Week 3 is killing me! Anyone else?
I am really starting to think I suck at this running thing lol I started running early September and before that I was a total couch potato. Like walking to the mailbox was enough to wear me out. I ran on my own with no program, just combos of walking and running in intervals. I did two 5k's and came in at 44 min each…

Trying not to wallow...
Since I have just about achieved my goal weight, I decided to start running and training for 5K's. I did my first one and I was so excited about training for a better time on my next one, and then I hurt my ankle. It put me out for 6 weeks give or take. I am sure I brought at least 2 of those weeks on myself by being…

Treadmill?
I started W1D1 yesterday on a treadmill but this doesn't seem to be the norm? Is it like, blasphemy to do C25K NOT outside and make the transition from indoors to outdoors after a few weeks? Or is that like cheating?

I ran my first mile ever yesterday and...
Seriously, every muscle in my body throbs. It hurts to stand, sit, bend, laugh, sneeze - blink lol And I love it. Every ache feels like a reward....a reminder of how hard I worked.

Hi :)
Hi, my name is Michelle and although I have been going to the gym regularly for a few months now, I think I am interested in kicking it into a higher gear and start running and eventually training for a 5K. For most of my life I did virtually zero exercise and although I wasn't fat I knew I wasn't fit. I was just one of…

Unsupportive family and friends...
My husband and my BFF (sigh) My husband is totally disinterested in anything having to do with fitness or exercise (that used to apply to us both) and my BFF *is* interested but only superficially. So I can't talk to my husband about my journey to get fit because although he TRIES, he gets annoyed and bored with it. My BFF…

Is EVERYONE a runner???
Okay, so have lost a good amount of weight using a Cross Trainer at the gym and have started feeling like maybe I need to start some "grown up" exercise lol I have always HATED running but I don't know how accurate that is because quite honestly, I hated all types of exercise PERIOD. It was too hard, it made my body hurt…

Just started running and...
Reading all the posts and getting a little overwhelmed. Proper form, fitted for running shoes, lean, stride, gait, mid-foot running??? I just wanna not DIE before I finish a mile! LOL I always do this, it seems too huge a feat - like I am totally kidding myself that I will ever be able to do this. ME. Run? Pssssh...

Before and after pics to post anyone?

Cross Ramp Vs. Treadmil...???
For most of my life I did virtually zero exercise and although I wasn't fat I knew I wasn't fit - I could hardly get the mail without getting winded. Anyway, eventually I DID get fat and gained about 50 lbs. In April of this year, I made the decision to get into the gym and CHANGE MY BODY. Because I was new to exercise and…
