Liftingchic

Sorry to hear about the setback.. hopefully they will be able to schedule your sleep test ASAP

Did my 5k(my 1st 5K) this past weekend.. Went good other than I fell/tripped with about .10 miles to go :biggrin: got a pretty bad case of road rash and a bruised hip/quad. But I finished in 37 mins.. about a 12 min pace.. Its a starting point.. I feel like i lost at least 2 mins on the fall, it took me a few seconds to get up and i never regained my pace.. This race was 1/2 street and 1/2 cross country though an awesome park

Running another 5k this coming weekend and then I will be running/jogging heheh a 10k at the end of the month then I think its time to just maintain

Hiya fellow runners.. Just read all the posts.

I started running in June, was going to do c25k but i felt it was too easy for me at the beginning, always was a big girl but worked out, and i have been doing running intervals for years.. So I started by running 1.5miles then walked for 1.5 and little by little I am now up to 4 miles with no walking.. Once in a while i have to stop maybe once out of 10 runs or something..

I am doing my first 5k this coming weekend.. I signed up for a 10k too at the end of Sept but sure i am ready for that much but they said i could change to 5k as late as the day before. I have always wanted to run a 1/2 marathon, its on my bucket list (i am only 27 heheh) but I would really have to do one next year around this time, but lot of running programs for half marathons say you should be a runner for more then a year before starting the program.

Thats Awesome! Cant wait to hear how it goes!

broccoli slaw mix--I eat a LOT of this

Like the kinda you buy by the lettuce? you can make homemade cole slaw with? do you eat that with some kinda of dressing?

Hiya Guys, I am still struggling with making good choices and not eating out all the time.. Can you guys give me some ideas of stuff you guys get every time you got grocery shopping? like certain oatmeal or yogurt or whatever
