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 haven't been talking much about the Nike+ challenge lately, kind of fizzelled I think for some of us... but the team challenge ended yesterday. Here's the results! Sorry for this Whosya... but the Hotties won!!!! Small victory, as it took about 5 of us to just 1 Whosya!!! Seriously, congrats to everyone!

There is only one challenge left ... maybe we need to start another one.

I'm near my goal, but I think I won't lose this week. Sigh.

I finally got my Nike+, but I was not sure how to get in on the challenges. I would love to participate - any extra motivation is good for me!

Ok... let's start another challenge... any suggestions? Teams or individual. I personally like the shorter challenges, like maybe two weeks, especially since the other one is a longer term challenge.

Let me know your thoughts and then PM me your email address and I'll set one up to start tomorrow!!

DH and I ran yesterday together. We did the race route for our April 5th 5k that we're running. OMG... it's hilly!!! I usually run in my neighbourhood or at another park and neither have many hills. This route seemed to be up and down constently! I'm going to have to train a bit on this one, more than just running distances. Plus, the race usually has about 2000 people (not all doing 5k, some do 10k and some do 1/2), but the path is rather narrow, so I can imagine its going to get a bit bunched up, and its an out and back, so being slower than most, I'm going to see all the fast people go by me and its probably going to get a bit tight! Ohhh I'm nervous on this one.

Definitely individual!

Ok, I've got Kristen's email, but no one else yet. I'm going to set it up as an individual challenge for 2 weeks starting today. Send me your email if you want in!

I'm in!

....

Hey everyone. I am on the 3rd day of the P90X and let me just say, it is kick butt hard. I am not goign to join the current challenge. Until I get used to this P90X thing I won't even be walking unless I have to. LOL It really isn't that bad. I really like it, but I am sore in places I didn't even know I had. I think it is good though..

I PM'd Geogia Girl to check on her. She wanted me to let all of you know that her little boy has been sick and now she is sick. She will be posting again as soon as she is feeling better. I pray that's real soon.

You guys rock!! Have a great week!!

Renewed... thanks for the update on Georgia. I was getting concerned! WTG on the PX thingy!!! I don't know what it is, but sounds challenging.

I hope the weather is as nice everywhere else as its been here! Sunny, dry and warming up. I went for a nice run yesterday in the park. So many people out doing the same... it was excellent. We took the kids with us and DH started off running and then took over the kids and I went for my run.

Kathy~ I am wondering where the spring in my break is. It is snowing right now! Argh!

Kristen... did you get your Nike+ invite to the challenge??

I just went for a run with my son... short but fun.

Oops, wrong thread.

For this one... I joined the challenge but won't run until Tues.
