Hi. I Am New Here. I Was Just Banded A Few Weeks Ago. Where Can I Get A Ticker Thingy? Thanks Much.

i go 3.6-3.9 MPH when i walk, on my "runs", i start out at 4.4 and my max is 4.7 and that is pushing it.

Julie - you are truly my hero. C

Hi everyone, this is our fourth week in the Couch to 5K program. This is designed to be a 9 week program, but you can repeat weeks (as I will be doing) until you are comfortable moving on. However, you are not supposed to skip weeks. It has been strongly suggested by trainers and runners alike to NOT run on consecutive days and to only run 3 days a week. More information can be found here: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml Attached are the first thru fourth weeks in detail Anyone is free to join, no matter where we are!! J This is the place to check in and support with each other and see how it is going. What week are you doing? How is it going for you? Is it too difficult / too easy? Any comments?? Good luck everyone!

how amazing is that!! congrats!

JM - slacking? what can i do to help?

You Snoose You Loose...

next week is here: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/couch-5k-week-11-17-november-44935/

How Do I Get A Ticker?

then you should definitely stay away from the nails !!

only fish flavored nails make me gag.

whos - that would be amazing... no way i could be ready for a tri - even in 2-3 years!!

sweet - try a level 0 for a week or two and see how the shin splints are. then maybe gradually increase it up again (maybe 1 level a week or every other week). whos - glad your knees are not screaming so loudly my knees still if i go above 4.7 are very unforgiving. good luck on week 4 next week. i am definitely redoing week 3 (again)

enterprise, i think its a very personal decision to have PS, if YOU are unhappy with your arms and want to do something about it, i feel you shouldnt have to justify it... you meet with the surgeon next week? you'll do fabulously and i'm sure he will be impressed with the amount of weight you've lost!

thanks ladies ... i am my own worst critic. i am going to scope out another trail tomorrow. i had no clue we had so many parks near us!!! if it is good for the runnin' i'll run it....alone.

y'all are quackin me up. tish - i loosed so much because i follow bandster rules 85 - 90% of the time and werk out hard 5-6 days a week. i want to loose more, so i think i am going to stop eating fruit/veggies and up my nail intake.

tish ... i see that you are a great looser ... havent even been banned yet and you've loosed 18 pounds! Great Job And Keep Up The Good Work!!!

**snort** .

well FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111!!!! be that way. i am SO going to report you to a mod ... better yet, i am going to create a new screen name and track you online and harass you... but i'm going to say you are harassing me cause you really are. really ... you... sob... really... sob ... are ... weep

or that the cherub was too thin ...

first outdoor run was a bust ... a combination of too many new things.. new shoes (tied too tight I think), new trail, trail with slight inclines, DH and DD were with me, too much of a distraction I think, I didnt properly stretch.. too many excuses. next time I need to just suck it up and run. I feel like crap that I couldn't do it. I did get a nice mile walk in, but that's not any consolation..

wasa, when you took yours out, i briefly had one up... it was huge and red .... but i chickened out ...

WOW, good for you! weekends are rough for me too. hope you have a great one and a fantastic Monday!!
