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.

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! :(

Me too Laura me too!!

He left us behind :(

Hehe I even posted I needed help getting from the bed to the couch and no one gave me advice :P

Mean fitness divas lol hehe

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? :D

Hearts!!

Hehehe!

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 .........
