C25K - Where do you run AND how many calories are you loggin
Those of you doing C25K are you running on a treadmill or outside? If outside - where are you at and how are you coping with the warmer weather? I'm in Tampa and it's really warm in the afternoon but this morning it was pretty humid out. Also, I'm just logging calories based on the minutes ran/walked based on MFP's calcs.…

19 days to the 5K....quickest way to train?
Some history.... I couldn't run a 1/4 mile in January. I completed C25K while running outside. Ran my first 5K in April in 36 minutes even. I started C25K a second time for speed doing high intervals on the treadmill. Definitely helped but ran out of time to finish faithfully. Have been running 1 - 2 miles 3 - 4x a week…

NSV - Don't Let ANYONE Tell You That You Can't!
I ran my fastest mile today - 9:50! Here's the deal though...I weighed 191 at the beginning of my journey about 6 years ago and I joined a gym only to have a trainer tell me that a 40 pound loss goal was a bit unreasonable. Talk about dicouraged. When I started running 8 months ago my husband was kind but didn't think I'd…

Do you run with your dog??
I live in Florida so it's obviously warm out most of the year and I just finished week 5 of C25K today. If you take your pooch with you, how far do you run with them? I have a boxer/american bulldog that runs w/ me 3 times a week. Right now it's more like a fast walk for him (I'm pretty slow - 11:30 min mile). I feel like…

C25K Folks...What have you learned since you started??? Tip
I'm finishing week 3 tomorrow. It hasn't been bad up to this point although I finally caved and bought a pair of Nike LunarFlys b/c my old running shoes were killing me. Now...I'm going to lift Friday and I have classes alllll day Saturday so I won't start week 4 until Sunday morning, but...I'm actually nervous now looking…
