Yes there is a c25K podcast but i cant remember the link. It only works on Ipods not MP3 players. I will try and remember. If not pls someone else put the link up.

Karen.......GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! Your SUPER Brave!!!!!!!!!!! I have only got up tp about 2.5miles so far and that is pretty much my limit right now.

Pleeeeeeeeeeaaassssssssseeeeeeeee let me know how it goes.

I got a 8am flight out of here back home tomorrow which means i got to get up at 4.30am. Stay up till midnight?????? i dunno.

Whos - I will be thinking of all you guys! Trying to get a pic of me running to post too! My sister has an early am flight - leaves the house at 515 - she is wondering the same thing! Be safe and Happy New Year.

I f(#*@)(# did it! All four miles! It took about 48 minutes which is about a 12 minute mile. WE took only one 1-minute break at the 2 mile mark for Water. It was by FAR one of the best things I have ever done in my life. My friend's husband got pics of us running and I will try and upload tomorrow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Karen / Whos I have a question for you 2. I just started running (Sunday - lol), and I really think I can ramp up (use to play college soccer). The question I have, did your weightloss really kick in once you started? I'm not sure if it's my 3rd fill or the daily running now, but it's starting to clip off. Not complaining, cause I'll just run till I can't anylonger, was just interested in the weightloss once adding running into the mix vs the bike / eliptical / etc. I was doing everything but run, and once I have - WOW.

Appreciate your feedback,

Lulu
