Couch to 5k.....come join me!!

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:

We don't actually plan to start building for about 5 years. we plan to do it in phases. We bought the land about 2 years ago. We paid on it unil the equity in the land is enough to do the improvements without more money down. Now we will pay on it somemore and use the equity to build. The improvements to the land also add to its value. The land is in the middle of nowhere, so we will have to put in a well for water, etc. That is what we are working on now. Then all we have to do is the house. The improvements on the land will all be done. The cool thin is that moving out there will decrease what we are paying in rent by 1/2 so we will be able to save. The trailer house is goign to be really small, but it will be worth it! We are excited.

Yep your right. No running for me yesterday. I spent the whole day driving. Yuck. I had to drive down to Chicago spend 1.5hrs there and drive back. I left at 8am and got back at 6.45pm.

I cut back my running a little. My swimming and cycling is suffering and i i really should be in heavy triaining for Triathlon season which is coming right up.

So yesterday i lifted weights and cycled. I am sooo competetive it gets the better off me. I was starting to not like running. And thats no good. So i am going back to my Triathlon plan of running every other day. and cycling/swimming and weight lifting the other days.

Keeping up with Renewed is MURDER!

Happy TIMES**** Went and saw the doc yesterday,down another 3 ibs.Still not able run like i want to,knee is getting stronger.Don't want to blow it out agian.So i walk/run intervals,straight train,and use the medicine ball.Learn alot and loving the new me..Everyone lets get out there and move it..

Renewed... I think Whosya is conceeding defeat!!! Oh, but there's still 1-1/2 weeks left, so you never know!

So when you move out into the boon-docks, will you have Internet access... heck, are ya gunna have runnin' water!

LOL, I'm just teasing! I'm so jealouse... I'd love to live out in the country and have a little hobby farm!

Charlie... congrats on the weight loss!

I look the last 2 days off running, and really didn't feel up to running tonight, but I did, and I'm really glad I did! I feel so much better now. Energized and a real sense of accomplishment. When I loaded my run, Nike+ told me that I've completed 50km since starting. The most I've done in a month is 38km in the past, so in 3 weeks I've gone so much farther. I'm hoping to reach 60km in the month! I know that's not super far like many of you go, but Its amazing for me and I must admit, I'm really proud of it! I don't toot my own horn often... but once in awhile :wink:

No running today. It was a bike day.

I got to organize my yearly trip to Montreal to..you just reminded me.

WTG Kathy!! Ya'll are doing great!!

I'm still watchin' from the sidelines :wink:

Hang in there! I feel your pain! Dont risk a run. You could be in for months of recovery if you do instead of just a few days.

Next time you run you need to be covered in bubble wrap.

i am heading to Bakersfield next week to Escape this -5F thank goodness

If you take blow bubbles outside they freeze before they hit the ground!!

Thanks Whosya... you just made my night!

Ohhh I'm going to try this... kids will love it, and I need to do something in this weather! It's -8F here but with the windchill its -26!!

Minxz... Welcome! You'll love this program. I got a good sports bra, one that was for "Active" sports. I think it was Wonderbra, but not sure. You want one thats going to hold the girls good and tight with no movement!

I think the cold weather is affecting me. I feel drained. A few people mentioned that I looked down or sad today, and my DH is convinced there's something wrong. I know its what I'm projecting, but I'm not sad, I'm just kind of tired and without the typical boundless energy and joyful spark. I don't know why, so I'll blame the weather. It's the Canadian thing to do! LOL.
