The Yellow Ones Don't Stop.

That's right. The yellow ones don't stop. Neither do the red, black, tan, white, and all the colors of the rainbow don't stop. I'm talking about cars AND bikes. Really black Mercedes? Did you really need to do that rolling stop then stop again then get pissed because I am crossing. Oh and you douche bag on the bike, you're not hip and you're not cool with little shorts and unwillingness to stop or obey the rules of the road but you want to share it. Enough people. If you are on a moving object, I'm most likely going to get my ass handed to me so please watch out for walkers/runners.

Any who, I am on the 4th stage of Run Your Butt Off. I am now running 4 minutes and walking 2 minutes with a 5 minute warm up. I run a total of 20 minutes now. I love this program because it's simple and doable. They say your run should not be that much faster than your walk. If you walk at a 3.5 mph pace, you should run at 4.5-5 mph so that you don't over do yourself. It's not necessary to sprint because then you're not building your stamina. Take your time and remember to follow your program. If you're doing Couch to 5k (which is brilliant), walk when it says walk, run when it says run. Do not run more or even walk more. If you follow these programs, it will happen. So often we blame the diet or the exercise for our failure. Well SURPRISE, if you dont' do the work or if you don't eat the food YOU WON'T LOSE WEIGHT. If you don't do the running the schedule, you will not be a runner. It is as simple as that. You do NOT have to run, just walk or bike or swim. Do anything to keep your body moving. I look around my school and see KIDS that are struggling to make it up the stairs. Do not yourself or your loved ones be that person. Take care of your body and it will take care of you.
