I am also running another half marathon in May.....4.5 mile mud obstacle in May....and possibly tough mudder in October.
good luck on journey. you have already done an amazing job. you've saved a life, yours!

I'm doing my first half in a few weeks and Warrior Dash in May! Good luck on your runs!

You're looking awesome man! I have been working on my running for the last couple of months with the goal of entering a 5k (it's only been about 50 years since the last time I can actually say I "RAN" anywhere. LOL), and I do find it to be fun! I never thought I would say that! Good luck with the rest of your weight loss, and especially with the 5k!

Anyway I'll add you. Imalso as looking for more supportive friends! I finished c25k in march 2010 and it totally changed my life. About to start training for my first marathon.

I was a couch potato too!

After running my first 5K, I got addicted. This year I'm entered for 3 half marathons, a 10K, an 8K a 6K and 4 5K's...and not looking back.

I found a running club that utilizes the Jeff Galloway training method and my time and performance have improved by leaps and bounds!

I was reading your blog last night as a matter of fact....you are an inspiration for sure!

I am starting C25K on the 1st - I HOPE - I'm also doing 30DS and I may have to crawl through my cardio days.

Way to go on your success & best of luck to you on your journey!!!

It helps you become a runner over the course of 9 weeks. It walks you through step by step what "running" activities to do to be able to do a 5K (a little over 3 miles). It's fabulous!

There are a few apps out there, I had the one that Bluefin created (http://www.bluefinapps.com/)... It starts off slow and SLOWLY works your way up... If you have trouble with a week, just do it again.
