I want to lose 100+ pounds, and I'm tired of waiting to be thinner to exercise. I am signing up for a 5K on November 1, but c25K is killing me. I am going to try your training plan instead.

I am not a runner but am working towards that, I can jog a little farther each time I go out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757241723753250264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-28742025177125667482014-05-19T12:39:12.594-04:002014-05-19T12:39:12.594-04:00This was prefect for me- a friend and I signed up ...This was prefect for me- a friend and I signed up for a 5k next weekend. I'm so excited, it's my first race. I'm also terrified. We will be walking it and I know I can, but the idea of showing up with all of those people looking at me and thinking, what on earth does she think she's doing here is really daunting. I'm just happy to be off the couch and out in the sunshine.

Run fast sometimes and run longer and slower other times. Run hills if you can. Sometimes thinking about it too much and overanalyzing can make it overwhelming and not fun.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669046315971951442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-50569494014921735122014-05-18T10:45:44.564-04:002014-05-18T10:45:44.564-04:00That was very helpful thank you.That was very helpful thank you.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04805071633671355739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-67468775496566335532014-05-17T21:23:32.005-04:002014-05-17T21:23:32.005-04:00Thanks for being such an amazing inspiration!
