I am waiting for a call back from the doc that did my knee replacement almost 2 years ago. My nut is setting a training session up. ' date='[/quote']

Have been ok'd to do the training. May 11th is the big day!! I'm. 66 and hate running so will see!!

I love it! Dean- you've started a mini c25k revolution right here!

Tonight is a run night for me (W5, D2) and I guess that puts me at almost half way... whoa! Now if I can just coax myself outside to try things out on the road instead of the treadmill. Maybe this weekend I'll give it a go if my monkey stays with grandma.

Ok, I've always said to my friends, "if I'm running or cross country skiing, call the police because someone is chasing me!" But after reading this thread I actually read up on the app...haven't downloaded yet, but think I will...

Dean I don't like you.... I just reread this thread today and, well, I feel like I missed out and now I'm jealous. I downloaded the app just now. But I don't know if I can even do it! I don't run, I have never run! Do you guys do this outside I mean I don't own a treadmill and I am embarrassed to even try it at the gym. Come to think of it, I'm scared to try it outside too!

At my psych eval, he said those who suceed with weightloss surgery, past the first year, have developed an excersice component. So bought a nice (not the cheapest or most expensive) treadmill the week before surgery. Walked a little during the 6 weeks recovery. PA said to bust loose with exercise after that! Had taped the C25K calendar (off of pinterest) to the treadmill. Perfect timing when Dean posted! Too much of an introvert to run outside yet. I am still awkward so repeating the first week! Everyday is better and stronger, what more could I wish for!

Don't be a poo head. Get outside and put one foot in front of the other, rinse and repeat. Do I have to do everything around here?

I hate walking on the treadmill but am thinking of the 5 K training that the nut does at my surgeons's office. Signed the release but she isn't in today, and I got the ok from the surgeon that replaced my knee two years ago. Have lost 49 pounds but I'm not at goal yet. HUMMMMM!! What to do!!

Thanks, but I can't take credit for that. It was a pretty innocuous first post really

Obviously what's had the impact is the collective enthusiasm from everyone - it's very cool!!

Have a go on the road. Treadmills are great for the purpose they serve, but really, the joy of fresh air and pavement .........
