I started the couch to 5K in May and ran my first 5K in August. I was beyond nervous! I did learn a few things though. Start off at your own pace. I started off way too fast and felt like I was dying. I also learned that I run better on an empty stomach. Such a rush! I am certainly not the fastest runner, but finishing is…

I am 4'11" and was 172 when I started back in May. It was soooo hard at first, but like others will say, it DOES get easier. I am running 3 miles now with no problems. Happy running!! :)

I run 3-4 mornings a week. As others, I set out my gear the night before. When that alarm goes off at 3:30, I try to find every excuse not to get up. But in the end, I always do. Feel too guilty if I don't! I am a huge fan of running in the dark in my little town, so this time works perfect for me. It is also much cooler…

I will have to agree with that. 34 degrees at 3:45 this morning and I was in Heaven!

Good Morning. Good for you for wanting to jog/run. I have only been running since May so I probably can't offer the best advise out there. I did the Couch to 5K program. From someone who has never ran before, I swear by this program! There were a couple of the weeks that I had to repeat as I did not feel comfortable moving…

I am a mom of three and my husband works second shift. Because I am the only one home at night, I get my butt out of bed at 3:45 four mornings a week to be dressed and out the door by 4:00. I go for a 45 minute run and come home and get ready for work. At work at 7:00. Work ends at 3:30. On the days I don't get up at 3:45,…

You are off to a great start! Friend me, I love motivated people!!

I swear by my Enell bra. I am a 42 DDD and run almost every day. A little pricey, but well worth it!

Bum first, wish the boobs would go though!

You are absolutely adorable! Great work, you should be so proud!!

Im with Andi. I use the Enell as well. The girls don't move at all!

In bed by 830-9 and up at 3:50 for the morning run. On days I dont run, I sleep till 5:00 and go to the gym after work.

wow, you amaze me! Please add me as a friend. I need some inspiration!!

Started the C25K in May and ran my first 5K in August. This is from someone who has never ran a day in her life, except in high school sports. I now get up three mornings a week (sometimes four) and run 2.5 miles each run. I wont say I love running, but is something that I never thought I could do! I totally recommend the…

Gallbladder attacks are the worse! I compared them to labor, but was really worse than labor! I actually was having an attack and went to the emergency room. They admitted me and had it removed the next day. The Dr. said that mine was rotting and that gangrene would have soon set in. Best decision that was ever made for…

Please add me! I work full time, have three kids, and a husband that works second shift. The kids are 13, 11, and 4. The two older ones are in a lot of sports, and its just me to run them around at night now since the hubs works second shift. I am left to do all for the kids in the evenings along with cooking. The only…

DAMN!

I started the C25K in May with the expectation of running in my hometowns 5K race in August. It did take me 11 weeks to complete the 9 week program, but I finished and I ran in my first 5K! I was dying in the beginning of the program but pushed through it. As someone said eariler, the biggest accomplishment is when you run…

Simply amazing! GREAT job!!

I found a great sports bra brand called Enelle. I am a 38DDD and with this bra on, the girls are going no where when I run and excercise. They are pretty pricey at 80.00, but well worth it!

Get up at 4:00 and do my 35 min run. Work from 7-330. Stop at gym after work three days a week for an hour or so.

Your last pic litereally made me tear up! You look so happy and your baby is adorable!

All I can say is WOW!!
