    Thanks for the invite!!! I use this site and my Pinterest "Weight Loss Motivation" board currently. I am not a runner, but do have a desire to become one. I downloaded the C25K app on my phone....hoping to start using it soon. If anyone has any helpful suggestion to get me started, I'm all ears!!!

    just follow the program, repeat any days or even weeks if necessary.... and above all, go SLOW - it's not a race.. you're working on being able to run a long time, not run fast (that will come later)

    Emphasis on the fast part! You can injure yourself trying to run too fast. I think that's how I strained my hip or groin!

    Great to have you in the group! Considering that you like running and you are downtown, you might check out the "Back on my feet" pinned thread... The program mentioned in it would be rewarding for someone that was close by to one of the places that they run out of...

    Hi, thanks for the invite. I started my weight loss goal at 262lbs. I found mfp halfway into it and it helps so, so much! I was down to 175ish, but broke both of my feet a few months ago. I was in casts all Christmas, so as you can imagine I back slid some. Back up to 184. I literally just went back to the gym this week (la fitness in fishers). It's slow going, but I am to get back in it.

    I am excited about this group! I think it's going to help keep me motivated!

    Hi there! I am new to the group. I grew up in Columbus, but now I live in Edinburgh. I do work in Columbus. I work for a diesel engine manufacturer that is one of the largest employers in southern Indiana and has its headquarters in Columbus. Gee, can you guess the name of the company?? Lol.

    Thanks for the invite! I am doing the Shamrock Run on 3/16 with my husband. I'm not much of a runner, but working on it. Love doing the run/walks and will be signing up for Race for the Cure on 4/20 and probably a few more this year.

    We did Wine at the Line at Mallow Run Winery this past October. Had a great time and will look forward to that one again!

    I'm assuming that's the downtown Indy Shamrock run?
    My wife (kathyazach on here) and I did Wine at the Line last year - 5k. We're definitely going to do it again this year, except I plan on doing the 5 mile run... I was pretty upset by all the walkers at the front of the line at the 5k. I couldn't get to a decent pace for about a mile into it, and they kept yelling at us for passing into the left lane of the road - so I shouldn't have that problem with the 5 mile race... other than that I had an awesome time there :)
