Some inspiration for anyone who needs it...!
Hi Everyone! Just wanted to share some inspiration. I hated running all my life--even when I did sports in high school--felt awkward and never felt smooth or anything but did it just for practice drills we had... fast forward to years later and over 40 and overweight--so I finally decided to lose weight last year as my new…

tightness of running shoelaces...
Does anyone else go thru this or is it my OCD?.... I'm new to running (started C25K August 1st and do it every other day and just finished Week 7 day 2 today) and it seems to take me a couple minutes to get my shoes right--I've either laced them too tight across the top of the foot, not equally tight per foot, or too tight…

anyone else find treadmill harder than outside??
I started C25K August 1st--doing it every other day and today I started Week 9 Day 1. TODAY is the first day since August 1st that the weather has not permitted me to run outside.

I'm just asking so when I start to use…

no more snoring... Yay!!
I have lost about 30-35 pounds since early May. I had started snoring when my weight was going up over the past few years. Now I'm not snoring at all!! I had a suspicion it was was from my weight gain versus sleep apnea, congestion, or nasal passage problems.... Aside from all the other benefits from losing weight, I am so…

lower back pain
Anyone else who's never been a runner before (and not doing C25K to "get back into their running groove") find that they're having lower back pain since they started C25K? I am not sure if it's from the running, but the timing matches up. I have found back strengthening exercises to do and I do stretches after each workout…
