Nah! No early gym today. I'm taking today off from the gym. Might go for a walk on my lunch break if the rain holds off. But i'll be back at it tomorrow morning! That's great you are training for a 5k. I plan on doing the Biggest Loser 5K in late August - going to try to work my way to jogging a decent part of it. Good luck with the trainer today!!

Try one of the couch to 5K programs. I have hesitated forever on doing it saying "I'm not a runner..." Turns out when you're dropping weight, running is a lot easier! I'm doing the Zombies, Run 5K program and so far in the first week it's very doable. You walk 10 minutes, alternate 15 seconds of running with 1 minute walking 10 times, then walk/run however you'd like the last 10 minutes. Most people can shuffle-run along for 15 seconds. I'm looking forward to amping it up on next weeks missions.

I'll have to look into that. I have thought about doing the couch to 5k but when I was close to 300lbs - just walking was a challenge at times. So now that I am down quite a bit - it may be a bit easier (maybe...lol). I did jog almost a quarter mile last night - TWICE! (did I feel like I was going to die after it - yes - but I kept moving with the rest of the race.
