interview. Hope you enjoyed this new episode

of Healthy Living with Crazy Fitness Guy. Thanks

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:36.159
for coming on here, Patricia. Thank you for having

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:46.620
me. Before we get started, I was curious, what

00:01:46.620 --> 00:01:52.859
made you want to start running in the first place?

00:01:54.459 --> 00:02:00.180
Well, I started running because my oncologist

00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:05.790
said that I needed to do at least 20 minutes

00:02:05.790 --> 00:02:09.370
of cardio exercise per day. Now, he said like

00:02:09.370 --> 00:02:12.370
Jane Fonda, which I thought was funny. That's

00:02:12.370 --> 00:02:16.810
just showing our age. But I started by walking,

00:02:16.909 --> 00:02:22.009
and then walking wasn't enough cardio. Eventually,

00:02:22.090 --> 00:02:25.990
I sort of habituated to the walking, and it eventually

00:02:25.990 --> 00:02:38.020
led to running. How many minutes do you run now?

00:02:39.300 --> 00:02:43.039
I run every day. I'm what they call a streak

00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:47.599
runner. So I've been running every day for the

00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:53.740
past 921 days. So I'm approaching three years

00:02:53.740 --> 00:02:56.599
running every day. It'll be three years in December.

00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:03.939
And not everybody that runs runs every day. It's

00:03:03.939 --> 00:03:07.240
not for everybody, but I decided to run every

00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:11.060
day because the bone pains. My cancer medication

00:03:11.060 --> 00:03:15.520
causes deep bone pains and running really helps

00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.960
with that. So I didn't start off by running every

00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:23.000
day. I built up to it and I noticed when I was

00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.860
running a couple of times per week, I noticed

00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:28.699
that on the days after I ran, I wasn't getting

00:03:28.699 --> 00:03:34.210
those bone pains. But they would come back if

00:03:34.210 --> 00:03:37.509
I didn't run. So I thought, why not run every

00:03:37.509 --> 00:03:47.610
day? I average about 15, 30 minutes per day running.

00:03:47.870 --> 00:03:50.990
And on the weekends, I usually do more. I usually

00:03:50.990 --> 00:03:54.229
bump that up to an hour to two hours of running

00:03:54.229 --> 00:03:57.629
on the weekends. Oh, gee, I don't think I could

00:03:57.629 --> 00:04:04.370
run that far. I ran on my treadmill for an hour

00:04:04.370 --> 00:04:06.949
once, but I don't think I would ever do that

00:04:06.949 --> 00:04:12.849
again. Yeah, no, honestly, I don't like treadmill

00:04:12.849 --> 00:04:17.389
running. It's boring. When I absolutely have

00:04:17.389 --> 00:04:20.649
to run on a treadmill, I put on a movie and I

00:04:20.649 --> 00:04:24.709
run with that. But no, I much prefer to run outside.

00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.279
Well, I was only running on it when I was running

00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.279
on the treadmill. And this was probably four

00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:36.339
or five, six years ago before I got into Beachbody

00:04:36.339 --> 00:04:41.759
On Demand. I was just listening to my ACDC DVD.

00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.500
My brother got me for a Christmas present, I

00:04:45.500 --> 00:04:48.920
believe, or a birthday present. So I was just

00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.680
kind of blasting it all in my basement, driving

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.910
my parents nuts. I love running to ACDC. It just,

00:04:57.009 --> 00:04:59.629
it pumps you up, right? It's got a good beat

00:04:59.629 --> 00:05:01.910
and it gets you going. Especially when you're

00:05:01.910 --> 00:05:05.470
on the highway as well. Yeah. No pun intended.

00:05:05.829 --> 00:05:09.949
Exactly. Yeah. I always think of that movie.

00:05:11.850 --> 00:05:18.610
What's that movie with Emilio Estevez? And ACDC

00:05:18.610 --> 00:05:21.769
did the soundtrack to that. And so I always,

00:05:21.810 --> 00:05:24.209
when I'm running on the highway and I'm listening

00:05:24.209 --> 00:05:26.850
to ACDC, I always think of that movie and I kind

00:05:26.850 --> 00:05:29.709
of look at the cars weird because in that movie,

00:05:29.790 --> 00:05:33.610
the cars all, the transports all came to life

00:05:33.610 --> 00:05:36.850
and were killing people. So Maximum Overdrive,

00:05:36.930 --> 00:05:39.430
that was the name of the movie. I don't think

00:05:39.430 --> 00:05:41.970
I've ever seen that movie. Now I might have to

00:05:41.970 --> 00:05:44.949
go look into it. It's a good movie and it makes

00:05:44.949 --> 00:05:48.089
me run faster when I listen to ACDC. on the highway.

00:05:51.269 --> 00:05:53.410
As long as they're not making you drive faster.

00:05:53.810 --> 00:05:57.149
No, no, no, it doesn't not drive, run, run faster.

00:05:59.970 --> 00:06:05.389
So do you find that running is hard for you when

00:06:05.389 --> 00:06:08.990
you first started? Yes, running was very hard.

00:06:09.089 --> 00:06:11.649
I still remember those first days. I started

00:06:11.649 --> 00:06:15.720
running about six years ago. And still in my

00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:19.540
mind, I remember how hard it was. I was walking

00:06:19.540 --> 00:06:23.540
about five or six kilometers a day by then. And

00:06:23.540 --> 00:06:28.019
so I thought I was fit enough to start running

00:06:28.019 --> 00:06:32.600
and I was wrong. Running and walking are two

00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.680
completely different activities. I honestly thought

00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:38.620
in the first minute of running, I thought I was

00:06:38.620 --> 00:06:42.930
going to die. I couldn't breathe and my legs

00:06:42.930 --> 00:06:45.569
weren't working right. And it felt really awkward.

00:06:45.850 --> 00:06:51.269
And it was just, yeah, it was horrible. But I

00:06:51.269 --> 00:06:54.829
persevered. I don't really know why I persevered

00:06:54.829 --> 00:06:57.269
through that. But I think I was determined to

00:06:57.269 --> 00:07:04.230
listen to my oncologist and get fit. There are

00:07:04.230 --> 00:07:07.029
so many ads these days wherever you go. There

00:07:07.029 --> 00:07:10.449
are ads in movie theaters, on TV, on radio, and

00:07:10.449 --> 00:07:13.089
on billboards. So why would you want to listen

00:07:43.540 --> 00:07:50.819
back to the show. Lose weight. I was about 100

00:07:50.819 --> 00:07:55.240
pounds overweight when I started walking. And

00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.660
I lost a lot of that weight walking, but I was

00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:02.959
struggling to get the last 20, 30 pounds off.

00:08:03.300 --> 00:08:06.620
And so when I took up running, I was still quite

00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:10.279
overweight and it was very awkward to run. But

00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:13.740
I persevered and worked through that. And I ran

00:08:13.740 --> 00:08:17.560
my first five kilometer run in Run for the Cure.

00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:19.680
It was to raise money for breast cancer research.

00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.439
So and that was my goal. And I persisted through

00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:27.399
that. It got easier. Running does get easier

00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.800
as you do it, but it's really hard in the beginning.

00:08:31.420 --> 00:08:36.179
Well, I know a lot of people have been saying

00:08:36.179 --> 00:08:43.259
I should run like a 5K, but I always keep telling

00:08:43.259 --> 00:08:46.340
them to. And it's like, if you can fit in my

00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:49.720
schedule and show me where I can. practice and

00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:54.080
where i have time to do that it's like i was

00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.659
like i was like i don't i don't think i can do

00:08:57.659 --> 00:09:00.500
it right now especially with the whole coronavirus

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:04.179
nothing's happening oh yeah it's really hard

00:09:04.179 --> 00:09:06.759
to run i mean we were restricted we're not allowed

00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:10.360
to run with friends now and we're really restricted

00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:13.980
on our running i am because of my run streak

00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:17.360
and I don't want to miss a day and go back down

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.700
to zero. I'm a member of the Streak Runners International

00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:25.590
and so my run streak is listed. is listed there

00:09:25.590 --> 00:09:29.669
with them. And if I miss a day, I go back down

00:09:29.669 --> 00:09:33.129
to zero and I don't want to go from 900 and something

00:09:33.129 --> 00:09:36.750
down to zero. So I want to get at least a thousand

00:09:36.750 --> 00:09:41.789
days in before that happens. But so I've been

00:09:41.789 --> 00:09:44.669
making sure I get out there, but without having

00:09:44.669 --> 00:09:48.370
your friends to run with and encourage you and

00:09:48.370 --> 00:09:52.970
to distract you from some of the boredom of running,

00:09:53.110 --> 00:09:56.830
then It's really hard to run on your own, but

00:09:56.830 --> 00:10:05.769
it's doable. It's manageable. I know for myself,

00:10:05.870 --> 00:10:09.649
I'm not one of those people who I could, I know

00:10:09.649 --> 00:10:13.629
for myself, I can't run long distance. I don't

00:10:13.629 --> 00:10:18.049
think that my legs and me are meant for running

00:10:18.049 --> 00:10:24.360
at all. It hurts too much. Yeah, running hurts

00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.860
in the beginning for sure. Your body does adjust

00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:30.139
just like with any exercise. Your body adjusts.

00:10:30.139 --> 00:10:33.399
But yeah, running isn't for some people. Everybody

00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.779
finds their own exercise that they enjoy. You

00:10:37.779 --> 00:10:40.019
have to enjoy exercise. Otherwise, you're not

00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:44.360
going to stick with it. So whether you enjoy

00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:48.519
walking or hiking or running or biking or yoga

00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:53.330
or even going to the gym, lifting weights, you

00:10:53.330 --> 00:10:56.629
know taekwondo karate all those you know you

00:10:56.629 --> 00:10:59.570
have to really enjoy it and otherwise you won't

00:10:59.570 --> 00:11:03.330
stick with it uh i know i definitely enjoy karate

00:11:03.330 --> 00:11:07.230
that's it's fun just to take the anger on the

00:11:07.230 --> 00:11:11.769
pads yeah yeah that that's my husband and my

00:11:11.769 --> 00:11:15.649
daughter did taekwondo and they really enjoyed

00:11:15.649 --> 00:11:23.480
it when uh What keeps you motivated to keep running?

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:29.519
Well, one is my streak. So like I said, I don't

00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:32.639
want to go back down to zero in terms of my day.

00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.100
So my streak is really a big part of my running

00:11:36.100 --> 00:11:39.159
now. I don't run fast. I'm not a fast runner.

00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.860
I run for fitness, not to win races or not to

00:11:43.860 --> 00:11:47.179
get a personal best time. I just run for health.

00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.480
So running every day keeps me motivated right

00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:57.179
now. Well, and I also noticed that you run your

00:11:57.179 --> 00:11:59.879
own website, Pink Ribbon Runner. Can you tell

00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:03.009
me a little bit about that? Yes, well, running's

00:12:03.009 --> 00:12:06.470
helped me so much in terms of my cancer. It's

00:12:06.470 --> 00:12:09.049
helped me get healthy after my cancer. It keeps

00:12:09.049 --> 00:12:12.509
some of the side effects of my medications down.

00:12:13.710 --> 00:12:17.750
And I've done a lot of research. When I had cancer

00:12:17.750 --> 00:12:21.009
and I was at home recovering from treatments,

00:12:21.149 --> 00:12:24.350
all I did was read about what I could do to help.

00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:29.820
my doctors get me better. So I follow my doctor's

00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:31.639
advice. But then there was other things that

00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:35.600
I could do to get better myself. Things like

00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.820
nutrition and meditation and exercise. And I

00:12:39.820 --> 00:12:42.360
did a ton of reading. I poured through medical

00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.460
journals. I poured through scientific research

00:12:45.460 --> 00:12:50.019
articles. I bought books about the subject. And

00:12:50.019 --> 00:12:54.730
I really got... into recovering from cancer.

00:12:54.870 --> 00:12:57.970
So I wanted to share that knowledge. It's good

00:12:57.970 --> 00:13:02.190
nutrition and exercise and mindfulness has really

00:13:02.190 --> 00:13:05.690
helped me. So I wanted to help other people with

00:13:05.690 --> 00:13:09.710
that. And I'm actually very into helping other

00:13:09.710 --> 00:13:13.190
people. Now I'm actually going back. I went back

00:13:13.190 --> 00:13:16.389
to school. I'm getting my health coaching certificate

00:13:16.389 --> 00:13:21.230
so that I can do more of this. I should be here.

00:13:21.950 --> 00:13:28.350
That should be cool. As you probably know, of

00:13:28.350 --> 00:13:31.830
talking to me on Facebook and everything, I'm

00:13:31.830 --> 00:13:34.889
still in school and going for motivational speaking.

00:13:35.889 --> 00:13:42.950
And I have pretty much a plan B and C if it doesn't

00:13:42.950 --> 00:13:48.769
work out. That's great. But it opens up more.

00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:54.940
opportunities for me i've uh yeah but like i

00:13:54.940 --> 00:13:59.000
can definitely appreciate if somebody comes back

00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:02.299
to school i even said i didn't i wouldn't want

00:14:02.299 --> 00:14:05.899
to go to college after high school that's when

00:14:05.899 --> 00:14:10.919
i took three years off anyway just counting I

00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:14.340
think education is very important. That's why

00:14:14.340 --> 00:14:16.879
I set out to educate myself about my cancer and

00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.740
about what I could do. I think it's great that

00:14:20.740 --> 00:14:25.700
you're in school and trying to educate yourself

00:14:25.700 --> 00:14:31.549
and make fitness and make this help people. uh

00:14:31.549 --> 00:14:33.970
through motivational speaking and through your

00:14:33.970 --> 00:14:37.990
website and our websites are very similar in

00:14:37.990 --> 00:14:40.350
that you're trying to help people get fit and

00:14:40.350 --> 00:14:44.129
and practice good nutrition so you do it from

00:14:44.129 --> 00:14:46.230
a little bit of a different perspective than

00:14:46.230 --> 00:14:50.909
i do you help autistic people and and and i'm

00:14:50.909 --> 00:14:54.289
helping cancer patients so i think i think that's

00:14:54.289 --> 00:14:56.809
all wonderful i think people need help and they

00:14:56.809 --> 00:15:00.549
need they need good information and um and they

00:15:00.549 --> 00:15:02.809
like to get it from and i think they need to

00:15:02.809 --> 00:15:05.070
get it from people who have been there who've

00:15:05.070 --> 00:15:08.289
been in that situation i definitely agree on

00:15:08.289 --> 00:15:11.970
that because uh it's one thing to to have it

00:15:11.970 --> 00:15:16.210
all um to get information by old doctors and

00:15:16.210 --> 00:15:23.210
health experts but and um but but i feel like

00:15:23.210 --> 00:15:26.950
i feel like that there's always It's also better

00:15:26.950 --> 00:15:32.169
to hear from somebody who goes through either

00:15:32.169 --> 00:15:37.049
cancer or having autism because it's like, well,

00:15:37.230 --> 00:15:42.570
they're just providing the research and facts.

00:15:43.110 --> 00:15:45.250
It's like, well, I live with it every single

00:15:45.250 --> 00:15:48.809
day and you live with cancer every single day.

00:15:48.889 --> 00:15:53.470
Is it still there or is it gone? Yeah, my cancer

00:15:53.470 --> 00:15:57.460
is in remission. So luckily. But, you know, there's

00:15:57.460 --> 00:15:59.600
always that fear that it could come back any

00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:02.879
time. Right. And that happens. People get cancer

00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:06.500
again and again. So that happens. So there's

00:16:06.500 --> 00:16:10.019
always the fear in the back of our minds. So

00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:12.960
that also keeps me motivated to keep eating right

00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:16.980
and exercising to do what I can to prevent it

00:16:16.980 --> 00:16:20.970
from coming back. But yeah, in terms of helping

00:16:20.970 --> 00:16:26.730
people, doctors and nurses and people in the

00:16:26.730 --> 00:16:29.090
healthcare industry, unless they've actually

00:16:29.090 --> 00:16:35.509
experienced it themselves, they don't really

00:16:35.509 --> 00:16:39.090
understand the... those fears and they read about

00:16:39.090 --> 00:16:41.029
it, they read and they, they learn about it in

00:16:41.029 --> 00:16:44.110
school, but they, they don't truly understand.

00:16:44.289 --> 00:16:47.230
So coming from the perspective of people who

00:16:47.230 --> 00:16:50.049
have been there, um, like you with autism and

00:16:50.049 --> 00:16:54.309
me with cancer, um, they, it, it's different.

00:16:54.389 --> 00:16:57.970
It, it really helps to come from people, um,

00:16:58.149 --> 00:17:04.849
who've been there. What, uh, maybe don't mind

00:17:04.849 --> 00:17:13.920
me asking, um, How long ago did you create your

00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:16.220
website and how long it's been up and running

00:17:16.220 --> 00:17:19.819
for? It's been up and running since February

00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:25.259
of last year, so February 2019. And it's been

00:17:25.259 --> 00:17:30.720
steadily growing. I have almost, I'm approaching.

00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:37.200
100 articles on my website now through either

00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.980
I've written them or I've had guest posts. You

00:17:41.980 --> 00:17:44.440
were one of those guest posts and your article

00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:54.880
is great. It's a very inspiring article. It's

00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:59.240
designed to encourage people to develop a healthy

00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:06.430
lifestyle. I really do like the logo that you

00:18:06.430 --> 00:18:12.349
have. Did you create it yourself? I did. I wanted,

00:18:12.589 --> 00:18:16.470
since I'm running back to health and I used running

00:18:16.470 --> 00:18:26.720
to get back to health. The logo is, there's an

00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:32.160
ECG tracing, and then the runner is me, a female

00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:35.000
runner dressed in pink, and she's running towards

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:38.700
the ECG. And so she's running back to health.

00:18:38.900 --> 00:18:41.640
And that's exactly what I did. I used running

00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:46.599
to get back into health. I think that's like

00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:51.799
the, it's a very noticeable logo, and you can't

00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:56.160
miss it. Yeah. Thank you. I was hoping it was

00:18:56.160 --> 00:19:00.880
unique. Yeah, I've seen some logos out there

00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:04.299
that are just... Yeah, well, I wanted something

00:19:04.299 --> 00:19:07.259
simple and clean and something that was easily

00:19:07.259 --> 00:19:13.019
recognized. And my color, I run in pink. So my

00:19:13.019 --> 00:19:16.440
colors of my website are pink and purple. And

00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:18.720
those are the colors I usually run in because

00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.900
breast cancer. I had breast cancer and that's...

00:19:22.890 --> 00:19:26.210
And that's sort of the colors behind my website.

00:19:27.349 --> 00:19:29.349
Well, at least you have colors on your website

00:19:29.349 --> 00:19:33.789
because mine is only, my color is only black,

00:19:35.190 --> 00:19:39.190
white, and gold. I like those colors. One thing

00:19:39.190 --> 00:19:41.329
I worried about with my color is being pink and

00:19:41.329 --> 00:19:44.670
purple. And I do attract a lot of women on my

00:19:44.670 --> 00:19:47.890
site. But my site's not just for women. It's

00:19:47.890 --> 00:19:50.609
for men too, men who have experienced cancer.

00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:56.799
So if they can get past the pink, there is. Thanks

00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:31.740
to come to my website and poke around. But the

00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:34.799
colors are because I went through breast cancer

00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:40.420
and pink sort of represents that. Well, you know,

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.339
the saying is it takes a true man to wear pink.

00:21:44.430 --> 00:21:48.970
That's true. I think I only wear pink once in

00:21:48.970 --> 00:21:56.549
my life, and I haven't worn it since. Yeah, it's

00:21:56.549 --> 00:21:59.890
definitely not a color that, I don't know why,

00:22:00.009 --> 00:22:01.849
I don't know why it's a color that men don't

00:22:01.849 --> 00:22:06.410
like. I guess it stems from when we're babies.

00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:10.779
Mothers usually buy their baby girls pink stuff

00:22:10.779 --> 00:22:14.140
and their baby boys blue stuff. So I think it's

00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:16.420
sort of ingrained that pink is for girl and blue

00:22:16.420 --> 00:22:21.599
is for boys. But I mean, I don't, it should be

00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:33.319
for everybody. What do you, what, have you ever,

00:22:33.380 --> 00:22:37.180
how many races have you ever? participated in?

00:22:37.859 --> 00:22:42.759
Oh, wow, a lot. I've, well, let's start with

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:47.559
the marathons. I've ran one marathon. I ran it

00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:55.119
last year. A marathon is 26 .2 miles. And that

00:22:55.119 --> 00:23:00.119
was tough. Before that, I had ran 15 half marathons.

00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:06.299
And then and I ran a number of lesser distances

00:23:06.299 --> 00:23:10.839
so a lot of 5ks and a lot of 10ks and some 10

00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:20.940
mile 10 mile distances jeez i don't think i i

00:23:20.940 --> 00:23:24.619
still don't think i can do that no it's not for

00:23:24.619 --> 00:23:28.759
everybody but racing is so much fun and and i

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.220
say racing um because that's what they are they're

00:23:31.220 --> 00:23:33.339
races so you're supposed to go out and you're

00:23:33.339 --> 00:23:36.700
supposed to do your best And some people, some

00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:40.240
of the elite runners, they do run to win. But

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.839
the majority of us, probably about 80 to 90 %

00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:48.700
of us, and I call myself a back of the pack runner.

00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:53.359
I'm pretty slow. We just run for fun. And racing

00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:57.960
provides a social opportunity for people. And

00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:01.420
so you get together with your friends and you

00:24:01.420 --> 00:24:07.619
run races. You meet people that like to run races

00:24:07.619 --> 00:24:10.599
and you just try and do your best. And when you

00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:14.299
get across that finish line, it's the best feeling

00:24:14.299 --> 00:24:17.660
in the world. I got hooked crossing my very first

00:24:17.660 --> 00:24:22.640
5K finish line. And it was amazing to me that

00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:25.240
I had just ran five kilometers and I couldn't

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:28.099
believe it. And just the rush of adrenaline and

00:24:28.099 --> 00:24:32.309
just all the happy hormones. got running and,

00:24:32.349 --> 00:24:35.869
and then I was, I was hooked. I needed to do

00:24:35.869 --> 00:24:39.230
that again and again. So I've ran a lot of races

00:24:39.230 --> 00:24:43.029
and they're fun. That sounds like me and karate

00:24:43.029 --> 00:24:47.990
where, uh, it's all the adrenaline. And by the

00:24:47.990 --> 00:24:50.710
time when I get off the mat, I'm like, I'm drenched

00:24:50.710 --> 00:24:52.910
and everything. It was like, well, I just left

00:24:52.910 --> 00:24:57.150
all my feelings on the, on the mat, uh, physically

00:24:57.150 --> 00:25:02.390
and mentally. But you just want more and more.

00:25:02.750 --> 00:25:05.769
And once you punch one bag, you just want to

00:25:05.769 --> 00:25:10.930
punch more bags. And what's even nice is that

00:25:10.930 --> 00:25:14.589
in kickboxing class, you get to spar with your

00:25:14.589 --> 00:25:19.869
partner, obviously, with all the pads on and

00:25:19.869 --> 00:25:22.529
everything. And obviously, you don't punch each

00:25:22.529 --> 00:25:24.730
other, knock each other out, but practice on

00:25:24.730 --> 00:25:30.779
each other. It's legal. Yeah. Yeah, so you know

00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:34.380
the feeling that once you get through that fight,

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:37.980
that it feels good that you've accomplished something.

00:25:38.339 --> 00:25:44.720
Yeah, eight rounds in 45 minutes. Yeah, it definitely

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:49.519
feels good, especially when they blast music

00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:53.980
and the whole place as well. Yeah, it gets you

00:25:53.980 --> 00:25:56.839
pumped up. And you meet people, right? You meet

00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:00.539
people who enjoy karate, too. Yeah. And you talk

00:26:00.539 --> 00:26:05.740
karate. Yeah. Yeah, I met a lot of people through

00:26:05.740 --> 00:26:12.519
karate. Some of them are their own bosses. My

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:24.289
sensei is inspiring. He's basically like a real

00:26:24.289 --> 00:26:29.410
life Yoda from Star Wars. Yeah, that's nice.

00:26:31.789 --> 00:26:37.769
Yeah, that's good. And so you know that feeling,

00:26:37.890 --> 00:26:40.890
that connection you have with the other people

00:26:40.890 --> 00:26:44.730
that just makes the whole, it makes it a whole

00:26:44.730 --> 00:26:48.609
sort of world in and of itself that's really

00:26:48.609 --> 00:26:54.980
enjoyable. Yeah. It really is, and it's really

00:26:54.980 --> 00:26:58.859
enjoyable with everybody there. I miss them all

00:26:58.859 --> 00:27:03.539
because everything is now on Zoom classes at

00:27:03.539 --> 00:27:06.319
the moment with karate, and they say that they're

00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:09.559
opening up sometime at the end of June. Oh, that's

00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:12.500
good. But I decided to stay on the Zoom classes

00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:17.579
because I don't feel comfortable going back yet.

00:27:18.430 --> 00:27:22.970
Yeah, yeah, it takes time. I don't, yeah, we're

00:27:22.970 --> 00:27:27.190
sort of allowed to run in small groups now, and

00:27:27.190 --> 00:27:30.769
I haven't because there's still that worry about,

00:27:30.869 --> 00:27:35.529
you know, COVID's still out there. So I prefer

00:27:35.529 --> 00:27:38.829
to kind of run on my own right now. So I understand

00:27:38.829 --> 00:27:43.670
that. What do you think is the most challenging

00:27:43.670 --> 00:27:52.359
part about running? Actually running. Yeah, it's

00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:57.940
hard. And with running, you don't need to run

00:27:57.940 --> 00:28:01.660
fast all the time. But when you're starting out

00:28:01.660 --> 00:28:05.400
running, it's just hard all the time. So and

00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:08.700
getting past that feeling of not being able to

00:28:08.700 --> 00:28:12.099
breathe, get enough oxygen in and just the tired,

00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:16.269
sore legs. Um, it's, it can be really tough.

00:28:16.349 --> 00:28:20.410
I'm, I know I'm making it sound great, but, uh,

00:28:20.529 --> 00:28:23.950
it's, so the actual running part is probably

00:28:23.950 --> 00:28:26.210
the hardest part, but the feeling afterwards

00:28:26.210 --> 00:28:31.170
is so worth it. It's so much that you feel you

00:28:31.170 --> 00:28:34.190
get your adrenaline going and your happy hormones

00:28:34.190 --> 00:28:37.150
flowing and, and you just feel, and you feel

00:28:37.150 --> 00:28:41.369
like you've accomplished something. Um, so yeah,

00:28:41.450 --> 00:28:45.539
so the running part's the hardest part. Do you

00:28:45.539 --> 00:28:48.119
run the same trail every single time or do you

00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:51.940
do different trails? Well, since COVID's been

00:28:51.940 --> 00:28:55.420
here and we've been restricted on where we can

00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:58.720
go and who we can go with, I've been sort of

00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:01.000
running my neighborhood over and over again.

00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:03.400
I'm getting kind of sick of it. I want to go

00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:06.960
out and find other places. My favorite thing

00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:10.819
to do is run when I travel. So to find new areas,

00:29:10.900 --> 00:29:15.170
to explore, that's my favorite thing. And I've

00:29:15.170 --> 00:29:17.910
actually written a few blog articles on some

00:29:17.910 --> 00:29:21.609
of the places I've discovered with running and

00:29:21.609 --> 00:29:28.730
traveling. It's really a great way to see a place.

00:29:31.750 --> 00:29:37.250
Are there ever days that you feel like you don't

00:29:37.250 --> 00:29:43.180
want to run? Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's days where

00:29:43.180 --> 00:29:47.180
I really dread and I leave it until about 10

00:29:47.180 --> 00:29:48.940
o 'clock at night because I really don't want

00:29:48.940 --> 00:29:53.039
to go for a run. But then I always, when I get

00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:55.559
out there because of my streak, I don't want

00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:58.640
my streak to end. I'm so glad I did. I feel so

00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:02.220
much better once the run's over. I feel energized

00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:06.460
and healthy and happier when I get out there.

00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:09.880
Well, I don't know if any of my friends from

00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:14.299
karate ever listen to this podcast, but if they

00:30:14.299 --> 00:30:19.119
do, well, I'm sorry to admit this, but on Monday,

00:30:19.180 --> 00:30:21.220
I didn't really feel like going to karate, but

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:25.160
I still went anyway. That's good. Even if it's

00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:28.859
in my own house. Yeah, yeah. Sometimes you just

00:30:28.859 --> 00:30:32.980
have to push yourself, but then once you do it,

00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.470
then you feel much better. Actually, I don't

00:30:37.470 --> 00:30:39.390
know. No, actually, no, it wasn't Monday. It

00:30:39.390 --> 00:30:43.109
was Wednesday. Whoops. The days blend in. Oh,

00:30:43.130 --> 00:30:45.890
yeah. Yeah. But you did it, right? You went out

00:30:45.890 --> 00:30:47.829
there and you did your karate. How did you feel

00:30:47.829 --> 00:30:55.269
afterwards? It felt great. I felt like I could

00:30:55.269 --> 00:31:01.410
conquer the world. Not that I would, but I felt

00:31:01.410 --> 00:31:03.190
like I could do anything that was on my mind,

00:31:03.190 --> 00:31:12.250
too. It also made for a better... Actually, no,

00:31:12.269 --> 00:31:15.190
it wasn't Wednesday. It was Monday. Yeah, whatever.

00:31:17.009 --> 00:31:21.750
I don't know. I lost track. But anyway, it felt

00:31:21.750 --> 00:31:33.309
good. And it made for a better Thursday. I'm

00:31:33.309 --> 00:31:36.789
still going with momentum today. I just feel

00:31:36.789 --> 00:31:41.890
awesome. Always need that extra momentum. It's

00:31:41.890 --> 00:31:47.549
kind of like coffee for some people, but I don't

00:31:47.549 --> 00:31:51.369
drink coffee, so I wouldn't know that. Yeah,

00:31:51.369 --> 00:31:55.269
coffee's my bad habit. One of my bad habits.

00:31:55.289 --> 00:31:58.730
I drink a lot of coffee. But you're right, exercise

00:31:58.730 --> 00:32:02.589
is a great way to start your day and it's a great

00:32:02.589 --> 00:32:05.589
way to finish your day. It just leaves you feeling

00:32:05.589 --> 00:32:08.609
so much better. But yeah, it can be really hard

00:32:08.609 --> 00:32:12.230
to start. It can be really hard to get out there.

00:32:12.630 --> 00:32:15.170
So I always say putting on my... So maybe actually

00:32:15.170 --> 00:32:17.750
I can change my answer to your last question.

00:32:18.049 --> 00:32:20.309
Putting on your running shoes is probably the

00:32:20.309 --> 00:32:26.940
hardest part. Well, that's why I have... I would

00:32:26.940 --> 00:32:28.960
have to say that's kind of like with karate,

00:32:29.059 --> 00:32:32.779
that if you're not in your karate uniform ahead

00:32:32.779 --> 00:32:39.839
of time, you kind of feel like, well, can I skip?

00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:46.720
I was like, is that possible? But then I remind

00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:51.140
myself, well, one, since the whole coronavirus

00:32:51.140 --> 00:32:54.910
is going on, What excuse do I have? And it's

00:32:54.910 --> 00:32:58.750
like, I'm in my own house. I have internet. And

00:32:58.750 --> 00:33:01.630
the only two excuses that I could see possibly

00:33:01.630 --> 00:33:08.930
fit that I can't make it is either my internet

00:33:08.930 --> 00:33:14.329
is out or I'm sick and I have to stay in bed.

00:33:14.650 --> 00:33:20.200
But I don't have any other excuses. Exactly,

00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:25.680
right? Especially now that it's on Zoom. I don't

00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:29.779
have an excuse to not go, to not show up. Yeah,

00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:32.980
when you work out in your own home, you're really

00:33:32.980 --> 00:33:36.420
obligated. But it can be really hard to motivate

00:33:36.420 --> 00:33:38.359
yourself to actually work out when you're at

00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:43.309
home. How I picture it, how I get myself motivated

00:33:43.309 --> 00:33:48.950
is that I see it as like, okay, let me use karate

00:33:48.950 --> 00:33:55.849
as an example since I'm on a roll anyway. For

00:33:55.849 --> 00:34:01.430
me, I keep myself motivated by I know that it's

00:34:01.430 --> 00:34:04.930
45 minutes all to myself. No one can interrupt

00:34:04.930 --> 00:34:10.090
me. uh well except for my sensei and my joshu's

00:34:10.090 --> 00:34:13.530
who can interrupt me if i'm doing something wrong

00:34:13.530 --> 00:34:18.030
to help me correct myself but no one in my family

00:34:18.030 --> 00:34:23.489
can come down and interrupt me then either during

00:34:23.489 --> 00:34:29.750
karate or even um or even uh and uh just when

00:34:29.750 --> 00:34:32.369
i'm working out on beach body on demand it's

00:34:32.369 --> 00:34:37.030
45 minutes or 30 minutes or 23 minutes to myself

00:34:37.030 --> 00:34:42.610
knowing it's me time. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's

00:34:42.610 --> 00:34:44.650
another thing that I love about running. I can

00:34:44.650 --> 00:34:48.670
just go out and do my run and I can just leave

00:34:48.670 --> 00:34:52.010
the world behind. Can either listen to the sounds

00:34:52.010 --> 00:34:55.010
of nature when I'm running on a trail or I can

00:34:55.010 --> 00:34:58.530
put my earbuds in and just, uh, just run to the

00:34:58.530 --> 00:35:01.969
music. It's, uh, it's really great. Do you have,

00:35:01.969 --> 00:35:06.659
do you use any running apps? Um, I've, There's

00:35:06.659 --> 00:35:08.699
that run zombie run that I haven't tried yet.

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:14.539
That sounds more like a game. It is a game. It's

00:35:14.539 --> 00:35:17.099
a game with running. So you get chased by zombies

00:35:17.099 --> 00:35:20.179
and you have to outrun them. And it's when you're

00:35:20.179 --> 00:35:22.420
actually running in real time when you're running.

00:35:22.619 --> 00:35:26.119
No, I haven't really used an app, but that one

00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:35.539
sounds like fun. There are so many ads these

00:35:35.539 --> 00:35:38.300
days wherever you go. There are ads in movie

00:35:38.300 --> 00:35:41.539
theaters, on TV, on radio, and on billboards.

00:35:41.900 --> 00:35:44.519
So why would you want to listen to ads in a podcast?

00:36:12.309 --> 00:36:19.489
notes. Now let's get back to the show. What were

00:36:19.489 --> 00:36:21.710
we saying again before this whole thing happened?

00:36:22.789 --> 00:36:28.550
We were talking about... apps and running and

00:36:28.550 --> 00:36:33.829
I was talking about the zombie run app oh yeah

00:36:33.829 --> 00:36:39.949
I was going to say is there any other places

00:36:39.949 --> 00:36:44.730
that you are there any other apps that you use

00:36:44.730 --> 00:36:47.940
to track your running and everything I have a

00:36:47.940 --> 00:36:54.300
Gehrman watch, a Gehrman Devo Active, and I use

00:36:54.300 --> 00:36:57.480
that to track my runs. So I use Gehrman Connects.

00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:01.820
I have used MapMyRun in the past, but I found

00:37:01.820 --> 00:37:07.179
it wasn't that accurate. And then a lot of runners

00:37:07.179 --> 00:37:10.679
use Gehrman, so I got my first Gehrman watch.

00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:14.539
I got a Gehrman 4Runner 15, I think was my first

00:37:14.539 --> 00:37:19.650
watch. i got and then my next watch was the vivo

00:37:19.650 --> 00:37:23.170
active and i think after my vivo active conks

00:37:23.170 --> 00:37:26.889
out i think forerunner 35 will be my next watch

00:37:26.889 --> 00:37:29.349
my husband has that one and i really like it

00:37:29.349 --> 00:37:36.050
so i use uh uh i can't pronounce this brand name

00:37:36.050 --> 00:37:40.289
but it's i think it's called the xl me uh me

00:37:40.289 --> 00:37:45.420
band four and it was um What I liked about it

00:37:45.420 --> 00:37:49.039
is that it just kind of tracks all my steps,

00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:55.840
tracks running and weightlifting, and I believe

00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:58.500
it can track weightlifting. It can track pretty

00:37:58.500 --> 00:38:04.079
much a lot of exercises. It can track pretty

00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:10.289
much... a lot of things and uh plus it was the

00:38:10.289 --> 00:38:15.489
only thing after my uh last garment i had and

00:38:15.489 --> 00:38:19.090
just kept on dying and dying and dying i was

00:38:19.090 --> 00:38:22.730
like i'm i'm done with this thing and so i got

00:38:22.730 --> 00:38:25.409
this and it was more affordable than the other

00:38:25.409 --> 00:38:28.789
one the garment one was like 100 bucks and it's

00:38:28.789 --> 00:38:31.469
like this is 100 bucks and it's like i could

00:38:31.469 --> 00:38:35.190
go to something more with like 30 bucks Yeah,

00:38:35.230 --> 00:38:38.090
Gehrman is expensive. Yeah, I was reading about

00:38:38.090 --> 00:38:40.610
that on your website, and I forgot about that

00:38:40.610 --> 00:38:43.150
one. I was going to look into that. My Vivo Active

00:38:43.150 --> 00:38:45.730
has to conk out first before I buy my new watch,

00:38:45.769 --> 00:38:49.190
so I can't afford a new one right now. But, yeah,

00:38:49.269 --> 00:38:51.150
I was reading about that on your site, and it

00:38:51.150 --> 00:38:54.710
looked pretty good. Yeah, check it out if you're

00:38:54.710 --> 00:38:57.650
ever interested. If you have any questions, I

00:38:57.650 --> 00:39:01.489
can definitely point you in the right direction.

00:39:01.730 --> 00:39:06.840
I like it so far. Some people don't like the

00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:11.679
company, but I don't have any problems. I was

00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:13.519
just looking for something that I didn't want

00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:16.420
to spend another $100 on something. I was like,

00:39:16.539 --> 00:39:19.900
I'll spend another few hundred on a new phone

00:39:19.900 --> 00:39:24.019
if I ever can replace my phone, but I really

00:39:24.019 --> 00:39:27.239
don't want to spend any more money on an expensive

00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:33.019
fitness tracker. No, no. Yeah, I'll definitely

00:39:33.019 --> 00:39:36.639
check it out. Sounds like a good watch. Where

00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:41.139
can people find you? On pinkribbonrunner .com.

00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:47.239
So that's my website, and you can find me there.

00:39:47.380 --> 00:39:52.679
I have email. I'm also on Facebook, Pink Ribbon

00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:57.440
Runner, and Instagram, and Twitter. I'm on Twitter

00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:11.420
as well. One last thing before we wrap up. How

00:40:11.420 --> 00:40:18.440
would you recommend people to start off running?

00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:27.400
Joining an exercise class or a run class is probably

00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:31.949
the way that I would recommend it. Just to put

00:40:31.949 --> 00:40:35.449
on a pair of shoes and go out the door is one

00:40:35.449 --> 00:40:37.909
way a lot of people do it. But when you join

00:40:37.909 --> 00:40:42.690
a run class with people who know about running,

00:40:42.750 --> 00:40:45.769
you can do it properly. There's so many things

00:40:45.769 --> 00:40:50.889
that can go wrong with joint injuries and you

00:40:50.889 --> 00:40:53.530
need proper running shoes. So you need to know

00:40:53.530 --> 00:40:56.210
what to buy for running shoes. You need to know

00:40:56.210 --> 00:41:00.019
what clothes to wear because there's... things

00:41:00.019 --> 00:41:03.639
like chafing and blisters. And one thing with

00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:06.039
a run class too is you can have other participants

00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:07.900
going through the same thing that you're going

00:41:07.900 --> 00:41:10.079
through and struggling just like you're struggling.

00:41:10.260 --> 00:41:12.619
I don't think I'd be running if I didn't take

00:41:12.619 --> 00:41:17.440
a run class and have those people. We all encouraged

00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:20.260
each other to continue on despite how hard it

00:41:20.260 --> 00:41:24.199
was. So social running is really, really important

00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:39.469
to get going. That's really good advice. It makes

00:41:39.469 --> 00:41:44.389
running sound very easy. Well, it sort of is.

00:41:44.510 --> 00:41:49.010
It's because some people think we were born to

00:41:49.010 --> 00:41:51.690
run. and that we're designed to be runners. And

00:41:51.690 --> 00:41:54.210
that's true. We were designed to be runners.

00:41:54.730 --> 00:41:57.550
And it's just our lifestyle that has made us

00:41:57.550 --> 00:42:01.389
more sedentary and taken away the ability to

00:42:01.389 --> 00:42:06.190
run in most people. So it's a natural thing for

00:42:06.190 --> 00:42:09.369
us to do, but it is hard to get started. So having

00:42:09.369 --> 00:42:11.789
encouragement from other people and taking a

00:42:11.789 --> 00:42:14.429
run class and learning how to do it properly

00:42:14.429 --> 00:42:17.989
without getting injured is really important.

00:42:20.650 --> 00:42:27.989
It sounds like an art. Yeah, and soon I'll have

00:42:27.989 --> 00:42:31.469
my own little running program started on my website.

00:42:31.690 --> 00:42:37.909
I'm in the works on building a couch to 5K program

00:42:37.909 --> 00:42:42.130
for cancer survivors. And it's going to be a

00:42:42.130 --> 00:42:45.889
really gentle program. I taught running to cancer

00:42:45.889 --> 00:42:49.739
survivors with... other programs and I found

00:42:49.739 --> 00:42:54.460
that they were hard for cancer survivors whose

00:42:54.460 --> 00:42:58.059
body's been weakened by chemo and treatments.

00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:04.139
So I've actually developed a program that is

00:43:04.139 --> 00:43:09.829
really gentle and it will help get runners. help

00:43:09.829 --> 00:43:12.610
get cancer survivors running, take them from

00:43:12.610 --> 00:43:17.550
walking to running. And so that's coming. That's

00:43:17.550 --> 00:43:21.090
in the works. I hope to get that up on my website

00:43:21.090 --> 00:43:26.690
soon. You should send it over to me so I can

00:43:26.690 --> 00:43:31.210
check it out when it's done. I will. I'm looking

00:43:31.210 --> 00:43:33.449
forward to it. Again, thanks for joining me.
