I completed the C25K program about 5 years ago after several false starts and I've been running ever since. I tried, what seemed like, 100 x's before I finally did it. When I decided to go at it one last time I really tried to figure out what was holding me back and to eliminate those hurdles the best I could. I set some…

My husbands been watching those TED talks but it's always about space exploration and science geek stuff. I didn't know they had them on different topics. Interesting. I'll have to check this one out. Thanks for the tip!!

I thought it was about me! :laugh: Just kidding. Interesting debate. Thanks guys!!

This is all great information. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you everyone. Carson, I totally see your point about performance. It sounds like you are a very experienced and fast runner. But for me, being a 40 year old, novice runner, there's not a big difference between my walking pace and running pace. It sounds…

This is a very interesting topic. I've suffered from anxiety for about 20 years now. I've been on medication most of that time. Every time I try to get off of it, even when I just tapper down a little, the scary thoughts come right back and I end up just going back to the full dosage. Then those thoughts and feeling go…

I disagree with this comment. I think you were beautiful before too. Now you look healthy and beautiful! Good job!!

looks wonderful. Thank you.

I've noticed alot of clogged pores lately!! I was wondering what was going on. I hadn't made the connection with my running outside. Interesting....

I think the addition of exercise is going to make a big difference with you. Also, just focus on the fact that you are getting healthier. Ya know, even if the weight doesn't come off as fast as you would like. Good luck to you!

I love the idea! I can't say my husband and I could do it this year but... hey, thanks for the invitation. :smile:

Thank you! This post really speaks to me!! I ran my first 5K last weekend and..... well, ... I know it's just 3 m to some but to me it was a big deal. I had a mini breakdown the night before the race. I didn't think I would be able to do it. My lack of self confidence really got the best of me. Yet, the next day, I was…

Love it!!!

This is too cute!!! I've never seen a before and after pic of dogs. Your babies are probably so happy to be walking with you!!! :smile:

This is about her feeling bad about herself. There's not much you can do about that. Hopefully, you can be an inspiration to her to make some positive changes of her own.

Nah... I think one good thing about getting older is that you don't take yourself too seriously anymore. That sounds like alot of fun. I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it!

Currently, Offspring, You're gonna go far, kid.

I try not to do or say anything that I wouldn't do or say if my husband was standing right next to me. I know him well enough to know what would make him uncomfortable.

Congrats... you are cruisin' right along. You'll be thru the program in no time!!

Sounds like we are in exactly the same boat. I too worry about the visceral fat on my husband. He is pretty thin but is getting a gut. The thing is, he hates his gut but is totally unwilling to change anything. He says he gets enough exercise at work. He does walk around alot at work but I'm sure he doesn't really get his…

I don't think anyone has guessed jerzypeach so I'll guess 32.

LOL!! I love when I look like that. I want people to look at me and think - wow, she really worked it!!!

^agreed^

I recently read an article on this. I wish I could reference it for you but of course I can't remember where I found it. Basically it said there were benefits for each but ultimately it's better to do cardio before strength training.

Ok, so maybe it's not a voodoo ritual.. LOL but the only thing I could think it would be is that she might be praying. I thought maybe she needs to be facing in that direction. But still.... not at the gym. I'm sure, me jogging by every so often would be distracting while praying.

I DID TOO!!!!
