My former college was having their annual 5K. I thought it\u00a0would be so fun to go back and run around my old stomping grounds with some old friends. So I started my Couch to 5K training program. And was doing pretty well until I got pregnant and my doc told me no more exercise since I have a few high risk issues.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">I ended up miscarrying the twins I was pregnant with. (not because of the running) And found myself with a pregnancy pouch and no baby to look forward to. I will be honest, this did not motivate me to get back to it. Did I mention I don&#8217;t like\u00a0to run?<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">I kind of wallowed in my exercise lull for awhile. Made some bad eating choices. (the emotional eater came out in force for a bit). Eventually, I made myself start doing the right things again. Making good food choices most of the time and starting\u00a0my quick \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.burstclub.com\/\">Burst Club Workouts<\/a> again at home.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waterwayshealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Shaklee-Cares1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waterwayshealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Shaklee-Cares1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">And then another 5K opportunity came about. It is happening Saturday, August 16 in Long Beach, CA during the annual Shaklee Global Conference,\u00a0which I was already going to. And it is a\u00a0benefit run for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shakleecares.org\/\">Shaklee Cares<\/a>, which is a non-profit organization who donates to relief efforts of communities affected by natural disasters.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waterwayshealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/shaklee-fun-run-tshirt_sample-logo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waterwayshealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/shaklee-fun-run-tshirt_sample-logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"278\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">At first I\u00a0wasn&#8217;t sure. Could I get back on THAT horse again? Do I really want to? But everyone&#8217;s doing it, the little voice in the back of my head told me. How would I feel on race day if I\u00a0wasn&#8217;t a part of it? And there was a free Shakee T-shirt at stake. I really wanted that T-Shirt. lol<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waterwayshealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/running.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waterwayshealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/running.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"135\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">So I signed up, laced up my running shoes and got to it. I also recently got my iPhone so I put the #c25k app on it and off I went. I figured I could skip the first week since I was already a week behind in training and had already done it. I realized pretty fast that I wished I would have started with week 1 as I\u00a0wasn&#8217;t in the same shape I had been in 9 months ago! lol If you&#8217;re not familiar, the couch to 5k program is great for easing you into running.

I hardly get sick and when I do it passes fast. And I\u00a0haven&#8217;t used an inhaler in at least a few YEARS!! I don&#8217;t need it when I run, which to be honest was one of my\u00a0biggest concerns when I started this since I no longer had one. And a nice benefit from this is I have finally gotten my baby weight from my miscarriage to go down.

Not just physically but also mentally! My mood is better. My outlook is better. I have more energy. Exercise makes you feel better overall\u00a0because it releases\u00a0endorphins into your blood that are natural mood enhancers. So even if you are not a runner, like you physically cannot run for some reason, then try walking. Or whatever your body can do now and set a goal to\u00a0increase that. you can do it! you just have to have the courage to start.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waterwayshealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/shaklee-walk-mood.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waterwayshealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/shaklee-walk-mood.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #b45f06; font-size: large;\">Now my regiment is drinking about 8 oz of Shaklee&#8217;s hydration drink Performance before my run. (really helps in the Mississippi heat and humidity!) And drinking the same after. I don&#8217;t feel like I need an inhaler, and for the most part, the run isn&#8217;t too bad for me. I always feel great after (it is done\u00a0after all!) and have absolutely NO cramping or sloshing around during my run!!!
