Just fantastic. I bet you feel every bit as good as you are!

This is fantastic. Congratulations!

Deven, all I can say is, "Wow! Good. For. You!" You deserve all of your success. Thank you for inspiring me. Onward and upward!

This from CarsonRuns above: "You'll have a better chance of liking it if you find interesting places to run and you slow down so you can enjoy them without feeling like your heart is going to explode through your chest. Slow and easy is the way to go." In addition to C25K, you can try Jeff Galloway.

"If literally millions of people have done this, so can I!"

Jack, I don't mind the longish post. I like seeing people think their way through things. It took me a long time to appreciate your Point #2. Good for you. As for how to make strength training more enjoyable, I have no clue. Good music, good podcasts, do it with a friend, enter some sort of competition...these are the only…

Wow, that really IS the coolest NSV ever! Congratulations on all you've accomplished!

You can do it!

"Try getting or borrowing one of Jeff Galloway's books, His mindset is for older runners." I would add that his programs are intended to help you improve slowly while enjoying the process. That is, they are intended to help finish your run/walks wanting to have done more. Good luck! You can do it!

I second and third all of this.

If you'd really like a push, there are some alarm apps that will do virtually anything to ensure that you wake and/or get up. For example, Alarm Extreme has settings that require you to solve math problems in order to turn it off, and even a setting requiring you to dock the phone in your car (!) to turn it off. Maybe one…

Is your boyfriend is a professional in the field of what you've been dealing with? If not, talk to those you have been working with, not your boyfriend.

Beachlover says it all, TL! You have been so inspiring. Thank you, and today I'm celebrating you!

So inspiring. You have every reason to be proud, Proud, PROUD. I hope you keep doing all the things that got you here. And I hope that you celebrate!

The FIRST? "The Little Engine that Could" ...

Great victory all around, Ben. Congratulations!

Melissa, that is just fabulous. The doctor's report and, especially, your happy dance! You deserve it!

Just fabulous. Good for you!

Good for you Ken. I hear you loud and clear about the doctor's visits!

The smile says it all! I hope you are as proud of yourself as we are excited for you!

Just a great job, Glenn! And a great way to head into February!

Oh now, LadyB! I'm so sorry to hear about that. I'm know you know this already, but it's much more important to get that things healed to meet a yearly or more long-term goal than to meet a shorter-term one. So first, "Do no harm." Keep us up-to-date!

Glenn, congratulations! That's a great, great way to start 2013! Well done!

Go get 'em, Krim!

Glenn, Lady B, and AlethaM, great job! I hope you all had fun out there as you were making your way through the miles! Aletha, a special shout-out to you for getting out there in what sounds like brutal cold! That's the way to stay committed!

For this week: 154 minutes walking/running Monthly Update: 448/450 minutes!! Going to make this one!

Glenn and LadyB, great job!!

Go get 'em, Krim!
