    Everyone keeps talking about the Polar 6... I looked it up and it's looks to be a good buy. I don't know much about HRMs??? Do you wear the chest strap?

    I've never been a jogger - what's a good way to get started if I were to want to try it?

    First, get good running shoes. :smile:

    And I know there's a program where you run 1 minute, walk 1 minute, run 2 minutes, walk 2 minutes, etc..but I don't know what that program is called. :tongue:

    Once you get into it, it's addicting as heck! Good luck!!! :drinker:

    Also - google "beginning running" and it will pull up a bunch of great stuff plus some different schedules to help you get started - there's also a "Couch to 5K" program that people on here have talked about.

    I'll have to check them out. I've gotten New Balance for my last few pairs & I really like them. :heart:

    See, now I wear saucony's, it's a matter of preference between saucony, and New Balance, but they just fit me better. Never did like the Nike's, they just never felt like they had enough support for me.

    First off YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hadda nice run in today. I did somewhere in between 3.5 and 4 miles before the near 80 degree heat got me(a half hour) I have to get used to the summer type weather we are having and I will be fine. I did a nice paved trail near where I work. It had some gradual grades some steep ones as well. I finished it with a jog around a horse track and back to my truck. After I got home I watched some movies and did an easy mile to return them and walked back....if only every day were that good... it feels great doesnt it?????? again good job!!!!

    Thank you americanwolfdreamer! Great job on your run today! If wish we had some hot weather, feels like freaking winter again!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    I love my Asics running shoes. Never one blister, really comfortable for my wide and deformed feet lol and they never let me down.

    My running preference is a brand called LOWA they are made in slovakia(which is better than china anyday) they are kinda pricey but I bought em off ebay. They are specifially made for trails and rouger terrain they are incredibly comfortable

    Hey girls!!!

    Well, I did it!!! I included a 6 minute jog in my workout this morning on my treadmill. I know that doesn't sound like much but my heart was pumping!!! I will try to keep this up and work up to higher times.

    I am sure glad I did that little jog cause I feel great! Not to mention that I needed the extra cals - my co-worker asked if I wanted to eat chinese for lunch. I agreed - not the best idea - my cals are almost all gone for the day. I have about 300 left for dinner! I guess it's popcorn and a diet soda for supper! haha!

    Thanks for the inspiration for the jog!!! I will try to keep it up!

    This is so awesome!!! I'm so glad you are so pumped up. Running is very rewarding because with every extra minute you run, you get more and more motivated. Plus, you can increase the amount of minutes you run fairly quickly every week.
    Popcorn and diet soda sounds so good to me! lol

    I was able to get out this morning at 5:30am by myself. I've been putting it off because I'm a big chicken to be out there alone but it wasn't bad at all. By 5:45am it was already light out and I ran around my neighborhood twice (took 54 minutes). Running is so cool!!

    You rock girl!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
