Well here is a new thread for us Couch to 5k runners. If your new to it go see the link below. Cool Running :: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan I just finished week 9. I think the whole thing took me about 12 weeks as i repeated some of the weeks i felt i was weak on until i could move on. Ask questions..let us know what week your on...surport each other! I am having huge weight losses with it.

:biggrin:! Ok today i ran for over 4 miles ...total run time 45 mins with 5 mins walk on each side.

o we didnt forget you!!! YOu go! wanted yoou guys to know i ran 4 miles today! woot! Took about 45 mins and is did xtra 10 min walk

Hey welcome back lady!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jess! I hear you! I have bad days like that in the gym sometimes...it happens...just get back on it tomorrow. sorry you had a bad day!

Todays my birthday and i have to fly outa here to Philly for the week :wink2: but on the plus side i did get RockBand on my Xbox:)

Thanks Jess!! STEFF: weigh in today.........330 down from 333 last week. yah..i will take it I told the scale it had to be kind to me as it was my birthday.

Hey congrats! im going to be 33 tomorrow (27th) we are almost birthday buddies!

This is hilarious!!! I need to become a trainner :hurray:

Welcome to bandland!!!!!!REST recover.

As far as CC go. Everyone is different. My 10cc was tight when doc put it on as i have a large stomach.. i got 5cc now and i am totally at the right restriction. I think as i lose i might need more cc as my stomach gets smaller. I can tell though even 0.5cc more and i would be in big TROUBLE.

Stranger: It will get easier!!! I promise!!! Just keep at it...if you in pain from your knees...legs...feet etc then miss a couple of days to recover. I am amazed at my body! I thought at my weight there is NO way i will do a 5k! Now i do one 3 to 4 days a week and my time ha come down from 42 mins to 38 mins now. I have been running 35 mins and walking 10 (5 start and 5 after) I think im slooooooooooowly going to ramp up to running 40 mins with 5 on each side walking. then 45 then 50. I think to get to 50 it might take me 3 or 4 months...but theres no rush.

Me? A Goofball? Yeah i think i am. I have a typical British sense of humor i think...but i am always trying to make people laugh... I had my yearly review yesterday..and i scored top score in all catergories ! That was good...i worked my but of achieveing above and beyond all my objectives...all i have to say is 'SHOW ME THE MONEY'... Today.......COLD......SNOW.....SNOWING....-15F...5 inches of snow and still snowing....got to lock at a house and then off to the YMCA...i need to move to TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!! I love the summers here (70-75F) but i hate getting throught the winters! Out on the Road aGAIN tomorrow ...off to PA for the week. ANd to rub it in my work buddy is going to be working in Universal Studios Orlando all week AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Weigh in is tomorrow and all week im been the same weight but today i dropped 2 pounds since yesterday...my body is so weird like that...so its looking good. Jess....i know your suffering with this cold weather too!!!!! Oh and tomorrow is my Birthday and i have to travel...wahhhhhhhhh and my family is too busy to do anything with me today...(ahh its ok im always a huge baby on my birthday).

Hey i just read this ! Dr Kemmerling is FANTASTIC!!! He considers it honor to be able to care for you. He doesnt just blow you off like some. I dont know how he is on taking patients he didnt do the surgery on but heck you got to get help somewhere! I had surgery in Aug 07 with him and there office has been fantastic! They always followup. Talk to Mary over there about your situation and come to some of our surrport groups!.
