Vurtual 10K- Anyone In?



Recommended Posts

Hello! Anyone interested in running/walking a 10k virtually?

I need the motivation so I was planning a 10k on December 15 or 16th.

We all walk/run 10k (6.2 miles) on either the 15th or 16th of December and we post our stats here. You can run it in the gym/home on a treadmill or on the streets. You can map out your course ahead of time using runkeeper.com if you decide to take your bad @?s to the streets.

One month to train and you can break it up to three miles each if you must but....

Check out Jeff Galloway's walk/run plans. He is really amazing for injury free running.

Next weekend. Keep track of mileage and time. Post here when you are done. You can map out the route you will take to get to the 10k on mapmyrun.com. You can also use apps on your smart phone like runkeeper or Nike.

You can also split the 10k into 2 parts if you can't do the 10 altogether!

OK count me in, my current time for a 10K is 50 minutes (I know that sucks, I am a run/walker ;-) ) So I will try to beat my time, how is that Minimi?

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
