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

Hey Lauren (and everyone) - due to a death in my extended family,

I have had to delay me start as well. I am going to start with day one on Monday this coming week.

Lauren its not to late. We are all on the first week /going into week 2.

Im still on week 1 technically since I have not done my third work out . I should have done it Friday but my whole freaking house is sick so i have had to take care of them . So im doing it in the AM .

So feel free to join in .

TexGirly: Sorry to hear about you loss.

Ok Today i reached 100lbs in 5 months!

Long way to go but thats a big chunk. I can lose about 4 lbs a week if i keep up my exersise now.

TexGirly: sorry to hear that, i hope things are going better for you....

on a lighter note i will start on monday with you!!

Way to go Daddy that is AWESOME .

TexGirly im sorry for your loss. Pick back up when you feel like it . We are here for ya

Mindy

TXGirly -, sorry for your loss.

Whosya - FANTASTIC...WOW.

Got my runs in this wk, and am off for vacation tomorrow. For the first time in FOREVER, I'm taking my running shoes...and will be in the gym every day if not twice a day. Have to work off a margarita/pina colada or 2 off:)

Have a GREAT wk all~

I would like to offer my condolences to TxGirl too.

Is it too late for me to join in??? I can start tomorrow.

ParaGirl , Feel free to join in .

Im really excited to start this. Starting this tomorrow!

Good for you Paragirl! The programm is fantastic! I went though the whole thing. Its awesome.

If you or anyone else need any advice i will help any i can.

Guess what? I went ahead and started tonight. It was harder than I thought. I have been going 45 min on my elliptical at least 4 times per week and this was harder and took less time.

The only problem I can say I think I will have is that I have had surgery on my foot, they cut the bottom of my foot from the end of my heel for 4 inches, right up the middle, and I know I have scar tissue and have pain. But I plan to just run through the pain and do this. I have always wanted to be a runner! I want the runner body.

Thanks for all the support you guys! And welcome papagirl. Looking forward to running in the am. Have a great night all.

Just finished my run for the night. I have one more to do for week One since i was a loser the first week LOL then I'll start week 2 on Tuesday . To get me back on track.

I have a question for ya'll ? What pace/speed do you have your treadmill set at when your walking and what do you have it at when your running ?

I set mine at 2.7 or 3 for walking and 3.5 for running . Is that ok to start with or do i need to go higher ?

Daddy you are the experienced one whatcha think ? ?

All, last year I was 52 pounds heavier and could only run for 1 minute at a time. I just did 8 miles Satuarday. Start with walking and keep going. It is worh it!!!!!

ok, you guys, i went to the mall saturday and got some running shoes..whew hew!! i was supposed to start saturday, but i'm running 102 fever. and i haven't been able to get much down (food or liquids) because i'm sick and swollen.

i know right..excuses ..excuses. if i were just running fever, i would try, but i have body aches and a headach from hell. so. i'll be starting a little later. for right now about the only exercise i feel like doing is tossing and turning in the bed (freezing then sweating, freezing, then sweating).
