I want to start the couch to 5K program , does anyone want to start it with me on Monday or Tuesday ? I would like to even double it up , so I can finish it in 4 weeks? But I'll see how it goes at first?

If anyone wants to start it with me please let me know

Thanks

Mindy

Whosya, thanks for your post, I'm digging the running gig (hey did I rhyme, must be exhausted). TXG asked the same ?'s I had,

Stranger how awesome does it feel? I ran again today and I'm sucking less wind each time. Wombat, you rock doing this outside..it's snowing here, due South of Dallas - have to get out w/the dogs to enjoy this years 2 minutes of snow. Take Care All!

Go Giants!!!

Well done Whosya! Glad to hear from you, too. So are you a Packers Fan? You kinda have to be right?

As someone who has been through the C25K Program - can we ask some questions about your running?

How often do you run?

What is your longest distance?

How long can you run without a walk break?

Just wondering.

Nope i moved up here from Philly area so im an Eagles Fan. But im excited for the people around here.

You can ask anthing you like

I run 3 - 4 times a weeks sometimes as much as 5. My longest distance is 5K right now...(3 miles).

I run 35 mins without a walk break pretty much everytime.

Hi everyone , Just wanted to pop in and say Hi, My training is on hold for now . Remeber my "allergies" that were giving me problems for a few weeks. Well I kept getting worse and kept getting worse and it moved into my chest. I went to the doc yesterday and I have pnemonia So i dont know what is going to happen. I will have to start slowly again I guess ? As for the race coming up My goal now is to just finish it even walking. So just wanted to update ya'll im going back to bed !

Love

Mindy

Mindy I hope you get well soon!!!!

I didn't run again... I spent all day painting my childrens' rooms. I lost half a pound just today. I will be doing week 3 next week so I can put in my time. I still may have to spend an extra week at this level but we'll see once I actually run it.

And LULU - It's stinkin' cold around here!!!! I am freezing right now and it's 70degrees in my house. Me and being outside isn't working so great right now lol

Yea Stranger!!!!!! My DH has done the run and he felt great that he did it (exhausted - but great!).

I Know What You Mean...i Do A Four Mile Workout Everyday Of The Week..no Excuses....i Also Work Out With Weights...i Have Seen A Big Difference In Weight Loss...

Howdy all! Mindy - sorry to hear you are down for the count for a while - take care of yourself. the flu and pneumonia have been running rampant down here for about 2 weeks now. I am scared to even shake hands with people at this point.

Welcome Big as Life!

So Tuesday is my birthday (not the news) and went went to Houston for a quick shopping trip (there is nothing in Victoria - still not the news.) I made a stop at Luke's Locker running store and was fitted for a new pair of running shoes. They were awesome at the store. And I ended up in pair of Brooks Dyad 4 - right at 90 after tax. :biggrin:

They feel so awesome. And I found out why my feet sometimes go numb when I am running. The answer is so simple I am flat embarrassed. My shoes were tired too tight!

All of that said, if you have not been to a running store to be fitted, it is well worth the time and money. I learned quite a bit just from the lady who fitted my shoes.

OK - gotta run - really, I am going running in my new hardwear! Here is wishing a great Sunday to all.

Mindy take the time you need to get healthy, no use pushing, to only get sick again..feel better.

I completed wk 3, but will more than likely have to stay here one more, which I'm OK with. DH wants to get going to the gym, and this might be a "pass" on running day - I'm a little sore. I REALLY like the idea of getting fitted for running shoes, maybe I can work that in soon (still hiding the fact of spending $230 this wk on sports bras)..LOL.

Wombat - it was 23 this AM when I let the dogs out. Didn't they say this would be a MILD winter?

Happy Wk 4 (or for me 3 again)!

I have been kinda doing this without knowing what I was doing. I would love to participate.

welcome mymommy!!

Thank you. I was banded 09/28/07 so we are close to a starting date

Yeah - another runner! Welcome mommy!

Ok super excited about this. Did these in Decmeber and im alot thinner than these but heck!

Very Neat!! Was banded the same day as DH, and I'm so glad we're doing this together. Congrats to you both!

Lulu

Who knew we had a star among us !!! :tt1::tt1::smile::tt1:

So I spoke to my doc today about running the race.

He said that I probably wont be 100% for about another week . Given the race is in less than 2 weeks Im thinking actually running the race is not looking really good. I tried to even walk on the treadmill today and though i would die, that is when i called the doc. he said not to try to exercise until next week. So Looks like i'll be walking the race . I'll try to run a little.

I guess my new goal will be to run the one in March ??

Im frustrated now . Aggervated and tired of not feeling well.

Im feeling a little better, was able to get out and take my oldest to an appt today .

OH We had to take my 6 yr old to the ER last night, he was running a 104.9 fever that I could not get to break . Turns out HE's got walking pnemonia , luckily he's not in near the shape I was in AND he has an ear infection .

Anywho . Im glad to see a newbie joining . And everyone else doing well.

Love

Mindy
