Ok, I tried this once before and got way to eager. I started moving quicker than designed. This time I will follow the guidelines.

If you are not familiar with a Couch to 5K, it is a plan to go from not running at all to running 5k (3.2 miles) in only 2 months. It is very doable and such a great feeling of accomplishment. I ran/walked a 5k in May and it was one of the most rewarding things I have done in many years.

Here is the link to the info.. If anyone is interested in training together just join in.

Cool Running :: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan

We will start on Monday, June 29.

Let's get ready to MOVE!!!!!!:tt2:

LOL. Yes, I will keep posting no matter what! Wonderful support here!!

All you out there that haven't been posting, come back and post....no matter what! We want to hear from you.

Anyone know where Bonnie has been????

I found it!! It's "LITE" (LADIES IN TRAINING through EXERCISE)

Lyn came up with it! I didn't think I'd ever find it, lol!

I still love it!!!! LITE That is exactly what we are.

LYN, Where are you anyway??? How did that interview go on Friday!! You keep us laughing. Hurry back now..

I am still here. That's right; we are the LITES!!! I am still running Tuesday Thursday and Saturday. I am getting nervous about my stupid committment to run the 1/2 marathon Oct 19!! I know it is a run/walk - but it is 13.1 mile - holy cow what was I thinkin'.

The interview on Friday went great. They are interviewing other people this week. I don't know anything about them. I hate waiting.

Kathy did you hear anthing about your interview?

I miss Bonnie too.

Getting ready to watch bigest losser.

I ate too much again. Damn it!

I love this thread too. I've connected so well with all of you, and you have motivated me to accomplish such a huge goal. I really don't post anywhere else. I've visited a few threads, but don't have the connection elsewhere, nor do I really want too. So if this does dwindle... then I'll be the sad person out there in cyber space twiddling my thumbs! LOL.

This is now so much more that a running thread for me. When I have good news... after my DH, you guys are where I go to share... same with bad news! Let's keep it up! We have such a great knack for motivating each other!!!

Bea... sounds so challenging... way to go!

Georgia... thanks for finding out acronym... I was going to say I knew Lyn came up with it, but couldn't remember... LITE!!!!

Renewed... you are kicking his butt!!! My advice... log a whole bunch of miles and then claim the challenge over so you win! LOL! No I never cheated on board games!!!!

Lyn... glad to hear the interview on Friday went well. I'm crossing my fingers that its yours! I hate not knowing! I haven't heard anything else from today's interview. But did hear from my contact that the people last week really really liked me. So I'm hoping and praying this is the one. I really liked the woman who I met with today, and by the sounds of things, its a great place to work.

I took today off from running. I had a Psychometrist here today to test my DD... IQ/EQ testing to find out where she's at developmentally. She's almost finished the testing and its been going so well. Sarah has fetal alcohol syndrome (thanks to her birth mom :eek:), which will cause her a lifetime of issues. So to help her get the services she needs at school, we've been having her tested for all sorts of things... sensory, behavioural, IQ/EQ, motor and speech. The bad news is she doesn't have the basics (no clue on #, letters or colours) the good news is she's almost age appropriate on concepts. So teaching her the basics will be difficult, but not impossible and that will help her continue to progress. I've always believed she's a very bright little girl, and this just proves it. She's learning challenged, not learning disabled! My little miracle girl!

whew.....just got caught up on the thread, take a day or two off and 4 pages have been posted.

renewed - just been texting w/hubby, he said i'm a wuss if i dont' go ahead w/the tri......so not one to let him call me names., i'm going to do it:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Monster Triathlon - Keller, Texas

congrats on all running

kathy / lyn on the interviewing, been thinking of ya.....

have new pups that were born yesterday...i keep popping in to make sure they're breathing, my mom flew in from FL - "to help"....she just wants to steal one...back to the gym tom after a day of smelling puppies

pics attached:

Good for you Luluc. I would so love to do the tri with you. Maybe next year. Yeah, I was wondering how those people managed to run in costumes. I think not.

Renewed, I just noticed you put LITE in your signature. Cool! I think we should all put in our signatures. Our own little club, lol.

I was afraid if I didn't put it on there then I would forget it again, and that can't happen. I think we should all put it on our signatures as well. We are quite a crew!!

Is that another thing we have in common.....forgetfulness, lol! My hubby says I need to eat more fish, lol. It's supposed to be good for your memory.

LOL, I do think we were separated at birth. LOL

LOL...me too!! Oh, I put LITE in my siggy!

Too cool, I love it.

Ok, I am going to see if I can go to sleep now.

Goodnight.

Me too. Goodnight all!!

LITE for LIFE!!!!!!!

I did it, I am so proud of myself - I ran 3.5 miles without stopping. My 1st real 5K!!!!!! I graduated from Couch to 5K..

I love this thread and all of you (runners high!) When I start here I could only run 1 minute at a time in between walking. When I got to mile 2.5 I thought of all of you and how good it would feel to be able to tell you about it.

I feel like you all live in my neighborhood we chat over the fence! Your faces smiling in my mind pushes me on when my right hip says : "We are old , we should stop, we cant do this" I see all of you saying " yes you can" Keep going one foot at a time. thank you all soo much.

I will change my signature today to reflect my LITE affiliation and my graduation!!!! Luv, ya (gotta get back to work) Im smilin though!
