I started running again this week. Weather has been nice. I realized that I really like running. Although I like it, it still took me 20 minutes to convince myself to go running this morning

So where is everyone at? C'mon girls!!

I want to become a running girl if that counts! :P

that counts! I'm a quasi running girl myself right now, with run/walk intervals.

Have you started a program? C25k is pretty good.

So no March Cool Runners thread yet?

Eekss! We are slacking.

I ran this morning if that helps. Good luck with your 5K training, Nelie!

I am on Week 3 Workout 2 of the C25k =] So that is why I say I am wanting to become a runner!

So far it isn't too bad. I obvi have a little more weight then I want to have, but running combined with the other exercise + eating healthy, I should be able to run a 5k race later this year! =] or beginning of next!

I do intervals too.

midwife - I didn't see one!

kalikat - You should be able to do a 5k in a short period of time. I did a running program last year at a running store and within a couple months, I could run 3 miles (although I endured an injury, most likely from low temps and lack of decent warm up).

i'm out of commission until at least april. sigh.

I'll join you Nelie!

I've been running a little bit here and there lately (3 miles or less) and I need to get it as a routine again. Tomorrow I'm probably going to do my 3 miles again in the morning, it will be in the 30's so I think I'll sleep with my running gear on!

Hey everyone....I'm new here, to post at least. I look around often and have for quite a while, but I decided to start posting.

So anyways, I've never considered myself a runner, but I'm on week 4 of C25K and am really enjoying it. I can't wait to actually run 3.1 miles. I never thought it would be possible, but with this program, I believe that in the next few weeks I will be there!!

I think the "run 1000 miles this year" thread has usurped the Cool Runners threads to a certain extent. It's hard to keep up with everything!

My race season is just now winding up. I may do another 5K or two, but nothing major until next fall. I'm having fun racking up the miles with no particular race goal in mind ... just working to maintain a nice 10-12 mile long run base and doing some speed work to try to improve my short race times. And after GAINING about 3-4 pounds over race season, I've been able to take about 2 pounds of that back off, which is great. Another couple of pounds and I'll be back to my fighting weight.

I'm enjoying the still-cool spring weather, but all too soon it will turn beastly hot again ....

Wow, run 1000 miles/year? That would be awesome but I'm a bit far from that well for one I got a late start

I ran this morning 2 miles and it was a bit chilly, well so much so that my fingers went numb at first. I know summer will be hot but I'm looking forward to morning runs.

I'm going to San Diego next week and I'm thinking of trying some beach running. I may or may not kill myself in the process.

Oh man, I'm really missing running now. For the month of Feb-Mar I've been running a good three times at least per week, but ever since I lost my job two weeks ago I just haven't been motivated to run!

Consolation: I've been doing the 30DS by Jillian Michaels but it still doesn't beat the feeling of the wind in the hair, bounce in the step.

I can't run in the mornings and both tomorrow and the day after I have evening plans, so the earliest day of running would be *gasp!* Friday!

Man, I need to run again.

Count me back in.
Yes, I have been posting in the 1000 thread but it's mostly staying accountable with goal miles.

I'm in for the running chatter.

This May I will run my first half marathon. While I am running, it is not according to any special training plan. My long runs lately have pretty much sucked (been quite difficult) so I'm thinking of official training for the last upcoming weeks.

lixxi, you can do it!! The first day I went back, I was terrified. I have been doing 30DS as well but it really can't compare to being outside!!

kitty - half marathon!? Awesome, I'm looking to find an 8k or 10k for the fall.
