Kathy, it sounds like you may have a running buddy. There's nothing like someone standing along side you pushing and encouraging you to go farther. Good luck to both of you.

Kathy~ I'm glad you have a running buddy now. You're very lucky to have a hubby interested in running. I've been working on my hubby, but it's not going anywhere, lol.

I tried something different today. I figured I have progressed enough that I could try running with the dog. So I took her out with me and we ran at a slow pace and I slowed to a walk every few minutes for her. I think she liked it, but it wore her out. She never ran full out, kind of a light jog and I had to encourage her along. But she also didn't stop and pull away, she kept pace and we went for about 30 min, which most was at a run. So I think I have a C25k dog! LOL. I was supposed to rest today, but its so nice outside that I just wanted to go running!

LOL Whosya, not kicking your a$$ anymore. I better get with it. I knew you'd be checking in so I thought I better behave at least a little. Looks like you are ahead of me know, but never fear girls, I will catch up. Just for you!!

Ooooo....this should be interesting. Both of you rock!! A little friendly competition is always motivating.

BTW, I'm sooo jealous! I want the nike+ system bad. I don't want to waste my shoes though. They are still in good shape. The next ones I buy will be for the nike+ system though. I'm thinking Christmas will be the perfect time....

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've been on this thread. I kind of wimped out over the summer, but I'm training again. I've dropped my time by 6 minutes, it's still not great, but I'm getting better. I'm running at least 5 days a week now, along with lifting weights and one day of yoga. I feel like I'm really improving which is making me want to do more. I hope to start doing 5K after the first of the year. I've got a lot of work to do to catch up with you guys, but you are all an inspiration! Thanks for the motivation!!

[renewedhope 4]

Glad to see you back Bea!! You are always welcome. Great job on the exercise regimen!!

Georgia, I can't wait for you to get a Nike+. We will have so much fun doing the challenges. Don't you wish we could trade those bodybuggs we bought together in on Nike+ now. It seems we have both changed our focus to moving!!!!! How cool is that!!

Glad to have you back Bea! It doesn't sound as though you fell too far off the train.

you dont need special nike shoes. I use a pod like this

You can get a sys plus the pouch for $30 on ebay. I do have a spare shoe sensor if you want it.
