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

Week 7 Day 1 done. I ran the whole 25 min so I'm happy. Finally feeling like I might actually become a full fledged runner!

You go girl!!!!

Took a couple of weeks off from running to let my wonky foot rest. Repeated W4D3 on the treadmill today as a test. Seemed to be okay, but am going off to the ortho today to get a shot. Plan on running my first 5k in about 8 years this Saturday with my girls, IF the foot behaves. It is a trail race so I won't be pounding the pavement. Hopefully it will happen as this is one of my 3 BIG goals for having this surgery.

UGH..Ortho says bad heel spur and stress fracture in the foot. No running for 1 month, not even on the treadmill. New orthotic, says my good foot might not take much more pounding...bummmed. No nsaids either, just have to keep icing it. I may still try to run on Saturday though....not a all happy....

I'm so proof of all of us! Who'd a thunk it, us, running!?

I did it! I can't believe I went from 8+8 to 20 in 2 days. This app is crazy awesome! I forgot to stretch tho. I wonder how much damage is done. "/ I've never forgotten that again. I wanted to see how fast (er, slow?) my mile was, and I dknt think its too shabby.

I cried when I finished- couldn't believe it!!

Sorry about your foot. Hopefully resting like your told will heal it back to running perfection.

I got that app but I'm not sleeved yet...

That is great Amy! Good progress over the last few weeks and it really shows. As for stretching, it makes a world of difference to do it before running in addition to a good warmup routine. If you would like some suggestions on warmup exercises others then a slight jog, let me know.

Thanks fiddle! I haven't been stretching before running because I read articles that said a lot of running injuries were because of pre run stretching. I'm all ears though, I'd like to know what works for you. I know when I was researching chi running there was a very colorful character showing a group of people some stretches. I think maybe its only necessary to go to that extent for really long runs? Or maybe not since 20 minutes to me is long. *shrug*

I do the ttapp workout and at the beginning she has a primary back stretch that also stretches your legs. I thought about doing that before I run.

Ps- when I say "run" I mean "jog" my 8 year old son is all too quick to remind me. Lol. So when you suggest a 10 minute warmup jog I have to giggle cuz a 10 minute jog would be half of my "run". Clear as mud?

I am starting week six tomorrow. Why does my app refer to it as "the dreaded weeks six?"

5K Sat morning. Picking up packets tomorrow. Color Run (I'll be walking fast). Will see if my husband suggests any more 5K's in the future. He is not happy about the color. Ha !Ha!

Best of luck and have fun.
