Silverfire, haha, that speed blows my mind. I'm excited if I do 12-minute miles (5mph) consistently. 3mph is a brisk...

Don't know how much help I'll be, KarinRose, because I've got kind of weird taste in music, but I like fast metal like old Metallica or Megadeth. Anything electronic is good for me, too - Skinny...

Congrats on w5d3, KarinRose! Way to go with pushing yourself through the hard part. Honestly, for me, I think learning how to PUSH through even when I don't want to is the most important part of this...

w9d2 down - one more day to go! I kept going a little extra today to make it to 3.1 miles - the full 5k! It took about 39 minutes, and was actually reasonably fun after the first half mile or so.

w9d1 done! Almost talked myself out of even starting because my butt and hamstrings were sore from a squat-filled zumba class yesterday, but I'm glad I did it. It was slow, but I finished my 3 miles...

That sounds really handy, Karin. The treadmills I use only have hill intervals, which don't do the trick. I wonder why all treadmills don't have the speed intervals. Seems like it would be really...

KarinRose, running outside is WAY more fun. The time passes faster, the scenery is better, you can people-watch (if you're comfortable running in a populated area). The treadmill isn't as bad is it's...

KarinRose, I agree with magicsusan. The most important thing is just not stopping. You're tougher than you think you are. It'll be uncomfortable, it might hurt a little, you'll probably want to stop,...

mb2004 - Aww, thanks! It's a ring sling. I love it, but it only works when the babes are super tiny. After about 12 pounds or so I have to switch to the ergo because the sling hurts my back. As for...

mb2004 - I think at this point it's fine to just rest on your off-days. Alternatively, you could life some weights or 'cross-train,' which I gather is any kind of cardio that isn't running. I like to...

Did w7d2 last night - 2.5 miles! Had to slow down to a ~14 minute mile for a lot of it (usually I do around a 12-minute mile). I think I was weak because I didn't eat beforehand when usually I have a...

I'm hoping it works out, AwShucks! I am not exactly known for my green thumb. Hopefully we'll get at least a few things worth eating.
