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

thanks...I was starting to ask myself if endurance was just a lie that I was telling myself to keep from running faster. However after starting week 3 today--I can't run any faster--the 3 minutes almost killed me. Extra chewing gum and a lady running across from me at the gym were my saving grace. I looked at her and kept the pace...I just imagined that I was racing her!!!

Your doing great!!!!!

I always look at other ppl for insperation. Chewing gum? does that help?

ok 4am time to get my fat a## to the gym.

Well, Feb has been crazy for me. I have basically been sick since the 8th. click below for my funny take on the whole thing. Mortals in Training: You can't make this stuff up!

I am hoping to get back on the horse later this week, but like Mindy said to me - I am going to take it slow. I basically will be back at week 1 when it happens. And I have my surgery next week. So - walking is really where I will be for a while. But all of you are so encouraging! I love keep track of each other. See you around.

HEy Tex...you make sure you check in with us or we are gonna miss you too much.

nice blog btw!

Good luck w/your surgery next wk TXG!!! Let us know how it all goes, ** who cares if ya have to start back at wk1 ** ..., so long as ya start back up...Take care,

i run along the river and the trails are so beautiful. i run with my dog. i dont know for sure, but i think im about up to a mile without stopping. thats jogging. the terrain can be sandy or bumpy. good workout on the legs........ i walk and then run again. all together im out for a good hour. my dog was starting to look like he needed a lapband , so we both are getting skinny........ i try to do 5 days a week.

Yea Tex!!! {{hugs}} for you

Ran day 2 of week 5 today - kicked my booty. I still did my last minute sprint but I really didn't think I had it in me. I was reaching to slow it down just as the time ran out so I just made it. :blushing:

YIKES - day 3 is 20min!!!! OMG!!!!!!

Good job Catz!!

Lapband for dogs LOL!

I think my cat needs one too!

I was thinking my Golden needs a lapband, she doesnt get the exercise the Labs do, in fact she's napping on my feet right now....Cute!

Wombat, think Whosya said that once you get to that part in wk 5 - it gets a lot easier.....I think it does~

yeah i def think it get easier.

I think week 6 i started to actually enjoy it (WEIRD)

Still got a Sinus headache ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Went to the gym did 30min run and 45min spin class anyway.

WE should get C25K t shirts made for when you fininsh it!

Im going to be in Florida next week and im thinking about actually running outside wooo hooo.

Went to the gym did 30min run and 45min spin class anyway.

You did BOTH?!?!?! Good Lord!!!!! Oooooh, I'm jealous - running outside in FL ... sounds Heavenly :thumbup:

Lol Wombat!

Yeah i did both at a slow rate to keep the throbing pain down in my head. Actually when i workout gently it helps get rid of it but when i go hard it makes it worse. Weird!

I cant wait to get out of the 5f weather. Your jealous of Florida im jealous of your 143.8 pounds!

Dont ever ever think an Arbys Chicken Salad sandwich is healthy! I looked this morning and found its over 700 cals! I about feel off my chair. THats higher than a Big Mac or a Whopper with Cheese!

No hot tub today though :thumbup: that makes my head worse too.

**SUPERSTAR** - lol, Love the idea of Tshirts:)

Wombat 143.8!!!!! that is fantastic - really it is...I'm "willing" the scale to get in the 150's but the scale is just plain evil!

Florida sounds wonderful - this seems like a long TX winter (albeit not like in WI) :thumbup:...Going skiing while your in sun Whosya, don't plan on running just ski & hot tub - .. Side note: On our ski trip last yr, I only did one run - was outta shape, outta breath, and miserable. I plan on shredding it up this yr..

Lu~

Yeah i really should take up some skiing next year.

I used to live next to a ski slope when i lived in England.

There is so much freaking snow here i should def take it up. Alot of ppl Snow Mobile but it just doesnt appeal to me.

Love skiing - DH came home last night with snowboarding "stuff". I'm like your kidding? You are NOT that coordinated, he gives a whole new meaning to being able to Walk & Chew Gum at the same time.

He played college Football - only knows how to throw guys around, I can't WAIT to see him try snowboarding ... Will make my trip:)
