Installed the app and just got back from the first session. Anyone else interested?

No

Aww go on!

You can do it on one of those beaches over there (that aren't as nice as ours!)

Don't be dissing my beach! I wish you fun on your 5k but to me I'd rather spend 5k on a couch....

Haha, cmon! I plan on starting it after surgery.

I had an attempt a few weeks ago. It was too soon and I got light headed. So I stuck to walking the dog. Today felt good though.

When are you booked in?

26th. Starting my pre op diet today. Looking forward to it. They've got me set up for 4 appointments in the 2 weeks, so hopefully it'll keep me busy. And my dogs have already expressed how excited they are that all I'll be doing is walking, all 3 of them.

Good luck with the pre op. I'm sure you'll be fine. Pretty easy to be super strict for 2 weeks.

I started c25k recently and so far I'm pretty motivated with it. I've actually exercised every day since starting. Tonight will l be day 1 of week 3 for me. I've pushed a little and did an extra run cycle almost every night so far. I run on the treadmill so I run at 1.5-2% incline to try and compensate for the street vs. treadmill difference.

I'm not a runner and my favorite saying has always been "if you see me running, call the cops cause someone has a gun", so I'm surprised I'm enjoying it so far. I think it's hit some weird competitive thing in me. I'd been totally stalled in exercise and weight loss since late summer and finally decided I needed to do something to try and tighten up my belly pooch. Lets see if the running helps. Tightening up is definitely my goal with the running.

Nothing loses weight and tightens things up like running. If your running 5k 3 or 4 times a week I think you'll smash thru the stall.

I'll let you know how it goes with week 3. running 1.5 minutes ok... running 3 minutes... not so sure about that... :/ if I can tack on the extra 1.5 at the end before warming down, I'll feel accomplished for sure.

I did that program years ago, with moderate success. I'd join you on it again if I didn't just get a shiny new pair of crutches today

WHAT HAPPENED????

Hey mr. dom man ive been doing this for a few months now. I really enjoy it. if doing it on the treadmill or outside starts to hurt your feet or knees to much you can hop on the elliptical there a speed and time tracker on there and its gentle on the joints. Have FUN!!

WHAT HAPPENED????

They don't know

I broke my ankle years ago, and they patched it with a plate and screws. It aches occasionally in the way that old broken bones will, so I didn't think much of it until I tried to stand up this morning and failed. Xrays showed nothing wrong physically and I didn't injure it in any way that I know of, so they stabilized the ankle with an air cast and gave me some crutches and told me to stay off it until it stops hurting.
