THank you all for your kind words. Everything is possible if we just keep working every single day. <3
-
Thank you. Just keep going. At some point I had to look at my overall health vs the scale. I went from running 30 secs to being able to run 6.25 miles, so my body is definitely doing something right! Dont give up.
-
Thank you. You are definitely right though, the body does burn out at some point. I am happy I havent gained it all back, it def. could be worse. Thanks for letting me see it in another view point :)
-
Thank you. Yes you are right and yes I feel great about that. I just dont want to be over 200 lbs all my life...I dont have a set weight just want to be healthy and under 200 lbs which is attainable for my 5'5 frame. Great job!! 85 lbs is AMAZING~~

lol..
-
Thank you..came a long way but still have far to climb :)
-
You are definitely right about that!! :)
-
If your husband is disabled, I tip my hats off to you for running everything...if he is not ,, it appears the only weight you need to lose is him..what does he weigh?
-
My first marathon is next year and thats me never having run a day in my life until 14 weeks ago. Longest run is 6.25 miles..so reading this definitely made my day! Thanks for the honesty in your post.
-
This to me is what true results are. The physical are just a plus, but this is what its all about. Health is awesome!!
-
I needed to see this today. Phenomenal. You look so truly happy!
-
Thank you !! I realize its only going to get tougher, but I think ive built a good mental foundation to move forward (as you said). I still have ALOT to learn about running and how my body reacts, but im accepting of the challenges. Thanks for all your honest support.
-
Thank you..for me yes it was a huge barrier. 20 min non-stop was huge. 60 min is another ball game though. Thanks again :)

When I started I was unhealthy..practically dying..at 29. Now im a lot healthier, my body is now running 5 miles, am I skinny? Nope. Ive lost weight but am still chubby. I still have areas to improve..however...the health ive obtained I will take any day over the looks of my body. I thank you for posting this. You are…

Hi guys! Thought Id update... Im in week 14 today ..last week of C210K. The last day ill run my official unofficial 10K. Crazy to say ! This week I run 60 min non-stop. I did it!! Its my official longest time running non-stop, and my longest distance as well (that distance included the warmup walk, and walk back to the…
-
Yeah you are right, thats what I meant. I know the 13 miles will be in my training, but I wanted to do an official half to get the feel for runs. Right now im finishing off my 10 k program then ill be moving on to the marathon training (Galloway)
-
Wow what a commitment!! I hope to do a half along my training..
-
Yeah you are right, I totally got it the first time.......I never thought it would be easy, I just needed doable. My goal was to also finish, not run a marathon, as I know that would be unrealistic. So far I still think I can finish it..I have about 8 months to go and the plan will take me through the year. So hopefully my…

Hi friend I finished my 5k. 40 min! It was hot, miserable I had my heat rash and my period...but I got it done!!!! :) Thanks for all your awesome advice!
-
Hey...you are awesome! Thank you. :) Im sure you will get there, you seem to be heading in a great direction!! Cheers friend :)

I cant compare ice baths yet for my recovery. When I first started running it was not the most pleasurable. I was using my body in a form I hadnt used in the year previous (cardio, HIIT, machines). A 20 bath in hot water and empsom salts helped alot. I would get out and just feel like jelly. Plop into bed and go to sleep…
-
I agree with you. So far with musica I feel in the zone...just everything around me stops...I can feel my heartbeat, my breath...its like im in a bubble. Then a song comes on and its faster paced and I instantly perk up and run a little faster...
-
Thats awesome that youve gotten faster! Great feat. I ran last night but it was the tread, so I had help, but I ran at 13-13:50 pace for my 4 miles. Typically outside I have been running at 13:00-15:00 min pace depending on the heat . Typically around 100 degrees or less I can run at 13 ish...more then 103 and I start to…
-
Ive heard the same, that the training is much harder then the marathon. I guess this may hold some truth for most sports. I have yet to take an ice bath, for me the heat makes me feel better in the soreness area, however , that may be because I have short runs .
-
Yeah, same here. Furthest to date is 4.82 miles. Irun in hellish heat too..so hopefully taht will benefit me later in the year and in my Marathon next year. I use my phone so far on my runs cuz they arent that long, but will have to find a way or another form of entertainment when I run the marathon...or maybe ill have to…
-
Havent tried the Aveeno bath yet. Dr first gave me Hydrocortisone cream for itch and some pill for itch as well..didnt work. Went in again yesterday adn she put me on steroids and a stronger cream. The rash doesnt look like its spreading anymore so thats good, now we shall see what a few days of the meds will do. Its been…
-
So awesome!!! I didnt really have a plan after C25k , cuz lets be honest, the first monster for me was C25k..lol When I actually got to the end..I said...holy crap, what now? My app said " Sign up for 10 k! " Clicked on it and apparently there was a continuation of the C25k!! So there it is, went through with it and 2…

Thanks for following me, I feel special! Disney Land? OMG that would be amazing, I really want to do that one!! Great advice, I never thought about bringing my own TP.. I want to sign up for a 10 k then a half, get some actual races under the belt . in a few weeks Ill start Galloways training plan... Hoping this rash goes…
