Thanks for the encouragement EZMONEY! the 5K walk/run sounds like a great goal...ok maybe next year! as it is - i can barely walk without calling 911! i DID make the one song goal, and i did it twice the next day. But i took a 2 hour break in between. i was at work! So i made it to one four minnute song, then i worked 2 hours, then i walked another 4 minute song.


Cakses- very impressive for someone trying to get back in the saddle! 2.75 mi is alot girl!

zeta- it IS rough when you take the weekend off- but what if you took several years off? You are doing great!

27.5/50 MILES

wow everyone! go fluffy! go zeta!

ezmoney are you running 2.5? that is a gteat feat.

cakses-very inspiring!

I am still just going 4 minutes at a time. I just walk once a day to say I did it, but I am happy to do that right now. It is still hard to breathe but I did lose 13 pounds in 2 weeks and it makes me feel like it is a little easier now!!! Eating less on "calorie counters" thread is helping me lose so that I can excercise someday soon!

Keep up the minutes Jennifer!

Angie and I got out for a 2.5 mile walk with the mutts this afternoon
