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:

Kathy - Very nice. You have some great website making skills. Are you able to use those skills in your new job?

Went outside for a nice walk/run. 60 degrees but WINDY. My ears were burning when I got back.

Kathy - you are sneaking up on that 100 pound mark. :-)

Sugar... thanks. I don't really have much to do with the website in my new job other than to suggest what I'd like. The last was a big project which was great. I didn't do the techie stuff, just the strategy, ideas and content. As for that 100lb mark, it keeps eluding me! I run, run, run... but it stays stuck at 96lbs. I've been there since early Dec. Oh well, it will happen soon. Looks like you hit both of your goals... 100 off and in Onederland!!! Congrats! It feels great doesn't it!

Perfect day>

ready to get back to a regular week.

here is hoping everyone has an exercise-full week!!

Okay, are we still starting the challenge tomorrow? I'm new to the nike+ website. How do I go about doing the challenge??? I'm not very good at figuring this kinda stuff out, lol.

OK, I am so sorry I have procrastinated setting this up, but the challenge is set up and ready to go. You should receive an email inviting you to the challenge. All you have to do is accept the challenge and then log your runs. You will be able to click on my challenges and see everyones progress.

I noticed when I set this up that we can do team challenges as well. That might be fun to do sometime. We could break up into a couple of teams and then work together to reach our goals.

Anyway, here is who I have set up for the challenge:

Myself

Kathybad

GeorgiaGirl

Whosya

eclipse

MacMadame, when you get set up PM me and I will try and add you to the challenge.

If I missed anyone let me know and I will add you, or if anyone that is on the list doesn't get an invite let me know and i will try and fix it.

Happy Running!!

BTW, I did a 5 mile walkrun with a friend this morning and survived it. Too bad it wasn't tomorrow morning!!

Whoooo Hooooo on the 5 miles Renewed!! That's great!! I didn't get in a run today....Sundays are soooo busy for me. I'll be running in the morning though.

Thanks for setting up the challenge Renewed! I hope it keeps me motivated. BTW, the team challenge sounds so fun. We should do that next!

yahhhhhhhhhh im in!!

just to get you motivated here is our last one!

Anyway, here is who I have set up for the challenge:

!!

can you see if salsa wants to be in it??

I havnt heard from here for a while

I check her blog and she hasn't blogged since the end of October. I am really concerned about her. I hope she is doing ok. I don't have her email to invite her, but I will PM her and see if she wants to join us. Great idea.

BTW, Did you really have to show the results of that last challenge. LOL Man, did you ever kick my butt. It won't be so easy this time!!

I say we do what Kathy suggested....all of us team up against Whosya and we might win, lol. That will be the only way I win, hahaha.

Next time I think we should do a team challenge. All of us against Whosya! LOL

Whosya I'm glad you are such a good sport. We just pick on you because you are a man and because you kick butt!! But......you better watch out! Here we come!!!!

Man, I'm good at talking trash. Now to back it up!!

OK, I am really gearing up to get back on track with this thing. I have thought of something new I am going to do.

I am going to weigh every Monday morning and that's it. Here's the kicker...Each Monday when I weigh I will adjust my ticker to my actual weight, even if it is up. I am 7 or 8 pounds above my ticker weight. I have got to get real with myself, and my ticker needs to reflect where I REALLY am. I think this will help motivate me.

Anyone want to join me with a ticker update in the morning. A fresh start we might say. I don't want to have to lose 7 pounds before any of it "counts".

ANy takers??

OK, so my weight is up this morning. I knew it would be. I officially weigh 170. Ok there. Now to get the scales moving in the right direction again. Everyone have a great week!!

Haha.

I love it Renewed! I glad your all after me!! I dont think i could be everyone here though!

I was late getting to the Y this morning, i had a 5:45am spin class so i could only run from 5:20-5:45 so i made it count and ran as fast as i could because i knew you would be after me.
