I'm proud of you and I don't even know you! Great Job!!! Your story brought tears to my eyes. I really want to do a mudder!

Great JOB!!

Great job Frogman! I am still fighting my way back after vacation and laziness. Worked on week 5 outside this week. (windy...) Three attempts that weren't too stellar but they were attempted all the same.

How is it going Frogman? We went to Jamaica Feb5th and when we got home had a death of a friend. Been reeling since. Have only ran once but did complete W5d2. Thought about going back to week 4 but tried it and made it. (It was difficult.) Have been kicking myself for not getting out on the beach. I was just too…

Frogman did you make it back up and running?

6.5. I think that would definitely kill this 5'3" chick! Survived w4d2 today and it felt almost good! :0)

Just finished day 1 of week 4 using the "ease into 5k" app. Finally feel like I'm going to make it! Each increment up I have been worried about. Thought I was dying at 60 sec and 90 sec. Completed two 4 min runs and a 6 min tonight. Amazed! Getting my breathing down to a comfortable pattern has been the most difficult…

I finally did w4d1 tonight. Survived better than I expected. It seems possible now!

Hows week 4 going Alexia? I start w4d1 tomorrow. I was scared of w3 and survived so I guess here goes!

Day 3 of wk3. Went better. Still slow but I figured something out for breathing.....I count. Not the time or anything. I just count to a comfortable number, say 50, then start over and over till the 3 min or 90 secs is over. It took my mind off trying to breath and just let me breath. funny. but good. :0)

Hi everybody! I'm on w2d4 of r30 but this is the first time I saw your posts. Helloburger-I'm with you on the shoulder pain. I'm on d4 of w2. One more day then will move to w3 and hope for relief for my shoulders/rotator cuff. Taking the night off. And hopefully will feel better tomorrow.

I did make it through! I slowed my pace down to run the 3 min runs at 4.6 mph. Then upped my speed on the 90 sec runs to 5.1. (Week one and 2 I ran at 5-6 mph.) And I found it was easy to walk at 4 mph. ( I'm a shorty so that is a feat!) I am currently doing Jillian's Ripped in 30 also. I have to do the c25k first or my…

Shooting for 135. That would put me at a size 6 most likely maybe even 4.

My cows trust me to treat them well. And I do.

I am an animal lover and a omnivore. I raise cattle for meat and milk. I love my cows. LOVE my cows. (more than people some days .lol) I love their personalities. Their job is to feed people. My job is to give them the best care possible to make that happen. When I was younger I will admit it was hard for me to eat the…

Me too! I'll turn 40 in June. I wanted to be at goal by now but it has been painstakingly slow.... Good luck!

I love the jean comparison. You look great! Great job!!

WOW Great job!

I'm new. Hope you don't mind me barging in. This is probably my 4th attempt to get through the c25k. I usually fizzle on week 3 but I want to run. I want to be a runner!

Great job! WOW on the 6.5mph. I can't breathe or talk at 5.5 mph. :blushing: Did you end up using an app or following a written program? I just finished w2d1 (week 2 day1) last night. I'm trying to figure out a breathing pattern I am comfortable with. My lungs are not too beuno simply from lack of pushing them. This is my…

I just started last week using the "Ease into 5k" app for my ipod. I like it and it works with music from your own playlists.

Mine is the same way. I just look at it as success. There is no way I could go anywhere without a shower first though. So it limits my workout times to evenings which I do wish I could change. When I'm done with a workout I am drenched and beet red. Badge of accomplishment. Wear it with pride!

So glad I found this thread! I figured I wasn't the only one with lung/breathing questions. I started the "Ease into 5k" program this week. First week is 30sec, 45sec, 60sec, walk/run intervals repeated 3 times. This is my 4th or so attempt to do a c25k. I want to run. I want to be a runner. But my body seems to hate it!…

WOW!! Way to go!

Jillian is giving me a waist back.....The first time I tried it I nearly died. :0) Just try it. Don't get discouraged. Do what you can. Everyday I saw improvements in my endurance. I didn't know how cardiovascularly challenged I was. ;0) I did my first time thru a few months ago and started a 2nd time before Christmas. I…

SASSY! Great job!

Take the picture at the same angle as your first picture and you will see the difference much more clearly! Keep it up!

Great job! we are in the same boat! 5'3 163lb. Race ya! :0) I'm going pretty darn slow. But keep chugging.

I definitely do better with music that keeps me going. I can't run over a minute and a half yet but I keep trying. Maybe I'll have to try Dire Straits! With my Ipod I'll pick a song I like and use the genius button to create a playlist with similar song beats. I do a 60 mile walk (20 miles x 3 days) each year and use the…
