Starting week 6 today. When I started this program I wasnt sure if id make it this far and look at me.. I'm here!!

interesting... so ill be waiting for that aha moment without even realizing I am already a runner.

You think?! May be to soon, no? Maybe in week 6 I can feel and say I am a runner.

This is great advice.. I just started W4 sat and those were the longest first 5 mins but I just kept saying come on,you can do it,do it, lets go and I did it and kept going. So i guess that's my mantra "come on, you can do it, do it, lets go" Reading what all of you have to say and seeing all the accomplishments you guys…

W3 D1 was much better :-)

That's pretty much what keeps me going, knowing the end result will be well worth the sweat and tears.

thanks guys.. feeling better today and reading ur posts does help :wink:

yes everyday is a new day and if MFP helps you get it started the right way then run with it girl. Im on here everyday because it helps me stay focused on my goals. Like you said youve done it before you can do it again. We can do whatever we set our mind too :wink: Letzdothiz!!!!

I think I figured out why I may be so sore.. I just realized i did my first week of C25K wrong. Instead of 60 secs jogging n 90 secs walking I did 90 secs jogging and 60 secs walking.. no wonder I was so out of breath the first day. Now this 2nd week will seem like a breeze with 2 mins of walking in between jogs, not sure…

Thank you bttrthanevr! Im really happy with the program and oooh that sounds so good on getting my kids to massage it for me :tongue: But yes I only feel the pain when I first stand on it and take a few steps then I don't notice it anymore. New running shoes and arch support will be on my Christmas list this year oh and…

This is great advice guys thank you so much!

Foot fall meaning I'm landing on the heel to hard?. This is prob a dumb question but should i be landing towards the front of my foot?

Wow that was great Var!! That's me today, that ghost cheering myself on. Thank you for sharing those warm words and giving me the encouragement I need to believe that I can do it and I can run that 2K and 5K and maybe one day those marathons too. Thank you thank you thank you!! :flowerforyou:

Hello All! I just completed my first W1D1 and all i kept thinking was ((( i have to finish I have to finish so i can get home and share with my C25K group, I CAN DO IT GO GO GO))) AND I DID!! Felt so good and so proud... i know its the beginning and I have a big hill to climb but Im glad I didnt let the snow n ice on the…

oh ok I see now.. so a lite workout. tx!

imagine that! for now 5K will be my goal :wink: :wink:

I have a question for you all experienced C25K runners. When I start the program tomorrow can I also do a cardio workout on the days of rest or am I suppose to only do the C25K program? :huh:

yes!! i think the calorie counting is great. About 8 years ago i did the slim fast diet and lost 30 lbs and i know for a fact the reason why i did was not the shakes but the calorie counter and food diary on the website that i used everyday. Thats why im so happy i came across MFP :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

ive been tryin to decide which Jillian Michaels dvd to go with but I see alot of people are happy with the 30 day shred. Perhaps ill give it a try. Cus ive been using an old dvd i bought 5 years ago:huh: :huh: . I also came across the couch to 5k program I think im gona give that a try too. Letzdothiz!!

that was beautiful!! great words to start my journey on thank you :flowerforyou:

wow all this group encouragement is great!!. I just came across C25k today and I have decided to take up the challenge. Ive always admired the marathon runners and figured why cant that be me. I know I have some work to do but Im hoping following the program shown on the website I can do it too. :happy:

well ive been doing a pilates dvd and im gona alternate with some brisk walking which im hoping will turn into jogging. and stickin to the calaries counter. im gettin info on doin some weights to tone but still a lil confused with it. How about you?

tx guys really tryin to setup a routine but its harder than i thought. with this mfp support its starting too look good.

oh and Happy Belated Birthday!!! :flowerforyou:

im right there witcha girl! ive been throught the same struggles too. i had a baby 10 months agio and sadly im weighing the same now as i did when i was pregnant. i too am full of excuses but not anymore. yesterday i started MFP and im tryin to work into my daily routine of keeping track of it all. i wana lose the weight…

see i do the cardio dvds cus ive tried running and was so out of breath with aching sides i thought i was gona pass out :embarassed: so i stoped all together and well just speed walking feels like im not burning anything so i went wit a cardio dvd. I would love to be able to jog though, i have a beautiful park here with…

tx guys u have all been very helpful. :flowerforyou:
