Hi. Well done for being on the right track, not sure I am, but trying anyway. Eating more healthily & nearly at the end of a runners beginners course

That's awesome, I was thinking lf starting couch25k. My end goal is Army Reserves so i have to start becoming a runner at aome point lol

Well I kerp being told its the best for all over exercise. I'm mad with myself that I did'nt measure myself when I started as I have definately lost inches, I'm back in smaller size jeans & legs/ hips & waist are looking better

I joined a running club, but that is what we do anyway, it started off doing one minute run, one minute walk 7x, I struggled to do the 5minute week, but guess what tomorrow night we will all be doing 22 minutes. I had a hip replacement done last August, never been good at sports & certainly did'nt thiink I would enjoy running, but I do.
Give it a go

That is really awesome. I have never been a runner and I would be so nervous to join a running club lol. Dear Fear of not being able to keep up. I definitely feel like it's a good work out and I would like to be able to meet all the run times before i head to boot so that's at least one thing I wouldn't have to worry about. I just gotta stay on oit. Maybe find a beginner run club

I started couch 2 5k...4th day I rolled my ankle...back to boot camp cardiovascular minus running. I'll do it again. ARMY reserves eh... nice.

Well don't give up, let that thing heal and get back on the horse.
Yea, it's been a dream of mine my entire life. I have always been the day kid and could never do it lol. I finally decided its time to take control of my life and do it before I cannot anymore.

That's super awesome. I don't even know you and am proud of ya . Yes I plan on getting back into it. I also bought a new set of trainers and I think they are harming me more than doing good. Should a stuck with the UAs. Do you have a set of goals to reach prior to joining? Like requirements?

Yes check your local area, do you have any shops that sell running shoes, they might know of a group, I went to a shop to have my feet measured & they did a beginners course. Dont feel like you would be left behind, I was the one at the back for about a month, but I was'nt left, I'm somewhere in the middle now & the person at the back still has somebody with them.
Anyway, I've just read that you went out on a run, so well done, pat yourself on the back. Its easy to get carried away too, so dont forget to hsve rest days.

Yea, I need to get down to 179 to meet weight requirements. But they also have a tape test that I know I could pass at around 200. But I figure the lighter I get the easier running will be so I'm aiming for 180

I think I'm going to look into that. I do know of a shoe store dedicated to running and athletic type stuff. I'm going to go there thia weekend and see what I can find.
I'm not running everyday, I'm going to follow the program and do 3 days a week for now. Once I finish the program I will see where I am at. I think I would rather keep running 3x a week and sprinkle in some insanity or p90x and weight lifting on my off running days
