Hi guys! I'm back. Life happened... lol. (Mom with surgeries to remove cancer. Moved cities. Now I'm looking for a job in Nashville. Hiring?) I started the C25K again and I'm at Week 4 Day 2! It's not as fun as the first time, but I have so much more confidence in myself. I've been running on a treadmill in the gym at my…

I was going to suggest trying to order from Asia, but they might not have a large variety of boots st your shoes size. Maybe try France?

Daddy....

:o Wow!!! Did you have a shirt on over the sports bra?

Do some research on proper running form. Maybe film yourself and then adjust it. Also, check out your shoes... they might be the culprit. Lastly, maybe slow it down.

Slow and steady is the way to go! You'll be amazed! This is hard to imagine now, but soon you'll realize that running is a mental challenge. Trust the program. Keep it steady and at a conversational pace and you'll be done before you know it!

C25K is the best! You're amazing! How tall?

I did it! I can now run for over an hour! However... I do have a suggestion and that's to follow the program. I'll admit I've rushed it and I've very recently come to the conclusion that, although I CAN run longer than what the program says I should, my calves are having a hard time keeping up without constant aching. I…

Hi! Congrats on your loss! I understand it's frustrating that it isn't as much as you had hoped. The more you hang around here the more you'll see that this is a very, very common topic. I might even say it happens to a majority of people. I can with confidence say it happens eventually to almost everyone. Don't worry too…

Thank you! I hated it as a child. :D

I need to do laundry, but... because I'm human... I decided to put it off. Ended up putting on a pair of underwear I avoid because it's uncomfortable. I was so surprised at how differently it fit me! It really drove home that I was losing weight. :)

Smaller portions.

Four months in :) I know this isn't much, but I'm excited. :D

You have a lovely figure!

I've been using Fitness22's 10K trainer. :) Update: Guys... I went from having the best run ever to the worst run ever. Today's run was just... mind numbing. And frustrating. And achy (calves again....) I only did 20 minutes before just walking. I suppose it didn't help that I had a long, terrible day and had very little…

I have been using Fitness22 for my 5k trainer and 10K trainer and I couldn't be happier. I LOVE it.

You have the whole rest of your life to run. A few weeks to heal won't matter. :)

Girl! I let slip a GD (that's what my grandma calls "goddamn".) Wow! You're seriously smoking hot!

Fitness22 has a 5k pacer app. I'm very satisfied with their other apps.

I ran for an hour straight!!!! I'm 70 days away from starting C25K. The body is an amazing thing!! I still have about 2 more miles before I'm ready for a 10K. (My goal distance.) I think I'll do a 10K pacer app and try to squeeze all 6.2 miles into an hour. Then onto a half marathon. ;)

Well... I was supposed to do Week 11 Day 3 which was 25 mins running, 3 min walk, then 15 mins running. I hit 25 minutes and I decided to just continue until I hit 2 miles and then I figured I'd stop. Well... then I thought another minute or so and I'll be at 30 minutes running. Then I thought... well... I'm on a downhill…

Says I don't have permission to view your blog. :(

Sword and Scale is so well produced. I'm not typically a true crime person, but I really enjoy this podcast. It's one of my all time favorites.

Slow it down. Even if it's as slow as walking speed. I started off at about 275 with my C25K and I had to run very slowly. Now I'm training for a 10k. :)

This is your jihad. :D

Week 11 Day 3 25 min run, 5 min walk, 15 min run. I feel like this isn't much different than my C25K runs. I took the dogs out with me! My new dog isn't the best with staying near me and at one point he disappeared for a scary 5 mins. After that I made sure to talk to him when he was thinking about running off... that…

This is my goal! I started C25K late February. Can I ask how much you weigh?

"My Dad Wrote a Porno" for comedy "Sword and Scale" for... well it's intense and slightly scary. Compelling. "Dr. Drew Podcast" for medical misc education. I listen to news as well. Might want to look up your favorite radio show and see if they have a podcast.

I know... is he doing a water displacement test or something?
