The thing is, I wanted to see if you, as experienced runners had different opinions as my coaches, because after all, they are actually the workers in the store~ so I'm not sure how qualified they are to be coaches. Don't get me wrong~~~ I appreciate them a whole lot. They have been there every step of the way, encouraging…

This is a group photo of the beginner class of runners from the local running store.... We were invited to run with the seasoned group after week 12. So from weeks 13-18 I ran with them, and the seasoned runners had three groups 1st group was under six minutes runners. That group had about 15 participants in it, and they…

Any suggestions? I'm not a music person~ so I don't even know what would be a mellow song~~~~~ heck, when I run, I can't even talk to my friends, let alone sing!!! But that seems like a good idea

I've always wanted to run a marathon for as far back as I can remember. So when a friend invited me to watch a dualathon he was volunteering at. I was changed when I seen an elderly man who appeared to be in his 60's or better, extremely overweight, and in the top ten participants. It made me think that if he could do it,…

I'm thinking this because eight weeks ago, the thought of running for three miles seemed so daunting of a task for me, because I had only been working on trying to learn how to breathe when I run, that I hadn't realized that I was already covering two miles on a regular basis just through my practices.... So isn't it going…

If you practice running all the time on a regular basis, doesn't your body get used to the runs~~~~ making a 10k, or half normal?

Good to know.... As a new runner~ I'm not sure what are realistic goals or not..... I just know, most people that run with my local running store all run on average six minute miles.... I can't ever imagine getting that fast, so I compromised with the ten minutes~~~~~ but maybe that is a stretch for me!

I wish~ I tell people the truth as I see it~~~~ I have participated in a 5k, but I haven't "ran" in a 5k. I had tried that app, and it didn't work for me, because it wanted me to run for two consecutive minutes for the very first day, and I could only handle ten seconds... But like I said, I adapted it for my own needs,…

I am looking forward to adding you all to my fit life family. Add me so we can encourage each other.

I know literally nothing about reading labels, knowing what carbs are, knowing what foods have protein, nor what is healthy...... I just know the first day we started, I was embarrassed because all we could handle was walking the parking lot~ and here it is~ four weeks later, and the minimum dont go to the water door walk…

Feel free to add me as well.... I need all the help I can get :)
