I post my update!) so you can follow along there.----In other news, last night I not only did the jogging I also drove home from the grocery store near by (Loblaws - for those of you familiar with the area). I know it was only a 10 minute drive, but I did it with no anxiety (until I got to the drive way, I hate trying to turn into our driveway!). In fact the whole thing felt natural for the first time. I wasn't over thinking anything and I wasn't too nervous about idiots on the road causing me trouble. I didn't even panic all that much when I was coming to a full stop at stop signs and having people behind me have to stop. (Why do Montrealers have to roll through stops? Argh!) I plan on driving myself (with Shawn) over to choir practice at the church in about 45 minutes from now. The freezing rain has stopped enough to make me feel safer (who knows what the weather will be in 45 minutes though? It's been weird today.) Shawn and I are too habitual in going to our regular spots in the car - him in the driver seat, me in the passenger seat. I'll never be able to get my driver's license if we don't make an effort to put me behind the wheel. I won't volunteer and he won't think to offer. So I'm trying to break that habit. Plus, since it felt so normal to be driving last evening I want to just get in the car and go again, while I'm on that positive path. It's been 7 years since I got this stupid permit and this year when I renew it (May 4) I want to say "Yes, I'll book my driving test today" to the lady behind the counter.Jogging and driving. Those are my goals for this summer! Think I can do it?
