My physical therapist is finally allowing me to do some running outside - rather than on the AlterG machine - but is limiting the actual running time. So, with that limitation, I am going to put myself down for only 30 miles this month.

I noticed that you are nine pounds from your goal. For me, when I was within ten pounds of my goal, my weight loss slowed considerably. Even an increase in activity - I was training for my first half marathon - was not enough to get me past the plateau. I was stuck for three full weeks. Don't let it discourage you.

I strained my hip on a Trail race last month - the reason for the lower miles in June - and my physical therapist is saying "no" to running for a few weeks. :sad: Guess I need to sit out this month's challenge. Thanks!

Hi. I have one and love it. I can easily see the face while I am running and it gives me great information when I upload it to garmin connect. This is my first garmin since I am a new runner but I would, and have, recommended it to others.

The running store where I purchase my shoes insists on fitting me each time I buy a new pair. I have been told that losing weight and becoming a more experienced runner can change my running shoe fit and style. Will the store where you purchased the shoes fit you for new ones and allow you to exchange the ones that you…

Hi Everyone, I am Sue, 66 years old and I live in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. I began on MFP last July with a goal of losing 80 pounds. Asthma and Fibromyalgia........plus my age, made me think I shouldn't and couldn't run. I began working with a personal trainer twice a week doing strength training and tracking calories while…

I do not mind others saying "great job" - but then I am a new runner and older than most other runners. With my silver hair I often get a comment. Ha.! Perhaps because I remind the younger ones of their grandmothers.

I am 66, female, 5'4", 158 pounds and still have some to lose. Just began running last December and finished my first half marathon last Sunday. I burned 1538 calories doing the half marathon but then I am still pretty heavy in comparison to most women runners. I am also a slow runner so that contributes to the number of…

Thank you Sue. I think all of us have at one time or another questioned "keeping on." Yes, it is worth it - you are worth it!

Hi! I began running in December and I am 66 years old. My husband and I began a C25K program through our local running store. The slower pace of that program, I believe, is what enabled me to continue to run. Our "graduation" was to run a 5k - I did - and managed to come in third in my age group. I have come to enjoy…

Hi! I just ran my first three mile race last Sunday. It was the "graduation" race for a C25K class that I took with my husband through our local running shoe store. Now we have signed up for a Half-Marathon 101 class that is organized along the lines of the C25K model. Coming to computers later in life - I am 66 - I hope I…

Hi! I am 66 . I began my weight loss journey on MFP last July. In the first 20 weeks I lost 41 pounds - due to eating healthy food, working out twice a week at the gym and walking with my husband the other four days. Then we decided to join a C25K group and my weight loss slowed down. A little discouraging but the inches…
