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

Great job John. Running in the heat is doable, it just takes time to adapt to the heat, extra hydration and generally you go a bit slower. It helps being young as well.

Okay, I did it! Thy said I have neutral feet- or is it A Neutral stride-and wanted me to have a neutral shoe with a slight 4 mm drop since I'm running and walking both. (I wanted a light, more minimalist style) I ran outside in a few pair and ended up with the saucony contana 2. Super cute!

I liked newtons okay too but prefer the slight cushion saucony has.

According to their camera I cross my right foot over in front of the left a little and I would t have known to watch for that had I not gone. Good to know.

Crossing my fingers that I still love them after tomorrow's AM run and that I figure out these knees.

Well that's the update. Here's the shoe.

I absolutely love the way they look and feel so far. The true test is a whole run. Can't wait til tomorrow morning. I have to thank fiddle for helping make this possible! You rawk!

Know what I DON'T like though? The fancy running socks she sold me. I don't like that super tight band on my arch and hated how they pulled my big toe over into the to others. Not good for the bunion.

This here is what's causing all the trouble. It's not "just a bunion", my whole foot is screwy

My pic disappeared somehow so here's an X-ray of someone else's foot. That's what mines like.

Those are beautiful! I'm jealous that you fit in cool women's shoes! I've got big ole feet and have to wear men's Brooks, which don't have any cool styles.

I my have to go back and get the mens version. That store doesnt carry many wides.

I'm still waiting the 'go-ahead' to start running again from my sports medicine doc regarding my knees. I've been walking a LOT. While going to the last few classes of my C25K class - I was walking so fast that only one of the runners passed me. The others did the walk/run gradually all run sessions, but never went past me on the track. It was a 1/2 mile track.

Although I felt badly that I couldn't run, I felt pretty good that I was able to walk at such a fast speed.

I'm hoping that I get the OK soon - physical therapy continues and I feel so much stronger. It is motivating to read this thread - keeps me focused.

I am so happy you like your new shoes enough to even "want" to keep going (they look really snazzy too), even in the presence of a little "pain." is that not the way it always is? We would never achieve success if we lacked the tools to motivate us to keep going when the going gets tough. For example, I am a violinist and would easily give up and not practice if I hated the sound coming from my violin. I play on a high quality professional instrument so even my mistakes sound good and it is enough for me not to lose motivation along the way. One thing you want to be careful of is to listen to your body and make little changes in the feedback loop that are going to be positive for you. It would be easy to develop the wrong habits to compensate incorrectly in the presence of bad results. A good tool will help you compensate correctly and not develop bad habits.

Week 4 Day 1 done! Almost back to where I left off 2 months ago. Feeling motivated again.

I'm proud of you!

I'm starting w3d1 and nervous about jumping from 1.5 min max run to 2.5. Who came up with this program anyway? I keed, I keed.

Thank you. I'm proud of me and you too. We haven't quit and we're believing in ourselves. That is 3/4 of the battle. It's always about the head game. ????????

I was being silly. It seems Jeff to jump from 1.5 to 2.5 but the walks are longer too. C25k seems pretty ingenious.

Week 8 Day 1 done (second attempt). Foot is almost pain free. Really felt good to let it roll this AM.

Tomorrow, Week 4 day 2 for the outside run.

Ok checking in... I'm STILL doing week one.

I'm still thanking the blue skies above every time the 30 minutes are up and I'm still alive and kicking.

Hang in the Laura, it will get easier, or at least more tolerable...I promise.
