Runners... is this part of the process?
I did C25K and finished up over the weekend. I'm now out running 2.75 miles and only taking intermittent breathers to round out my 3.11 miles. I feel great for the most part; my endurance amazes me. However, my legs get so tired before I'm even into my 2nd mile. I am a short, squat and currently overweight gal, so I'm…

Week 5 Day 3... the dreaded 20 min run. Success!
I got sick last week. Double ear infection not walking straight sick. I was unable to get my runs in. Today I felt back to normal so I thought I'd go ahead and give my next day a try. It was the Week 5 Day 3 aka the.20.minute.run. I panicked!! Then I thought, just get out there and do what you can and if you repeat the day…

Check in!! Where's everyone at? How's it going?
Hey all! I hope we aren't a dying group... If you're still here say hello and say how your doing! As for me... I'm still plugging along. My first 5k is this coming Saturday and I'm pounding the pavement to be ready. Weight is coming off slower than I had hoped, but it's coming off regardless. :) Next...

How many of us have a 5K the wknd of 9/8?
I've been seeing a lot of posts lately and it seems a good amount of us have a 5K on the weekend of September 8th. If you do, is it your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc? What's it called? I'll go first: I do on Saturday the 8th. It'll be my 1st 5k ever and I won't be fully completed with the C25K, but I'm pushing myself to finish it…

First 5k Run
I ran my first 5k this morning. I've been doing the C25K app and was nervous since I'm only in week 6. My goal was to complete the 5K in 45 minutes or under. I came in at 40.13. Wicked happy about that! I just want to say, if anyone out there is wondering whether or not you can run. I will gladly tell you that yes, yes you…

Weigh In Day
Do you all have a preferred official weigh in day? Or do you do it monthy, daily, etc. I weigh in on Friday's because that's the day I started on. However I do weigh myself every morning at the same time. I just don't update my spreadsheet that I keep until Fridays.

Running Shoes Question
Hey all! I found a running shoe store within a decent driving distance and am heading there tonight. Do I need to ask any specific questions so I sound like I know what I'm talking about... considering I don't. So far I haven't had any foot/knee/hip pain, but I'd like to get an assessment and be proactive rather than…

Get fitted for proper running shoes... But Where?
I keep seeing posts for newbie runners (like me) to get fitted for shoes. I hate to be clueless, but I am. Can I get that done at Footlocker, Finish Line, or other shoe type stores in the mall? I see people saying to go to a Running Specialty store, but I don't know where one would be or the name of one to google and see…

C25K... beginner with a question
Does anyone know if you are supposed to do the Couch to 5k program daily or if you are to have rest days? I downloaded the C25K on my iphone and I can't see days ahead, only the day I'm on. For example: Yesterday was day one so it said Week 1 Day 1 and today it says Week 1 Day 2. I'm curious if it goes through Week 1 Day 7…
