BTW, anyone with an iphone and working on a planned out training schedule might want to invest the $0.99 in an app called Tick'd Off. It's an awesome check list app (well, I suppose it isn't life changing). You can enter your items each day, the due date, and any notes. Since I run different interval sets on Wednesday's,…

I took up running last March when a friend asked me to do a 5k with her on Mother's Day. I had never run a mile in my life. Ended up loving it and I've ran many 5k's a couple of 10ks and ran my first half on Thanksgiving Day. Right now I'm training for another half on March 15th, so that should be about 1 year from when I…

This exact situation happened with me the other day. I was at bodypump and the woman in front of me was doing squats and every time you could see her polka dotted underwear. After class I casually went over to her as she was packing up her things and let her know. She was mortified but very appreciative of me letting her…

I LOVED my trainer and I used her to improve my running. BUT, we never ran together. She helped me build a strength routine to make me stronger so my running would get better. For your 5k purposes, I'd say not worth it. I agree with others, look up the C25K app and do that. Then after you get the running bug, you can…

I work full time and have a husband and two kids. I get off work and come home and cook. I'v come up the with quick recipies my family loves. We eat a lot of lean ground beef (tacos, mini meatloaf muffins), ground turkey (turkey burger sliders, spaghetti), boneless skinless chicken breast cut in half and cooked in the…

Has pretty awesome taste in tops

Likes to shop :)

Has an interest in tattoos

Bet she's the life of the party!

Needs to hold the camera straight (nothing personal, I'm a photographer and slants are a pet peeve ;) )

Has amazing hair!

Thank you fab and deltro. I am pretty good at fooling carnies Jack seems too serious

deltoro likes basketball (and my shower isn't all that nice)

No, I live in NC. We have local greenway trails. No sidewalks around where I live, so the greenway is the best place to run. Plus it's along the river, so the scenery is really nice :)

Seems like a super fun girl

What is the longest distance you have run recently? How many times a week will you be able to dedicate to running? I transitioned from 5ks to 10ks to half. I started running in March of 2014 and ended up running my first half at the end of November. Prior to the half I had run multiple runs over 10 miles. But, my…

Good plan and good for you for creating one to stick to. I'm the type of person that has to write out my plan in order to stick with anything. I'm training for my second half marathon. I've written up my weekly schedule of runs, intervals, and strength training. So far I'm in week 2 and haven't missed a beat. Though, I've…

Jan 1: 3.22 Treadmill run Jan 2: Strength Jan 3: Rest Jan 4: 5.00 Greenway Run Jan 5: 3.15 Treadmill Run Total: 11.37 miles of 80

Hello, I'm Jennifer. I stumbled across this group through the forums. I'm 32 and have now officially been a full year into my fitness journey. I started running in March of this year by the push of a friend. Ran my first 5k race on Mother's day of this year. I ran my first 10k in June, and my first Half on Thanksgiving…

I've never committed to a running challenge, but I'm training for a half marathon in March, so this might be good accountability!!! I'm going to aim for 80 miles in January/

That I have chickens. People think I'm so strange. I love my ladies and they are such wonderful pets.

I start training for my second HM today! It will be on March 15th. My first was in November. I didn't really stick to any sort of training schedule for that one. I have 11 weeks this time and I've made up a training plan to stick to. I'm not the best at committing to a schedule, but I'm going to try. Good luck to you!!

That's one amazing accomplishment!!! Congrats!

Great job, you did amazing!!! I have my first half coming up on Thanksgiving morning. I'm so nervous!

You could do different kind of muffin recipes. There are so many different varieties, you control what goes into them, and you can make them ahead and freeze or refrigerate them. I've had good luck with ham and cheese, zucchini, banana nut, and scrambled egg 'muffins'. You could pair them with a protein shake to help you…

I started running 4 months into my my weight loss. I hated running before and never did it for fitness or recreation. But, a friend convinced me to sign up for a mother's day 5k, so I figured I'd better start trying. Turned out I had built up my cardio and leg strength enough to run pretty decently. Ever since then I've…
