Re Engauging The Couch To 5k.

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,281]

I have been out of commission since August and it's driving me crazy!!! I have been really moody and feeling under the weather since then. I miss my running!! So, starting Sunday I'm RE starting my Couch to 5K running plan. I can't wait! It should be a lot easier this time around than the first time... haha! I've gotten some much slimmer legs so that should help a lot!

Though I have done a little here and there, but have only ran one full 5K in between all my down times. In those getting back into it, I've noticed taking a break of a few weeks or more and I have to recondition my muscles all over again. So... but this time I won't have to stop!!! YAYYYAYYYY!!!

If anyone would like to join in, that would be great. Good luck!

First day back on the treadmill, going full steam ahead with the new plan and no worries I'll have to stop anytime soon.. SWEET!!! I'm still in a lot better shape than I originally thought. That's always nice.

DId you start back at week 1 or did you start somewhere in the middle? I haven't done it since October but I've just gotten back to the gym this week for 2 strength classes (and OW I am sore!!). I'm thinking of starting back on week 3 or 4 and seeing how I do with it . . .

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,281]

I did start with week one. I could've started at 3 or 4 probably, my first sessions were really easy. But, no rush - I've got nothing but time, so I just decided not to skip ahead.

I just did my first day of C25K today! I probably haven't run since I was in my teens. I did OK. My neighborhood is not completely flat so one of the times of running, I slowed to almost a crawl because it was uphill. On the flat I did fine. Now to just motivate myself to do it two more times this week after a day of work. I will be glad when it stays light out longer. I guess that's when a treadmill would come in handy!

Me DH and I plan to do a 3 mile walk this Sat. I hope we can finish!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,281]

lk and Cindy, great job!!! Whatever you can do is fine, the important thing is just going out there and doing it!! Whoohooo!!

Great morning to start...

My wife, I and 8 others met and started the C25k...

all WLS people... feeling good!

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,281]

Congrats to you all!!! I have one signed up for next month. I doubt I will be able to run the whole thing, but I'm just ecstatic I will be running again period!

yay, did some random jogging for the first time ever this weekend, then found c25k, and did w1 d1 today, 3 consecutive days in I'm sore, BUT so far I've increased from 1.8miles to 2.2, and from 4mph to 4.8, so although I feel shattered, and like each effort has been sorer and slower than the last, the stats don't lie, and something is happening

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,281]

@cludgie, thats great lady!! Keep it up! I'm taking my time seriously slowly. I'm doin it though... and February I'm gonna start knocking it outta the park.
