Im going to have to repeat week one it looks like. Ive tried two days now and have had to fast walk 1-2 of the jog sections.... Ill get there.

Just keep chipping away. Have your rest days and repeat like you are. We'll get there. I'm in a repeat of week 2 atm.

Doing my first one June 1st - its a Run for Your Lives race/obstacle course (www.runforyourlives.com) then im working as a zombie on the evening shift lol.

It will get easier. No problem repeating weeks. You are smart not to go too fast.

I started this about a week ago. I am still not able to complete day 1. Which is discouraging but then again who would of thought I could run at all. I will eventually be able to do it. I am 3 months post op and down 65 lbs counting my 20 pre op.

That's really great! Keep up the good work.

The fact that you are out having a go means you're all ready a winner.

Keep chipping away and you will do it, it's a certainty.

I couldn't do it either at first. In fact, the first time I tried it I couldn't run for 2 weeks. But I reluctantly went back and very slowly got better. Yesterday, I ran a 10K and I'll tell you....the feeling of pride and accomplishment is unbelievable. You'll get there if you keep at it. And at some point you'll realize there are really no limits. You can do whatever you try to do.

What the guys said! All of you who are doing this so soon after your surgery are amazing! It took me more than a year with a several month stall to try running. At least I'm off the couch now and I'm not going back!

Running is probably the best thing after losing the weight!

Just finished W2D1! Of course I ran on the treadmill since we're in a blizzard right now.

Fantastic!

Get this - I'm scared to run outside! I'm pretty tied to my treadmill (single mom of a 4yr old) and I COULD have run outside on Saturday and I totally chickened out. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it at all outside or that someone will see me trying to run. I'd pulled down the city map of paths and everything... one of these days I'm going to get outside though. It's beautiful running weather where I live, so I've got no excuse when I don't have my son with me.

Tonight is three sets of 5 minute runs - week 5!
