[asherje 81]

I excited! Girl friend and I started doing the http://www.c25k.com

It's freaking awesome!

She contacted me because she gained the 60lbs back over the last few years that she had lost doing this before, to see if I would like to be her workout buddy. It's a blast! Today will be day 3, it's probably Water weight but I'm already down 2lbs

Anyone else done this or interested in joinin in and lettin is know how y'all are doing. We started Friday took before pix and measurements so when the scale is not our friend we can see measurable results. Wish us luck! Next run is today in about an hour.

Wait - are you working on a 5K (ya know 3.1 miles) or 25K (16miles)?? when u say 15 miles do you mean total of all of your days or are you really running that much daily? that seems like too much. I have friends that are avid runners and they don't run 15 miles unless training for a marathon.

If you.are doing a C 2 5K I think it ostensibly awesome! I did my first 5k march 31st and my second is next week!!!

[asherje 81]

Oh no those 7 days added up to that many miles we are only doing 2-3miles a day.

I love your program, hope i can do it someday as i would love to be a runner ! Im pretty stiff and have trouble loosening up even a little. i swim and took a yoga class this am. The instructor told me it may take a long time to stretch out my body with yoga, but to also try tai chi. she said not to do pilates as it is too much stretching for me at this point. Anyone else have any advice ?
