new feeling for me - anxiety over missing a morning run... what?
This morning i was scheduled to go out and run Week 7 Day 2 of Couch-2-5k. Since starting the program, i have not missed a run; until today. Had a rough night and poor sleep, and overslept this morning. What surprises me is my reaction. I've actually been feeling bad about not getting up in the morning to run! This is a…

c25k - Completed my first 5k!
Good morning MFP folks. A little less than two months ago i started training with c25k. At the time, i had been walking a bit, and had built up to being able to run a few hundred feet before gasping for air and feeling my legs start to abandon me.

Most of the years i smoked; all of them i was overweight. Running wasn't on the agenda, and i frankly never understood it. A couple months ago, i agreed…

Starting to believe i might become a "runner" (kudos to c25k!)
I've never been a runner. When i was younger and in relatively decent shape, i hated running. When i started smoking and eventually packed on the pounds, it was out of the question. I've been smoke-free for a couple years, and i've lost a bit over 40 lbs through CICO; not done, but a good chunk. So i find myself having…

Plugging away, despite the scale!
So for the past couple weeks, my scale has been... stubborn. I record my weekly Friday weigh-ins, but check the number pretty much daily. For the past couple weeks, i've been anywhere from my recorded weight two fridays ago to a couple pounds heavier. Never lower. Last Friday, it was the same weight exactly. Kept…
