Way to Go BG!!!! great run!

Ok I started my day with 8 miles in 30 minutes on the stationary bike. Then after work I jogged 3 miles and walked an additional 5miles at a 4 mile an hour pace.

I am disappointed Iwill try harder tomorrow. I am such a slacker! I really had a different plan than what I ended up with. I gave up too easy.

I started week 4 of couch to 5k program. I jogged 16 minutes total tonight. Wow. All I can say is WOW. Never thought I would again in my life be jogging.

JC, what????/ Slacker??? NO FREAKIN WAY.... you are anything BUT a slacker.

BG, I am jealous!!

BG & D

You are doing what I want to do. I want to run. I'm still 28 pounds too heavy...in my own estimation. I tried running in the spring and my knee got to hurting, so I told myself I'd wait until I was under 200. It's a promise I want to keep for myself sO I don't just give up on it. I so want to run. I feel like when I walk there's a hand on my back pushing me to run. I tell everyone I'm going to run to my goal...

I'm jealous and proud of you two. You rock chicas!

J I started at about 255. Just like D I did the Couch to 5K. I could barely do the workouts when I started. I did most of the program on a 4mph pace. Very slow. I probably got to the second to last week before I stopped running. I got bored with it and that is when I started big with the biking. Lately I just wanted to do the running again because of the plateau. I can not believe how easy it was last night. After 2 miles I felt pretty much exactly the same as I did 2 minutes into the run. The only reason I did not go farther is because I was back at my house and it was dark outside. It is amazing the difference a few pounds and building a good cardio base (biking) will do for the running part. J you will be amazed at running when you hit 200.

JC if I was as big of a slacker as you I would probably be at goal by now.

And now I need a good ass kicking to stay off the scale today. I have not been on it yet but it is calling my name.

Somebody spank me please.

I am going to jump on the statioary before BG baits me into the woodshed! LOL

BG, I was a slacker because I told myself to push a little futher than 3 miles. Any distance, even a few yards.

Since I have reached 3 miles I have grown conent with that distsance I have not added to it for weeks, and I gave up yesterday. All I had to do is jog a couple more steps ! WTF? I did punish myself with walking distance but I left feeling like a failure. That's just the way I am wired I guess.

I am running to prove something to myself. I don't know if I plan on running forever or what. I just want to do this couch to 5k program of 9 weeks and see what happens then. I recover super duper fast when I am done with my running part and doing the walking part. My legs are ROCK hard and I think it is a combo of running and biking. Hoping to get in a good 23 miles tonight on bike. I heart my bike!

[babygrl1234 6]

Isn't it awesome how much easier everything is once you are a biker bitch?

I thought you wrote licking and I could not figure out why she would be licking her bike. lol

D, my legs are rock hard too especially in the morning!!!!

Wow, that sounded a little woodshed worthy didn't it? But seriously I am seeing muscle definition that has been in hiding for years! It is a prime motivator.

My other prime motivator right now is meeting some of you in person.
