Marion, Congrats on completing your 1st and 2nd weeks!! We have a group started that are slightly ahead of where you are, but we're a great group and we all help encourage each other... and the plus side is you can get advice from people who have finished the weeks you are working on!!! Keep it up!!!!…

WTG!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: My 20 minute is coming up day after tomorrow. I redid W5D2 3 times.... this morning I took my time.... and my 2nd 8 minute run which I couldn't complete the last two times I kicked it out and kept going for an additional 4 minutes for a total of 12. I was stoked!!!…

LOL LOL LOL WTG!!!! Good luck with W5!! Kill it!!!! :happy:

I am praising God for my snooze button this morning. A runner was attacked this morning 3 blocks from our house on the route we always take. If I hadn't have wanted "just a few minutes more" it could have totally been me and/or my husband. A neighbor let us know what had happened (the police had just left before we got up…

Hey everyone I am back.... I was MIA sick as a dog W-F had a hugely successful yard sale on Saturday... worked all day church on Sunday... was lazy monday but kicked *kitten* on my W5D2 run this morning FINALLY!!! I hadn't been able to complete the second 8 minute run the last two times I attempted the runs, but today I…

WTG!!!! Fabulous!!!!

Woohoo!!! Nice job!!! You'll do great!!! I can't wait to move past W5D2 cuz I'm stuck!!!! LOL I can't fathom 20 minutes straight!!! Jolee is my hero right now!!!

OK so I went out this morning and still didn't finish 2nd interval, but I did get A LOT further... only cut off at 90 seconds left... I didn't know it at the time until I stopped... I should have just pushed through but I felt queasy and stopped... but it's ok... I am still going to be happy I got way further and the first…

WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Foxy girl I haven't had to repeat a week yet but I am going to repeat W5D2 because I totally did everything wrong the morning of that run... got through the first 8 minute run and then crapped out on the second. It's all good though... Just repeat as needed until you reach the end of the program. If you would have asked me…

hey Jolee.... We had a stupid crazy weekend and that coupled with not feeling motivated to run yesterday or this morning I am having to do my run tomorrow. I should have just done it this morning, but Michael and I both tossed and turned and by the time I woke up I was like grrrrr so I'm going in the am for sure!!! I am ok…

Worst run ever.... got through the first 8 minutes but barely... and got through 2 minutes of the second 8 minutes and ran walked the rest of the way.... i am so disappointed. I am obviously going to repeat this one tomorrow. I don't know what was wrong.... I did a lot different so maybe that's the problem I always run on…

Well done!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!

Exactly!!! You'll probably run more than you think you will as it's a really great motivational environment. You can target people ahead of you to pass... and then another...and another... it makes the time pass quickly :) :)

That's awesome!!! You rock!!!!!

Fantastic!!! Great job!!!!

OK So my total at this point is 10 lost. I am midway through my second week. I sort of fell off the wagon today and had a piece of toast with peanut butter, an small apple with cheese, creamer in my coffee (that was the lowest amount of carbs at 8 :embarassed: ) but my run this morning really just kicked my tail. I am…

Ohhh can I have the recipe for those mashed cauliflower... I have it sitting in my veggie drawer but haven't done anything with it yet!!!!

OK So I almost didn't run this am... but I went to check my mail and my sport armband was sitting in the box so I HAD to try it out!!! It was so much nicer than tucking my phone into my bra strap LOL. I spent ALL DAY yesterday snacking on sunflower seeds and then dinner which had a higher than normal sodium level with the…

Hey Jolee...sorry for taking so long to reply... I didn't look at the message board this weekend. I use mapmyrun.com and it tells me the mileage and then I input the time it took me to complete and it calculates how many mpm. It gives you the average as I don't split my walks and runs into separate catgories, so it's my…

I feel a lot of it does have to do with the way you feel about yourself too. I am not saying that people don't treat you differently, because some do, but it seems to me that if you hold your head high, meet people in the eye, smile big, and love who you are regardless of what weight you are, that you will have greater…

When I tried running first on a treadmill I licked out 2 miles no problem... when I took it to the road... not even .25 of a mile without DYING!!! The treadmill moves for you. The ground does not. I have heard that sidewalk payment is the worst thing to run on as there is no give whatsoever. With asphalt or road running…

Just finished W4D2 this morning. End of next week is scaring the tar out of me!! OMGoodness!!!

San Diego Baby!!!

Chesapeake, VA !!!

This one takes the cake!!! Adorable!!!

So I did W4D2 and felt like I was going to puke after my second 5 minute run, but I didn't quit and kept pushing until I was done!! When I got home and logged my distance I knocked a whole 1:14 mpm off my pace from two days ago. I thought I was dragging so I kept pushing to get through, I guess I pushed too fast and that's…

LOVED THIS!! Monchhichi Monchhichi Oh so soft and cuddly With a thumb in your mouth she's really neat Fun to wiggle his little feet Ya ya ya Ya ya ya Happy happy Monchhichi

16 was the age for all of our kids. They balked occasionally, but not badly. Everything was in a group anyway, so they spent time with "the other" eventually anyway, but in a pack.

This is so lame... but mine was 976-Evil. I've never been able to get that out of my head... Or Pet Sematary... UGH!!!
