This is my very first sober October; day 2 and I am worth it and I can do it!

Be careful babe, they will jump. But, that might guarantee a new PR

Grandma would have been so proud of you, just as I am!

i have no doubt that i will finish. when i do run my first 5k, I will be strong.

ofcourse you did! I hereby proclaim that you will own each and every session. Way to go!

for sure! looking awesome.

you got it. You will dominate week 4!

beer. always

I completely understand! You can do it though and feel pride in yourself for "going for it" . I have a big run today to complete week 6. Wish me luck.

i think that you can do it at any size, starting is the toughest part.

i totally agree! it isnt fun yet, but i am not dying. lol

yes, i have discussed it with my dr. thanks!

the moment that you stop worrying about others belittling you, and do it JUST for you, you have won! The instructor was a total jerk, and should find different work if they are not there to encourage and lead the class.

My father died at the age of 71 after 12 years on dialysis. It was a slow painful process for him, my mother and myself(i am sure for my brother too, but he did not live in the same town, so he did not see the progression as firsthand as I did). Amputations started at the foot; first a couple of toes, then half a foot, and…

thank you for your advice, I will take it to heart. I am definitely not sprinting, or running as fast as I can, but I will be mindful to sliw down on my next run day.. all the best!

I appriciate the council of all. thanks

I just want to run a 5k, keep fit and feel strong in my middle age years and beyond. Your advice is appriciated. I will try to keep that in my mind during my next run. It feels good to go fast though, so no promises..lol

yes, it is 90 sec run, 90 sec walk, 3 mins & 3 mins, then repeat. i feel pretty good running the speed I am ( i do take a slower pace during the 3 min run sections). If I am not injuring myself, which I place at a high priority, how is pushing myself to be as quick as I can, not a positive path toward my goal? Thank you…

thank you for you advice and support.

48.5 years old. High: 2009, 212 lbs Starting weight: 186.6 Current weight: 171.8 Goal weight: 170

about 278 calories. i burned a little over 3300 for the day yesterday.

I started in Jan. '17 and stopped after 2 sessions. I just completed my 2nd week today after giving it try #2. Try again, there is no shame. I feel like I can do it now.

finished week 2 of c25k this morning. It is 90+ F right now, so i am glad i got it in early. 2 lbs to go until i have achieved my weight goal! Have not been inbthis weight range since the mid to late 1980's.

48, getting close to my weight goal and have even started training for the first time in 30 years.

cause I'm old, bearded and secure.

Thanks for putting things in perspective. I have little to complain about in retrospect.

thanks!

it is suppose to be cold and rainy tomorrow; i plan on doing my run anyway.

looking for some friends as well. been working at mfp since the start of the year.

just started jogging fo the first time in 30 years; it was a rough week.
