You can add me as well.

Probably not.

Just finished my third week of a 5k training plan...I'm about half and half now. Half running half walking.

Ok, I'm going to start small and do 25 miles as a goal for this month. I will see how it goes, if it seems like I'm getting through it faster, I can always up my goal. Since this will be the first time, as last month I joined half way through and didn't really track much. Next month I will set a higher more challenging…

What a wonderful Cheese Cake

Yes, many years ago. Have you ever walked into a pole?

You're right it would be nice to see who wins and what they have accomplished.

If you can motivate me...your in.

I could use some friends for motivation...please add me if you would like the same. I'm not new to running but it's been a few years. I'm 49 now and would like to run a marathon next year.

You can add me as well...I also have 50 lbs to lose and could use support as well. It's always easier with a group of people going through the same thing. We can all be here for each other.

I just jumped in here a couple of days ago. I finish my first week 5k training plan...It's not much but it's a start.

I think I got the ticker working

Hi, I'm Carmen...I used to run but stopped for a couple of years. Just started a program to bring me up to the 5k level. I'm also trying to teach my dog to run with me...a little extra motivation, perhaps? I've always wanted to run a marathon, hoping I can achieve my goal by next summer. For now though, I'm sticking to the…

yeap, why not!

sorry, but it's a no for me.

Don't let it get you down. Remember, what you have already accomplished is awesome, focus on that for the day. Success never comes easy but it will come to those who can push through the bad times as well as the good. I too get disheartened and have a lack of motivation at times. I was depressed for over a year and felt…

likes to travel likes the beach carefree spirit

Hi Jim, I read your profile, I too retired from the military and gained weight. It's a hard thing to adjust your eating habits after you leave. Yes, I have some beautiful places to hike, walk or run in my area. I live near a national park in Nova Scotia, Canada. I use to run frequently but stopped for a couple of years,…
