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

Wow - lots of stuff going on tonight.

Nike+

The best way to explain this is to say google it or take off to Nike.com.

As for calibrating. I did that at the gym. I think I set the goal for 1 mile, then set my ipod to calibrate. However, my sister also had a problem with her's at first, too.

10 worst foods - I am happy to report I am clean. Now, if you start talking about sweets, I would be in serious trouble.

Later!

So the Nike thing looks pretty cool. you need the certain shoes for it right ?

Mindy

Not even. Several folks have come up with an alternative.

I use one more like shoepouch.com At least in my mind it offers a little more protection for the sensor. I got mine from Amazon.com. A quick search on there and a ton of stuff, including the Nike+ package will be at your fingertips.

Another one is lacelid.com

I have also seen them tucked into the laces an taped on. I guess that would be a quick, cheap fix.

Oh I like the shoe pouch idea a lot better . I need new running shoes but if i dont like the Nike ones that's a great alternative !

Thanks

Ok did day 1 of week 2 last night!!!! The first couple of jogs hurt the shins a bit but it just sortof evened out after that.

My daughter is still the whiner of the bunch - even beat out me with my TOM and having to run.

I think I'm clean on the list, but I'm a little curious about the Starbucks Frappucino...can't seem to recall if maybe I MIGHT have indulged in one of those on a hot summer day.

I'm starting week two on Thursday. It's weird to wait two days to start the next week after going gung ho for the first week. But, I'm not going to press myself because that always leaves me burnt out.

Sorry, Minday.....I know you don't like the gamer talk. I take full responsibility for bringing it...actually, wait, you brought it up when you mentioned WOW the first time. Whatever.

Im so excited ! I just bought a new pair of running shoes at Run Tex ! $114 my husbands going to KILL ME . But they are COMFY !

Gotta go use them !

Mindy

Yay Mindy!! what kind are they?

at least with new shoes you'll be able to run away from DH!! :heh:

Mindy

I was talking the other day to someone about a "reward" for weight loss of 60 lbs I guess that was my reward LMAO

I Run Tex here in Austin and they watch you walk , you tell them a little about how and where your running and they "fit " you to the best pair of shoes.

They brought out a pair of Nikes and these and they were very comfy .

So it was worth it

Mindy

Ok I got week 2 day 1 half way done and my husband walked into the room ( I wont run in front of him ! LOL ) SO Im going to finish , do over in the AM )

MAKES ME MAD , they (My boys and DH ) KNOW better then to come into my room when the treadmill is on ! UGHHH .

BUT I did get about 15 mintues of it in . Not bad a little more burn than week 1 . My new shoes are great ! Definite difference in how i feel running than in my old shoes !

Mindy

Mindy....I can't wait until you're over that...I bet it makes DH (so weird to call him that) proud to see you moving. I know my "DB" (that's even weirder) feels that way!

Well, I already confirmed with "DB"--we're starting week two together tonight. I gave him advanced warning yesterday so that he'll be prepared. I dont' know though--he's really struggling with the same thing you and everyone else in CenTex is--the cedar is off the charts and the boy just CAN'T breathe!
