I would print off the 20 week program, but remember you also have a life to lead and something always seems to pop up. Follow the plan but don't feel like you will fail if you miss a run or 2. 20 weeks should be more than enough to get you through. Good luck-

Sounds like you have some tendonitis setting in. You are going to want to deal with it before ramping up your training again or it will not go away. Double check and make sure you don't need new shoes, I feel it in my knees when it's time for a new pair. I also agree with training your core, and hip strength, I would also…

Go for it !!!! There is no better way to keep you motivated than a goal. Just keep doing C25K and you will do just fine. If this is your first race it's all about the finish, it doesn't matter if you walk none of it or all of it just crossing that finish line will give you the motivation to keep going. Good luck & Enjoy !!

I would google arm exercises for the different things you have at home, kettlebell, dumbells etc. They all offer different variations of the same exercises, that way you can keep things fresh. One suggestion I would make it whatever exercise you do make sure you work the opposite muscle group in the same workout. For…

I'm on almost every day also. Feel free to add me.

There's Rock N Roll Vegas. It's run at night, and well it's Vegas. There's also skirt chaser runs. They are only 5K's but the ladies get to leave 3 minutes early with the men to follow.

I agree that is depends on the person, but from my experience if I eat something with a lot of carbs or fiber I need to wait a lot longer before I start running or after about 2 miles I am really going to regret it. I usually only need to wait on the weekends when I am doing longer training runs so I plan the wait time…

My advice would be- 1. Follow the app, you are going to have good weeks and bad weeks 2. Buy some moisture wicking running clothes, there's nothing worse than sweating in a cotton shirt. 3. Sign up for a race to keep your motivation- I see you did that already so kudos to you. 4. Have run and don't worry about your age…

Doing my 4th half on May 19th. It will be my first one of 2013.

I was hoping to break a 10 minute mile but came up just short. I am blaming in on the weather since we haven't seen anything close to 65 degrees before Saturday. Overall it was a great day..:happy:

I have been told you can't win a race in the first mile or two but you can lose it. You don't want to start out to fast and then run out of gas before the end. I would find a pace group your are comfortable with and start there, if after a couple miles you feel you can kick it up a little feel free to run ahead. The…

You are starting off right by doing C25K. Follow the program and you will have a great base. To keep your motivation up, I would sign up for a 5k race . That way you have something to look forward to. Couple of suggestions I can make 1. Get yourself a good pair of running shoes. Go to a specialty store and have them watch…

I'll be there also. It better not rain...

Are you running Green Bay by any chance. I also live in rainy/snowy/cold Wisconsin and I know what you mean. I have been sucking it up and doing my long runs outside since there is no way to mimic road running on a treadmill. I certainly feel your pain but I would try and get outside these next couple of weeks. For your…

If it feels like it's in the bone and you feel the worse pain when you step on that foot, you need to have it checked out ASAP. It could be a femoral neck stress fracture. Something you don't want to mess with. If it feels like it's muscular in the front of you hip then it could be a tendon issue, not nearly as serious. I…

Job well done. Good luck with the half. I'm sure you will do great.

Feel free to add me. It is great that you husband is joining you on this adventure and you have the support of your son. With a little encouragement from MFP I'm sure you will make lifestyle changes that will stick this time.

There is a type of arch support that you can buy at most running stores, they are called super feet. They have different inserts for different problems. They run about $30-35. You could try and put one only in the foot that overpronates and see how that feels. I would try the different lacing techniques first to see if…

For your first race at this distance I wouldn't go into it with a time goal, your only goal should be just to finish. Enjoy the race, and then you can set some goals for your next race. Believe me there will be a next race.

You input strength training under the cardio tab. It asks for a time and figures the calories for you. I'm not sure how accurate it is. Under strength training you can input the stuff you do so you can use it as a tracking tool but it will never give you calories burned. If you have a heart rate monitor you can accurately…

My schedule will change depending on if I am training for a race. Non race- Boot camp/strength training 2-3 days per week running- mixture of short/long/tempo runs 3 days per week Racing schedule- Boot camp Monday Running Tues-Thurs. Friday -off Saturday/Sunday- Long run one day other day off. Strength training believe it…

Way to go...

When you live in the land of beer and cheese, what would you expect. We are also very friendly.... Mad-city

Amazing story. You will be an inspiration to many people.

I'll be there rain or shine. The way the weather's been the last few years it will be rain...

I agree. If you have run races before you know what your body is capable of. As long as you are not feverish or body aches I would go for it. Take it slow the first couple miles and see how you feel, then you can kick it into gear if all is going well. Good luck-

Yea !!! Keep up the good work.

Way to go !!!! There's nothing like the feeling of accomplishment after finishing a race. Your time doesn't matter, you finished, and you ran the whole thing. That's a lot to be proud of. Congrats !!

Planks are great for working the core area, so I would in-cooperate them into whatever else you do to stay fit. There is no way to spot reduce but these will give that area a good workout.
