@SAfricaChick excellent—100 miles! maybe I will do that next month @Stoshew71 beautiful pictures and i enjoyed seeing your Facebook and reading about your story! Also, thanks for all the videos, excellent. I watched most of them and practiced what they suggest. absolutely important. @kstar_lee i am not an expert by any…

@karef i actually decided to stick with 5k and to try to improve my pace! Next race will hopefully be a 10K :) You're doing so good! Go get them :)

@mwyvr beautiful pictures @skippygirlsmom definitely nice shoes @karef go for it, that sounds so good. maybe i should try to change my 5k (a week from now) to 10k, I feel am ready too @JoRocka that is awesome, congratulations! @suzu_2 welcome! @MamaMollyT congrats, and the two kids, awesome. Okinawa, wow! @kristinegift…

Thanks @karllundy I think running is the sport that I should have got into earlier in my life. I do think it fits my personality to a great deal. I did a 5K race last weekend and I was running 8:19 per mile.

Wasn't planning on running today, but then remembered it's my three month running anniversary (7/9/2015), and so decided to go on a shorter, little, shakeup, 5K run *i say that on purpose to tickle myself :) used to be out of breath running 20 seconds, no exaggeration* @krdews how exciting! good luck with the run. let us…

@Stoshew71 That is an excellent explanation of recovery runs. Thank you so much. Everybody seems to have done wonderful things. I need to go through the great number of entries. I will tonight. My week was crazy busy! Ugh! Here is a picture of one of the places where I run in Madison, WI. Anyway, here is the running…

W12d2 5.61 miles

10/1 4.75 -- I would like to do 6+ miles in the coming days, so, am resting tomorrow! 10/2 rest day 10/3 6.51 -- first 10k, longest run (time), and farthest run (distance) 10/4 rest day--this was a horrible day, could not get any exercise done and felt miserable 10/5 no running, but good elliptical workout 10/6 5.53 --…

@shanaber and @kristinegift thanks. got it. i will go out and do my recovery run now, as a matter of fact !!

113. I trust it will be consistently below 100 in a month or two !!!! Here is to wishful thinking :smile: Excellent numbers @BarneyRubbleMD

@Elise4270 congrats. That is awesome. Too bad w the chafing. And nip chafing is really nothing to laugh about :smile: it's a real thing, believe me.

@ddmom0811 huge congrats. Ur description makes me want to go for a run :smile: happy for u and how great it is to run w ur daughter!

So, what are recovery runs? I take it they are shorter runs done the day after an especially longer run? Now, what is an especially longer run? Would 6.5 miles count a long run? Often I feel I need to run for a couple of miles they day after. Does that count?

yeah, tell me about the whining :smile: i am doing another 5k in a couple of weeks, Oct 18 and after that i will shoot for a 10k! but, like you, 10k is probably the max i will do, at least for a while :smile:

b210k w12d1 done. can't wait to do a ten k and then an hm! @moyer566 when and where is your 10 k race?

10/1 4.75 -- I would like to do 6+ miles in the coming days, so, am resting tomorrow! 10/2 rest day 10/3 6.51 -- first 10k, longest run (time), and farthest run (distance) 10/4 rest day--this was a horrible day, could not get any exercise done and felt miserable 10/5 no running, but good elliptical workout 10/6 5.53 --…

@jburke141 and @zcb94 why do you get so concerned about lower sugar? In other words, I thought sugar in the 80s is excellent, but you seem concerned when you have that, am I missing something? Mine 101 today! @BarneyRubbleMD excellent. you're killing it!

@kristinegift awesome pictures. really. are you sure you didn't pay a professional photographer to take them :) *just kidding of course*

I have to check if Madison, WI has a Hogwarts Running Club for my kids :) Indeed, very cute!

103 today

@annekka Excellent runs. So, it's the fourth already where you are? You must be in the far east, eh?

@kstar_lee Awesome work and congrats. I did that not too long ago--maybe 7 or 8 weeks ago-- and remember it well.

I see you ran out of routes and had to go in circles, eh? :smile: Awesome job. I am not sure I'd ever be able to run the long distances you're running, but, hey, that's okay too :smile: Seriously though, watching from here motivates me to no end! And, @kristinegift your runs are amazing too. I can't believe you run twice…

@moyer566 Excellent! Finding my stride makes me so happy when it happens! W12D1 -- I kind of created my own w12d1, walked 5 minutes and then ran Ran 6.51 miles in one stretch!

@Stoshew71 @kristinegift Thanks. I will check the carb loading / diabetes question with my nutritionist. I don't think I need to worry about that yet since I am not aim at running long distances, not yet at least 10/1 4.75 -- I would like to do 6+ miles in the coming days, so, am resting tomorrow! 10/2 rest day 10/3 6.51…

On Carb Loading: For those who know: Any suggestions for diabetics where carb is indeed the enemy :)?

Thanks @ftrobbie and @taeliesyn! Happy to join in the fun. Here is my first post: W11D3 done with 4.75 miles.

And, here we begin again. Love this group. You're all awesome! 10/1 4.75 -- I would like to do 6+ miles in the coming days, so, am resting tomorrow!

Hi, everyone. New to this group. I completed c25k and finished w11d2 yesterday, September 30. I just heard of this group (thanks @taeliesyn and @moyer566). A great idea. Everybody seems to be doing great.

@taeliesyn on my way :) thanks for letting me know of the group. had no idea. @moyer566 did you mean the bridge to ten k? am joining as we speak :) Everybody else, you're doing awesome!
