recent c25k graduate - waving hi!
hello, i am so pleased to be here psyching myself up to (hopefully) progress to running 10k! i'm somewhat leery of progressing to the 10k program, so i'm treading in slowly. i have definite issues with body mechanics and have struggled with a sore back, sore knees and now a significantly sore ankle (sigh). i'm on a…

graduating myself and SO PROUD!
i ran my w9d1 this morning. we're in the midst of a heat wave here, so it was already 20C when i left at 6.30 and i didn't intend to run more than the 30 minutes required. i've been doing the c25k by time as well, and figured i would just take the week to build up to a final run of 5k. but, yay me! i kept running when…

this can't be right, right?
I've read through the helpful posts and have tried to learn about MFP settings, TDEE (this one still confuses me when used with MFP), BMR and CICO, deficits, eating back calories . . . and found myself a little discouraged yesterday. When I initially started using this app to log what I was eating and record exercise I had…
