  • My SO works away all week....... he made it to the house on Friday before I was done at the barn, and when I walked into the house in my riding pants, he hugged me and said "wow, you look skinny!" :blush:
  • I went out over lunch today with a co-worker.... she joined me last friday for the first time (she has only been on the job for 4 weeks). She is an accomplished runner but hasn't really done anything over the last couple years. I actually really enjoyed having the company. I had a slower pace as she is about a foot shorter…
  • @TheMrWobbly I have issues with that and it can be very inconvinient! hope it feels better soon!
  • hi @sfinsc I have noticed i run the best at about 10:00 but unfortuately that is unrealistic for me. So I have to MAKE something else work..... I know around here you would have to be at the school before 7:00 as football starts at 7:30. Happy Thursday!
  • W3D1 done :) Was thinking I had W2D3 to do yet so was a little thrown when I realized I had to run for 3 min..... I did it but it was proverbial uphill for both runs :neutral: Happy Tuesday!
  • yay..... made a point of getting out over lunch today! flipped back to W2D3 to benchmark and I did ok..... it was a little warmer then I would like when i have to get back to my desk, but being friday not many around to care :) Happy Friday!
  • I compete with my husband! It is really easy to set up for the first time On your phone go to sharing, and if the person isn't in your contacts then you can hit the + at the top of the screen and invite them (it will give you suggestions) once they are populated in your list under sharing then you can tap on their name and…

  • I am thinking the same thing, even though I was at a horse show for 5 days last week (Wed-Sun) and yesterday off to allow for my "horse show hangover" I think I will attempt W2D3 on the treadmill as it is supposed to be hot today... it has been a tough couple of months for me to get the momentum into consistency! Oh…
  • @TheMrWobbly but you did it!!! Great job... don’t worry if it was a day late... I wonder if getting stuck in with the group run you maybe ran a bit faster then you would alone... hopefully your looking forward to starting a new week!!
  • @emmamcgarity I have thought of that but I am limited on time during my lunch hour at work and have to allow for eating and cooling down before I get back into my business clothes, so I have to have everything down to a fine science :) It is also heavy industrial so I am lucky there are sidewalks on the whole route but…
  • Just got back from W2D1.... added an extra run as I was still quite a ways away from the office. My ankle held up 95% so that was a relief. I keep track of my runs and was fairly consistent with my splits and managed to get 3.5km in. I will have to plan how to alter the route in the coming weeks to be able to get the…
  • @ABNana2614 hi! Where in Alberta are you at?
  • @Just_Ceci Great work! I have never actually looked at Rundouble..... what made you use that app? I know you are quite an accomplished runner.... do you use it in tandem with another app like zenlabs etc?
  • So nice to see some new runners :) @savannahs21 how are you feeling today? @TheMrWobbly which app are you using? how are you feeling today? Drink lots of water! How did you make out with starting @matratazola, @nkolpean, @galeroke? @grebber1 come join us.... @rachelr1116 did you get a chance to head out with your son? What…
  • I second the hip stretches! Also, just stretching in general....... I had this issue going on too, mainly from previous groin strain or injury from riding but it surfaced when I started running more. I know that the Running Room here in Canada does a great learn to run that is a bit different from the C25K program where…
  • Congratulations all you graduates :) <3
  • I was cleared to start running again by my physio, so I did W1D1 on the treadmill last night.... and it went ok. I will try again tomorrow as it feels ok today, and I have my last treatment in the morning. Probably do W2D1 and see how it feels but start back at W1 on Tuesday during lunch if the weather holds.
  • @didans hows it going? Are you still following the program? @tslawson3 you are now a couple weeks ahead! I see you jumped over to the July 1 discussion too...... how are you finding it? @frannie_h20 Still at it?
  • I’m still lurking... I have been cleared to start running again... I am just heading out at 7:30 to see how W1D1 goes....
  • Hi, I should be a restarter! Just 2 more physio appointments and I will be back at W1D1......
  • W2D1 done...... ankle was temperamental by the last run! but I got it done. Cardio was good just mechanics were a bit off! Not sure if I will run at lunch next week as the temperatures are going up and I am the type that sweats after I finish so depending on work load and meetings I will see what happens.
  • @squirley13 @bradleys8299 how are you two doing?
  • Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a good weekend..... @didans I did not run on Friday, we had snow and rain and cold all day! YUCK! I rested my ankle instead and ran on the treadmill on Saturday instead........everything seemed ok. I will try and get outside tonight to do W2D1. How did you make out?
  • W1D3 complete, packed a different shirt today so I was better prepared. It is supposed to be cold and rainy on Friday so may wait until Saturday... or do it after work when no one cares if I am a drowned rat. Happy Hump day!
  • Yay! @didans good job on getting it done when you didn't feel like it! I know all about that, the first step out the door is always the hardest! Stairs are a killer.... but once you build a base it should come easier! Tomorrow is your day.... and you will be 3 for 3 this week, what a great start! Do you think you will go…
  • @didans We are using the same program :smiley: Hopefully your session goes well today! I work outside the home, but we have a set lunch hour.. so I change right at noon and head out, then it leaves me 20 min ish to eat, cool down and change back into my work outfit. I used to do it all the time but this is a new job for me…
  • W1D2 done over my lunch break! Need to pack a bag a bit better... but it’s a start! New week, new month.... new goals!! Happy Monday!
