Outstanding! Congratulations

If they exist, sidewalks.

It depends on how much running you are doing now. If you are not doing any running at all, that's probably not realistic. Most C25K programs take 9 weeks to get a new runner to 5K. That would leave another 9 weeks to get from 3 miles up to 13. Can be done, but will take a lot of focus and dedication, and some luck. That's…

I have one, and while I doubt it's 100% accurate, I don't see the fluctuations that other people are talking about, so I do think it's good for trending, even if the number itself is probably not accurate.

Echoing the last bunch of posts, but either you want to do this, or you don't. If you don't, then don't. If you do, find a way to take some of the good advice you've been given. 1. You can't train to run a race without running. Period. So if you want to do this, accept that and make that your mindset. You can cross train…

Agree, bundle up and get out there. Once you start running, you'll probably find you are quite warm. I've been out in sub-zero temps and after a few minutes overheating can be a problem if I started with too many layers. Try it and adjust, but you'll be fine. Also, once you start, you won't want to stop each winter, so…

A great start, good luck on your journey

You should be able to do this. I've found that one can safely increase your long run by 1 mile per week. This won't injure you, so to go from 3 to 13 in 13 weeks shouldn't be impossible.

Put it in the breakroom for others to eat. Make sure the person who gave it to you knows you are doing it.

I had a problem with mine about a year ago, and got someone on the phone at Polar tech support who told me to take the batteries out of both the transmitter and the watch for 3 minutes. Sometime when you change them in one, or change them quickly, they get out of synch or something. Seemed like nonsense to get me off the…

That is awesome, you should be so proud of yourself!!!!!!

Good luck on your goal, there is nothing like finishing your first marathon!

That is fantastic, congratulations!

That is fantastic. Congratulations, you should absolutely be proud of your accomplishment!

Don't wait, go run and have fun. First, you probably won't be the last one across the finish line, and even if you are - so what, you still beat all the people who sat on their couch and did nothing. Second, it's fun, who cares? Third, it will help you get faster. And remember, those of us at the back are having more fun,…

According to my HRM between 300-350 is typical. Occasionally a little more, occasionally a little less, but that is where I typically land.

Absolutely not. I'm a hiring manager and there are two problems I would have with something like that. First is that unless it is related to the job you are applying for, you are taking up my time reading irrelevant information, and that would make me question the applicant's judgement and I'd wonder if I was going to…

That is absurd. I would definitely find a way to report him to corporate HQ

That is awesome, congratulations. And I hope everyone who is afraid of running in public reads this and learns.

Couldn't agree more

2004 Twin Cities Marathon. I'd started running two years previous to that, and that was the first organized race I entered. My parents came up from Florida to watch, and it was such a great sense of accomplishment to make it to the finish line with my parents, wife and kids all there to cheer me on.

I agree 100%, I want to know every day so I can know which are the outliers and ignore them. If you weigh once a week and on the first week it fluctuates down on that day, and then on week 2 it fluctuates up on that day, you have a completely unrealistic picture of what's going on.

Congratulations and great lessons learned!
