Question - First of all, I was fitted for proper running sneakers. Know my question is this. I am finding that when I get home from my run, my back is aching somewhat. It's not that bad, but it's enough to notice and bother me slightly. Could my sneakers not be the right ones? It's been to long for an exchange policy (plus…

I did it! W3D1 completed! I do have a couple of complaints about the program I had to switch to. It doesn't tell me my speed, it doesn't tell me my distance, it doesn't tell me my calories and I have to crank the volume to hear it! The second 3 minute run was easier as I slowed down. I've got to remember to slow down when…

I don't like getting wet which is why I didn't really want to run in the rain Tuesday night. I was also just getting over a bad cough and didn't want to relapse by getting wet! I am getting out tonight......hopefully! There is heavy rain in the forecast, but I checked the time line and it's not supposed to start until…

Well that's one way to get on a horse! :laugh:

I would make the same recommendations. Maybe try slowing down. You might now realize how fast you are actually going. I know most of the time I don't. I have times when my roommate comes with me (she is an avid running and just did a half-marathon in January) and she would tell me to slow down. The other thing my roommate…

I read an article about someone who started running when they were 71

Can you add me? I started it June 1. Looking for people to help encourage me when as those numbers increase on the situps and crunches!

I'm doing it this month. I will let you know if I manage to loose any more inches. Even if it's just 1/2 or 1 inch I will be happy.

Tagging to read later - I need to get ready for work!

I don't log cleaning. However, I did log the 3 hours of gardening I did a couple of weeks ago. I felt justified in adding that. Logging cleaning as calories burned to me is desperate and is part of your normal activity in the first place.

Didn't get to start Week 3 yesterday as the rain started and I'm just not ready to run in rain yet! :tongue: Today is my rest day and I doubt I can get a run in Thursday as it's giving 15-20 mm of rain! I really need to get back into this! :grumble: :frown:

I'm getting ready to run my first 5k on Sept. 13. My goal is to run the whole thing (I'm on Week 3 of a C25K app right now), finish in about the middle of the pack and be able to still stand when done and not want to collapse! :laugh:

Thanks everyone :smile: I am going to do some experimenting and see what happens. I did change my status to "light activity" and it now gives me 1660 calories. I do the "eat back what your burn" calories as I can't quite understand who to calculate my TDEE and to me the other way is just a lot easier!

I want to see the Kings win the cup. No way I am cheering for the team that eliminated my Habs!

Perfect weather day to go running yesterday. So did I. Nope. :grumble: I will get back on track with everything this week, starting today! A few days of not feeling well left me with no motivation for the rest of the week. I've got a new C25K program downloaded and I will do it this week starting on Week 3!

I have strawberries and chocolate chips right now. Me thinks I need to try this tonight

Felt much better today and got my walk in to and from work and my training walk. I got in a total of just over 10k today.

My nice and yummy chicken with peas and carrots in a nice sauce (Edited as I figured out how to make the picture smaller!)

HELP!! For my C25K training I downloaded RunDouble. I attempted to do W3D1 today only to discover that I only get the first two weeks the rest are locked! Where is a free program that gives me all weeks free?

In to read later when I have more time.

Haha! I can still remember that song as well! I also remember when the playground was just that a playground. There was a slide and ways to climb. There was some of the characters to ride on that YOU had to rock and back and forth to get them to move. Some of the "play" areas I see now are video arcades. (Though I do see…

Woke up feeling much better this morning, W3D1 is on for tonight!

On Saturday I did gardening for 3 hours and did my training run. I ended up burning abut 865 calories that day. Since by supper time I had about 1,000 calories left, I made myself a bacon cheeseburger with fries. It's not something I can fit into my calorie goal every day, but I was able to on Saturday and I thoroughly…

I haven't been able to get any running or walking in the last few days. I've developed a bad cough and haven't had the energy to do it. Medicine finally seems to be starting to work, so hopefully I can tomorrow!

Need more eye candy on here!!! Thank you so much! (Even though I do have two good looking lawyers that I work for that I get to see every day)
