Those are some great suggestions, thank you.

Thank you so much! I love cottage cheese so it sounds like I need to start adding it to more recipes. I also especially like the taco recipe. Mexican food is my favorite! I really appreciate you sharing your ideas with me 😁!

Thank you, that’s very helpful.

And my goal is complete! I did 4 days or walking at least 30 minutes. I’m happy I did it.

Another walk in the books. One more to go for this week.

Just finished my 2nd 30 minute walk for the week. I hope everyone has a great day and can get some movement in!

Day one complete! 3 more days to go this week. 4/18 walked 30 minutes and just over a mile. I know to some, that is nothing but considering I couldn’t walk more than a few steps at a time last summer, I call that a win!

Welcome!

Thanks for joining me.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I gratefully didn’t have to do chemo treatments but surgery has been a long recovery. I need to regain strength and balance. I also want to lose more weight.

Welcome! Sounds like you’re starting out strong. I wish you the best in your fitness journey.

Thanks for joining us Matt!

Welcome. We have people at all training levels and I have already had some great feedback.

I have a question on hydration for longer runs. I usually have a water bottle with me on the treadmill and I haven't done any outside runs longer than 5k. At what point to you need to be hydrating? I know most runs have water stations but are those enough?

Thank you for your imput. I don't know how I would do with a running group. I am SO slow right now. I am afraid they would all ditch me in the first mile :)

Thanks for the link. I am one of those that ends up indoors more than I would like.

I did 1.8 run/walk today. My left calf feels really stiff and sore now though. Trying to stretch it out some.

Woo Hoo way to go!

I just have to get the shoes on and go...why does that seem like the hardest part?

great job! What do you teach? Both my parents were school teachers 4th grade.

Thank you that is helpful information. I'm it in for the long haul but I would rather build up a little slower and have less risk of injury. I know I need to remember to stretch longer before and after.

Thanks again. I'm not looking to be doing 5k in thirty minutes right now. I think this sounds reasonable for the goals I have in mind. I'm not really expecting to qualify for the Olympics or anything

Thank you!

Time is not a concern for me in this. I just want to finish the race. I'll give this plan a look...thank you.

I signed up today and have 25 weeks until race day. This sounds realistic to me. Thanks!

My name is Becky and the host of this group. I am 47 years old and weigh 241 pounds. I have battled weight issues the majority of my life. I few years ago I started running and that was the first time my weight actually began to drop. Unfortunately, my 5k training uncovered some other health issues I was not previously…

So I did 1.59 miles and I am alive to tell about :). The 1/2 I want to sign up for opens registration in the morning. I have a long road ahead but I am going to do this.

Good for you! I am starting at the beginning too. I just finished my initial run/walk.

I would like to join.
