Just checking in, my goal for the new you challenge is to be at 200 by new years, I am currently at 220, and have a goal to be at 215 by this sat, i know it is a little un-realistic but i really want this goal more then anything, so i am really gonna try hard this week to get as close as i can to it. so wish me luck:thumbup::biggrin:

ok so last night i did an entire hour, and i did a little over 3 miles about 3.25 miles, i think i pushed myself to far though. I was feeling some rubbing on my foot the last few nights, and then last night i think i over compensated by leaning towards the other side of my foot and now it hurts sooooo bad, i think i will give myself a rest tonight, i did 4 nights in a row so i think 1 night of rest wont hurt, and hopefully that will give my foot time to feel better. And i am kinda upset cause since i started useing the treadmill i have gained weight, not lost, im very sad about this, not sure what to do because i have been eating right.:biggrin:

what i considered a fast walk, is 3.0 and honestly im not sure how fast i was going when i was running, cause i switched my view to my clock so i could time my run for 60 sec. Every now and then i would drop down to like 2.5-2.7 to give myself a little break. and i am definitly paying attention to my breathing, that is one of the main things i think about.

Okay so i started on my treadmill last week, i have not been able to follow the c25k, so i am doing what i can. please give your opinions and recomendations as you see fit. my first day on the treadmill i did 20 min, could only do one stint of running, but walked very fast for the remainder of the time, then second day did the same, and my third day i added one more stint of running. now last night was my 4 day on my treadmill, and i did 2 miles in 45 min, with about 3 small sprints mixed in, am i on the right track or do i need to step up my game or what, i am trying hard i really am and i do not want to hurt myself, which my feet are really killing me today, lol, i guess i need some better sneaks. i hope i am doing ok please let me know what i can do better!!!:tongue2:

That sounds great bill, and thanks for the encouragement, I think I might try that, Im gonna see if I can find a race in my area in about 3 months, i hope that will give me enough time. :drool:

Ok i just found this thread, and i am so glad i did since i just got a treadmill, i have never exercised a day in my life, and i really wanted some encouragement to start with my walking/ running, which i never thought i would be able to run, but seeing all of these posts makes me believe that i can, (AND I WILL). So i am going to try out the C25K so wish me luck, im starting tonight when i get off of work. sooooooo excited:tt2:

Thanks you guys, and i really dont think he is trying to sabatoge me he just doesnt want to give up what he loves, but i will talk to him about it
