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

Hi everyone. This is my first post. I would like to encourage everyone to continue with your exercise as hard as you can. As u lose your body will move so much better. Please go slow and listen to your body but push yourself to do some things You will be so surprised when u see that u can!!

Well said! Thanks for the motivation. I also am a strong believer in realizing your body is truly capable of great things. It is your mind that acts as a speed bump when not properly aligned with goals. It is also the attachment of emotion to those goals that will elevate your achievements. All things are possible.

Only 1 more week? Awesome! What are your plans when you finish?

I think I'll keep running or wogging as I like to call it... I'm looking for a 5k, probably won't find one in Denver anytime soon, but I work for an airline, so I'm considering flying somewhere participate in one. I'm having my panniculectomy and hernia repair on Nov 5, so that will slow me down for a bit. But I will have finished C w25k by then. Yay!

I'm 4 weeks post TT surgery in a couple days. So that means I'm 4 weeks away from my return to running. Shooting for a 5k December 22. It's a santa trot where everyone dresses up like santa. Should be a hoot.

Butter I wish I was recovering so quickly. I will try running again this week. Butt just still hurts.

Yeah....I've heard that lower body lift makes things alot more difficult. Don't hurt yourself. Eventually things will heal.

The 5K I ran today was amazing. The weather was beautiful and the race seemed to go downhill the whole way. I set a PR of 35:30. My former PR for a race was 38:45. The first 5K I ever ran was 45:00. Next race is a 10K in November. Hoping to run it in less than 1hr15min.

Wow, Dee! Way to go!

Sounds fun. Be sure to carry a sack of presents too.

Treadmill running is not really my friend, but this is WY and outdoor running will be a thing of the past all too soon.

So, I tried it today. Ran 42 minutes straight!

Ran 51.08 minutes (with a 5 minute warm-up and another 5 minute cool down). 3.19 miles and 156 floors climbed.

This is the longest time running ever! I never slowed down? Until cool down. (kind of disappointed I couldn't go that next .28 to reach the 5k at a run, but tomorrow is another day).

I started at 3.8mph, advanced to 4.0, then 4.2 and kept it steady there. Started at 1.5% incline, backed it off at 37 minutes to 1.0, then .5, then 0 for the last minute of the run.

It's all a mind game, and it has always beaten me, but dang it, the time is coming when I will be winning!!! lol!

Sorry for the long post, I'm just really excited!

I just completed week 5 day 3. I can't believe I just ran for 20 minutes straight. I was slow as molasses but I still can't stop smiling.

great job!

I've been struggling lately with some knee and hip pain' date=' but trying to run through it (not a good idea!). Took some days off to rest this week, but getting back on my program tomorrow morning at a local 5K. I'm still working my modified Hal Higdon plan for running the half marathon in February. I'm up to 5 miles for my long runs. Also, going to Maui and Lanai to celebrate my 1 year surgiversary with my sleeve sister in January and hoping to run the Maui Oceanfront 10K. Hope everyone has good runs this weekend![/quote']

Awesome inspiration!
