    Went for my walk today and got chased down the road by 3 dogs that live in the same house as the one that bit me 6 months ago. The owner came out and chased them down and apoligized for the dogs. She told me that they got rid of the dog that bit me but they got one from the pound that is teritorial and doesn't like dark hared people and does bite . That sucks for me because I am a brunnet and I run the road atleast 3 times a week. The ladiy told me how to get the dog to go away but still it makes me nervous to run the road again.

    The strange thing is that as we were talking we started to talk about mny running and how she lost 70 pounds over the past year using B12 and B1. She told me that it can raise your metabolizm. Has anyone ever heard of that?

    But I got W1D2 done now I might go back to running at the local track

    Hi everyone!

    Are we still following this thread? I did my first today, W1D1. I did it outside during lunch time. It was nice to be outside even though it was a bit windy.

    There definately is a difference running on the threadmill vs outside.

    I am heading out to do W1D3. I have been trying for the last two days to get it done, but my schedule has been pretty hectic. Great job to all of you for getting out there and sticking to it. I will check in later to let you know how it went.

    W3D3 is done. So tough, only hit 1.75 miles total...My hips are aching from doing a side step type motion on the wii fit today for my 30 min of free step, but new sneakers did help the calves.

    Anyone have any breathing tip? I felt like I could NOT catch my breath at all..

    I do! I did up thru week 8 of the program this summer - and quit before I got to week 9. That was July - and since I live in the south the temps were over 100 and the humidity was over 80% and I just couldn't hack it. It's cooled off nicely outside now, and I'd really like to start back.
    I plan on starting back with week 1 (taking it easy!!) Sat or Sun. I'll add you as a friend!

    I completed W1D3! It seems to be getting a tiny bit easier. I am a little bit nervous about week 2 but I am also excited. I will do W2D1 on Sunday. I downloaded a podcast to my ipod and it made it a lot easier to follow. I didn't have to constantly look at my watch. I am feeling pretty good now!

    I did W2D1 today. I was a little nervous, but it wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be. During the workout I felt great but afterwards I was beet red and a little light headed. Anyone know why that happens? I am glad to know I will be able to handle week 2 pretty well! Happy Halloween everyone!

    I tried to start today, but my shins began hurting very badly, does anyone out there have any tips to prevent this? I stretched for about 10 minutes before my run so I don't think that that's the problem. It might be that around my university I mainly run on concrete which is maybe too hard? Should I lose more weight before continuing? I finished it up by walking 2.5 miles so I at least got it in, but I don't want to do something that will end up damaging my legs, any ideas?
