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

Oh snowboarding is ruff

Everytime you fall its ALWAYS on your Butt. Make sure he has a good Butt PAD

YES !! *he does have a butt...:embaressed_smile:" hee hee....

The snow pants he bought look like a down comforter. Snowboarding just appears to be too much work, I bet I find his A$$ in the lodge on lift 9 having some wine after his first run:)

yep i bet you do... it looks very cool but its just not as much fun as skiing. Of course i was a teen when i did this and thats when snow boarding was just getting popular.

he will be a crying whinney baby at night and youll have to kiss it all better i bet! Well that would be me anyway

Is it home time yet?

Thanks Lulu and Whosya on the weight loss!! I get really frustrated when my scale doesn't move - grrrrrr. I know - the #(*#%&^ scale is evil and I can't stay off of it!!

My new mantra - I'm gaining muscle - I'm gaining muscle - that's why I'm not losing weight. Oh yeah - I need some fairy dust ...

Have fun skiing Lulu!! My DH wants to do snowboarding next time we go. Scares me a tad and NO way they are getting me on one.

Last time I went (13 years ago) I fell down after the first trip up and had to be ski'd down in a body bag - nice. I'm hoping I'm a little more coordinated now so next time I won't hurt myself!

I am so glad to have my C25K family. Today was week 3 day 2 and I DID NOT FEEL LIKE RUNNING. I decided to go to the gym and had talked myself into just doing the eliptical--pick up the program again later. Once I arrived at the gym, I figured that I might as well do the program. So I just decided to run a little slower. It worked--as I finished the program--all that I could think of was wdaddy's encouragement....I could just think---I can't wait to tell my C25K family--that I pushed through. Thanks for all of your encouragment. It's good to have someone to be accountable to....

I hear that, bigbaby! And speaking of which, I just got back from the gym and wanted to announce loud and proud,

I JUST COMPLETED WEEK 9 DAY 1!!!!!!!

That's 30 minutes of running! I actually did 32 minutes because I wanted to see if I could. That damn gym was so hot and I was sweatin' like a stuck pig, but I DID IT!!!! Hurray! :rolleyes2:

Fantastic STRANGER!!!!!! Awesome news, thanks for sharing!

I had talked myself out of running today, till I came here this AM w/my coffee - No excuses now:)

Have a good Friday all~~

I ran Week 5 day 3 - 20 minutes!!!!!!!! I was really unsure if I would make it but I did :cool2: Still did my sprint at the end - but started tiring out with 15 sec left - had to slow down right at the end. I knew I didn't have the energy for the sprint but tried it anyway.

Have a great rest of the weekend!

Hey friends:

I have completed week 3!!!! YEA!!! YEA!!!

*****Colton--saw your pix on another thread--looking good!!!!

Yea Bigbaby!!! You are doing awesome!!

It's amazing to look at how far we have progressed on this program!! I asked my sis today if she had started it yet. Said she did day 1 once - her lungs hurt for two days afterwards so she hasn't done it again. I remember day 1 and the gasping/heaving for air just for a 60 sec run!!! And look at us now!!!!

Have you posted progress pics? I've looked at so many on the before/afters thread that I don't remember if I've run across yours or not :eek: I so love to put a face to the names on here!!
