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:

Luluc... UGHHHH! How gut wrenching! Ok... just laugh it off! If it was me, I'd probably lose my voice due to the sonic screaming and the contractors would be deafened!!!

i cried tdsay night - hubby let me for about 10seconds then talked me off the ledge. contractors ins is taking care of it all; just a huge mess to live around while we deal w/ins - more contractors - water restoration folks....UGH...LOL

the one good thing - hubby and i built a Kennel off the property (we're on a ranch - shy of 50 acres)... heating/air condit, just checked on my dogs *6* and i have bugs bunny on tv on for them... all pased out. such a relief they're not running about thru the mess....ah another day;

Welcome health! You'll be fine. I was never a runner but I love it now. Good luck!

Kathy~WTG! I wouldn't worry about time right now. You have plenty of time to work on that. You are doing great!!

Renewed~ Sounds like you and your kids had a blast!! Good luck tomorrow!

luluc~ Ughhhh! That would be a disaster to live in! I'm sure you'll look back at it later and laugh it off.....or maybe not, lol. Anyway, hope it gets straightened out soon.

I did my run at the gym this morning. I've worked up to 15 minutes straight. I didn't weigh today so everyone keep your fingers crossed that I weigh 230 tomorrow (bandiversary). I want that scale to tell me I've lost 100 lbs!!!

Thanks luluc!! I can't believe a week ago I was struggling to do 5 minutes! Even if the scale doesn't say 230, I'm still proud of my accomplishments. Thanks again!!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you Georgia!!

Luluc, YUCK!! what a bummer!!

5K is in the morning. Going to bed early for my very best run. I SOOOOO want to run the entire thing!! THe run is at 7a. I will let yall know how it goes once it is over.

Good luck Renewed!! You can do it!! I can hear the Rocky music already!

Off to run!! Can't wait to come home and report.

Georgia, I just know you will be down to 230 this morning!!! You have accomplished so much in the past year!! You are amazing!!

I DID IT!!!!!! I ran the whole thing. And my time..........Are you ready...........29:20!!!!!!!!! I am so pumped!! I finished 4th in my age division.(Ist through 3rd get prizes :thumbup: ) Anyway, Tony and Dalton finished in 37 minutes and Dalton (my Son) placed 2nd in his age division!! He got a trophy!! DH said on the way home that he would like to start running and be able to run the whole thing. OMGosh, I NEVER thought I would here those words. What a great morning. I reached my goal and did it with my DH and sons. It can't get any better than that!!! I am so pumped!!

Dh wants you all to know that he was pushing the baby in the stroller or his time would have been faster. He is crackin me up!! He just figured it for me and I averaged 9 min 24 second miles.

:thumbup: I've officially lost 100 lbs!!!! :eek:

I'm soooo excited! I got up this morning wondering what the scale would say and wondering if I would be disappointed if I didn't make my goal. I weighed 230.1! What a wonderful Bandiversary!!

Renewed~ Wow!! You rock!! I knew you would do FANTASTIC!! You, my friend, are simply amazing! Great job!! Did you get pictures? If so, I think you should post them. Again, congrats! Oh, did you hear Rocky music? LOL

WOOHOO GEORGIA!!! YOU , my friend, ROCK!!!!!!!!!

100 pounds in 1 year is nothing short of amazing!!!! I am soooooo proud for you!!!WOOHOO!!!:thumbup::biggrin::eek::biggrin::biggrin::cool2::biggrin::tt2::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

I knew you would do it!!!! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BANDIVERSARY!! Take time today to think of how different you are than 1 year ago. Even with the struggles and plateau the changes are undeniably amazing. So blessed to call you friend!!!

OK, I am sad to report that the rocky music failed me today. I was sucking so much air, I was focused more on breathing. Maybe next time. DH was running so I didn't have anyone to take pictures, so no I don't have a crossing the running line picture. You will just have to take my word for it. :thumbup: I meant to ask someone to take pictures for me, but I left the camera at home. A lady took a picture of me shortly after the race. She was taking pictures to post on the website, so if I make the website I will post a link.

I DID IT!!!!!! I ran the whole thing. And my time..........Are you ready...........29:20!!!!!!!!! I am so pumped!! !

FANTASTIC renewed - VERY proud of you, you've worked extremely hard - enjoy the glow:thumbup::thumbup:
