As usual I'm in :) I've got a long drive in the afternoon so this will start my day out right. Thanks EZ!

count me in again.

Gary,
Until further notice, I regretfully have to exempt myself from any running events - plantar fasciitis reared its ugly head.

I'm in. My goal: Under 45 minutes

I finished the C25K program a few weeks ago and have started running 5K's on M-W-F and will run in my first real race on April 11th. My 1st goal is to finish the race my second goal is to finish without walking.

Awesome ladies!

I will post up numbers in a few days.

Me too please, EZ! Any number.

My goal is 36:30, including walking intervals. I think if I increase my speed on the treadmill to 5.5 mph I will be able to do it--last week I ran 5K on the treadmill again and got just over 38 minutes.

Good luck all! :running:

I'm in, I'm in! Lets see I'll set my goal at 45 minutes.

I'm in!

well i thought i would just move this from page 3 back to the first page. :D

count me in! My goal is to run as much of it as I can - no specific time, but I've been taking the easy route w/ walking and I miss running! =)

please excuse my ignorance, but when is easter? maybe i'll actually be able to run again by then! fingers crossed...

Easter is April 12 this year =)

YAY!! i just love these!!

38 minutes is my goal !

#24 please :-D

Ohhh I wanna play. And I don't know the rules really so I guess I will PM EZ Money? My goal is 38 minutes. My first race is 4/25 so this will be great!

Oh, I'm definitely in, Gary. My aim is to break 50 minutes this time.

ok my fingers are crossed. i really hope i have the go ahead from my physical therapist to do 5K by then. i'm not even allowed to look at the treadmill again yet and it's been 3 weeks of p.t. already, so i have a feeling he is gonna start me off really slowly. and to think i was gonna do a 10K on april 11. times sure have changed. sigh.

I'm in, Gary! My goal is to do this one in 30:30 or less.

Yay! I need something kick my butt back into doing 5Ks... My best time last year was 44:32, so my goal is to beat that... I have an "official" 5K I run for a charity every May that is coming up as well and I want to bust through 40 during that race so this is the PERFECT stepping stone!!!

yay kim - good to see you here too. I have an "official" in may as well.

Im proud of you guys for doing official 5Ks! i don't think i have the guts yet :shrug:

JAHJAH your times are plenty good enough for most 5K's...Angie and I will walk in one, that we do every year, in 2 weeks (CARLSBAD 5K)...we have run it many times too...over 2,000 runners/walkers I'll bet in all the races...fun stuff! And I get beer at the end!!!!!!

Jah Jah - you friggen times are awesome. I think you should do one. I bet you would enjoy it

Gary - Colormered47 is my mom. I was telling her about EZMoney's 5K and she's like, "Hey that's my buddy"!

bump....I will get numbers up this week...promise!

I ran 3.75 miles today! couldn't freaking believe it. There was a five minute after 2.25 miles because I had to change machines but I couldn't believe I had the energy to finish/ 47 minutes total...not bad

Well today I went out and ran my 5K on the street and I am so bummed with my time and stamina. I had been doing my 5K in @40 minutes on the treadmill.

Decided in preparation of the 5K coming up (April 11) I should start running for real on the street and it sucked!!! I couldn't even run 5 minutes before getting winded and I won't even tell you how high my heart rate got. I finished in 43:51 (much of it walked) and it did not feel good.

At this point I will not be running in the upcoming 5K (may walk) and thinking I should start C25K again running on the street.

For those that run do you find that big of a different between the treadmill and street? I live in a VERY flat area.

I just could not run on the street yet

I jogged a couple of mile on a trail today. It took some adjusting because it there were cracks, and turns, and hills and there was absolutely no shock asorption,.....Thank GOD for Nike Shox! I think I adjusted pretty well. I am gonna run it again on Friday just see my time for 3.2 miles.

BTW is 5K 3.1 miles or 3.2 miles? I have seen both.

You are doing awesome ASHLAN! A 5K is 3.1....sometimes confused by the 26.2 for the marathon. Sometimes when we train we go 3.25....no matter the distance you go ....you are going FORWARD to a better life!

GALS ~It is more difficult to do 3.1 miles on the street...be careful but KNOW!!!! that you can do it and WILL!!!!! do it when you are ready!

I promise....and I do not lie!!!

I think I'll try this one. Not sure if I'll walk or run but I'm doing one or the other. 12 days to go.

I'm in. Hopefully I won't get sick again (and be wiped out for a month)!

I'm in! And actually signing up this time, unlike the St. Patty's day one. :)

Would love to be under 50 on the training trail I'm using for my 5Ks.

I started the C25K again but with week 4! Hopefully by fathers day i will run a 5K in 30minutes! :D

OK, I'll have a go!
I am starting the C25K program tomorrow, so this bunny will definitely NOT be running the whole 5K, but I've got to start somewhere.

Coach Gary, count me in!:running:

Just realized: this is all happening on April 12th, that's my birthday!
What a good gift to give myself.

Please count me in. :)

I'd love to join in. #23 again if you have it, please! ;)

CruiseCAT, it's a lot harder to run outside because a treadmill helps propel you to a very small degree and asphalt and concrete are harder than a treadmill surface for sure. I remember when I graduated C25K on the treadmill and first started running outside. It was brutal. A lot of it is psychological/visual, too. Being outside can make you feel slower, even if you're going the same pace as on a treadmill.

Anyway, if you can run 3.1 miles on a treadmill there's no reason to start C25K over on the street. Just do what you can do and start to transition to the outside, and your body will adapt much faster than you think!

If you have a local track somewhere that can also be a good way to transition. The surface of a track is a lot more forgiving than the street and it can help with the impact while you're trying to adjust your form. Either way, don't be intimidated by it. You can definitely do this, just take it easy at first :)

I am really busy right now but I promise to get numbers up this week-end!

Angie and I are doing the Carlsbad 5K on Sunday...we will walk this one...it is so much fun....thousands of people and a beer garden in the morning!....wink

I have run my 5k this morning because I won't have time next weekend! If i get a chance to run it any closer to next sunday I will but until then I have to stick with thsi one! :)

ALL IN....no time to chat...Angie is doing taxes and needs computer...see you tomorrow! Angie and I do a 5K tomorrow with 10,000! other folks...not all in the same race...wink!!

Ran hill intervals in the wind today!

Have fun with your 5K, EZ!

I'm in again! I'm hoping for an OUTDOOR walk this time :)

I'd like to join! Do I need to do more than say that in order to sign up?

By the end of April I'm hoping to run a 32 minute 5k, but for Easter, I'd love to finish in around 35 minutes.

I'd like to join! Do I need to do more than say that in order to sign up?

....

NOPE! You are in KIDDO! Welcome!
