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

I just wanted to go off topic and say it was really nice meeting "deedadumble" (can I use your name?) and her awesome son last night! Two normal weighted (almost) gals out in the world where they should! be doing normal things with ease!

Ok people go run!

It was wonderful meeting Laura and her son in person too! She's the same in person as she is on here.... very kind and sweet! My son loved making a new friend and is looking forward to keeping in touch on Skype.

I love having the energy to get out and explore when I go on trips. I remember in the past sitting in my hotel room wishing I wasn't so tired so I could go out and see the sites. Last night my 12 year old got tired before me!

Question..for the three days a week for the C25K app do you guys do it every other day? or do you take one time with 2 days in between?

I am definitely sore today! But switching up my cardio has helped this week..I was thinking of doing the next run on Sunday which would be 2 days after my first run.

I just try to get it in three times a week. Sometimes I only manage two and get to day 3 in the next week. It's not a race.

I run every other day or every third day. Some weeks only 2 times a week. Sometimes I backtrack and go back to a previous week. It's all about listening to what your body needs. The best recommendation that I have is if you are struggling to complete a day, slow your pace down! For example, if you're running at a 4.8, try 4.6 or even 4.4. My pace was a 4.0 when I started! People would pass me walking! Don't be afraid to go slower especially when you're just starting out. I wouldn't even worry about how fast you're going until you've been running 6 months at least. Also, if your legs or knees are hurting, shorten your stride.

Same with me guys not everyday! this week I did Tuesday and Thursday so I will wait until Saturday or Sunday for my next one

Just for that imma going to do it tomorrow!!

(But yeah your right most likely Sunday)

I think I am going to do Sunday..I fly in the evening so it will feel good to get on the plane already worked out for the day.

That has to be so exciting! That 5 minute runs right?

Yes, I'm telling myself that I've already done 2 5 min runs in week 4. It's just a few more, right!?

For those that are in the Seattle area' date=' I would not mind running around green lake on a sunny afternoon. It is about 3 miles around and there are always runners and walkers circling the lake. Anyone game? It does not need to be fast; we can just jog and chat, perhaps holding a mocha in one hand. [/quote']

One day I'm going to take you up on your offer. I can't say when but I love the Seattle area and I know I'll be back there again some day.

Week 1 Day 2 done!

Not wheezing after and didn't start flagging until run number 6.

Going to feel great to get on the plane knowing I have worked out for the day!!! Heading your way Fiddle, going to be in Portland!

Good job I've done two days this week so I need to do it again today. I'm gong to try and do it now because I'm super stressed out getting ready for our vacation tomorrow.

If you have time, and the transportation to, be sure to visit Multnomah Falls near Portland. It is beautiful. And if you have even more time, visit Canon Beach and Seaside on the coast (about an hour drive west). An interesting trivia fact is the movie Goonies where the Pirate ship sailed out of the rocks was filmed there. Oh yeah, I am a child of the 80s!

We spent 4 days in Canon Beach last year. All I can say is....I was definitely checking the want ads and real estate section. I'd love to retire there.
