naenaern777 345 Posted April 2, 2014 I started couch to 5k on Monday in addition to my regular stuff. So today will be day 2 of week 1. Let me say I have never ever been a runner not once. I put on my bucket list to run one 5k and my sister in law decided it would be Run or Dye on June 7th this year lol... So I figured I better get moving I have 9 weeks to be ready. The moral of the story is I finished day 1 the whole thing and was able to do it all!!! I was so proud of myself. I don't know how I will do through the rest of the program but it's a good start!! Thank you for being such an inspiration to me!!!!! 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and catfish87 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikee57 699 Posted April 2, 2014 I work at a very large hospital and walked all over the place for meetings and other everyday things I have to do. I haven't been able to do much exercising yet, but get to see my primary physician in a few weeks and hoping he will write me a script to go to a wellness center that is located near my home. Since I have had knee replacements and have this weight on it is really hard for me to do anything that has impact on my legs. Maybe this way being followed by a physical therapist he/she will be able to get me doing something that will help me with losing more weight and something that won't allow me to injury myself like I have in the past. Here's Hoping!!! I just Loved the comment from Catfish87 made!!! 2 catfish87 and KAATNS reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
