Silverfire, do it with me and Melissa! And we have to convince Mozzy to jump on the C25K train with us!!
Elvis - you are doing so awesome!! I jogged for 5 minutes out of 20 on the treadmill this morning! I think I might start the C25K Monday! I have a feeling I will be stuck on the first day for a few days though Mozzy! Wanna hop on this bandwagon with me? The sooner the better right?

Week 2, Day 1 Complete! It was harder than last week but still refreshing and challenging. I will admit I was glad to hear the voice say "begin cool down"!

I think I might do M/W/F as a schedule to keep it logical in my head. I didn't really want 2 days off in a row but I'm dedicated to this challenge. Plus I told some people I am doing it so now I'm all in!

Awesome, Angelic Fruitcake!! I seriously can't believe my body is able to do this. It's like an out of body experience except I'm sore the next day LOL!

Awwww Silverfire

I wouldn't do it until your knees feel better but you know what is best for you.

We need you to be a healthy Silverfire, not a running (yet!) Silverfire!!

2.1, check. I'm trying for roughly every other day, though I am running outside, so I may need to take the occasional rain break.

Yea Elvislover!!!!

On Sundays I like to go to a Zumba class at my gym and yesterday was no different. Except it was. It was Easter Sunday and so classes were canceled. Since I was already at the gym, I decided I was going to get some kind of workout but what? I'd already spun the day before.
I hopped onto the elliptical and was promptly bored.
From the corner of my eye, I saw the treadmills and all the happy runners just trekking along (I lied. everyone was too out of breath to look happy) and I thought what if?
My friends and sister have decided to do a 5K in June and though I've been vehemently against starting any running program until I lose 35 lbs (for the sake of my knees you see), something must have seeped into my subconcious.
Before I could actually coherently say 'I'm doing this', I was on the treadmill and before I knew it, I'd finished day one of C25K (Is it sad that I know most of the program by heart?). I'd started it before 2 years ago when I weighed 212 lbs and I really think the extra 25lbs make a difference on my knees but I'm willing to see where this goes.

Moral of this long nonsensical post: I guess I'm a runner too. Or: I guess I'm doing this thang!

I did it! This morning I did day one I struggled through, and only quit 10 seconds early on a jogging part once! My knees don't hurt nearly as bad as I was expecting! Boy, I can't jog in a straight line though, I was all over the place, nearly bouncing off the sides of the damn treadmill lol. I am sure form will come with practice right?
