    you're comin right along, bo. how's the ankle?
  • Thanks! I'm all healed! I'm feeling no pain at all when I walk on it any more. I'm still not allowed to run at all until next month, wear heels until next year (whoopee...I'm nearly 5'8"...I don't need heels), or walk stairs until I'm allowed to run. But I'm thinking most of that is just precautions more than anything else.
  • Starting Week 3!!

    Tues=15/15
  • OK, really...not that I mind starring in the Bo Show, but what good is a diva without her co-stars?

    Tues=15/15
    Thurs=20/20
  • Hey hun! You are so motivating!! I tore up my ankle last fall and had to sit out for months. I am just now wanting to start a c25k. I started a thread on the 100lb forum. We can peek in a cheer each other on! Anyway, I just wanted to poke my nose in and say that seeing someone else with such motivation to overcome an injury makes me feel more like I can do this, too. Thank you and keep up the program!!

    P.S. Nothing wrong with the Bo show! I'll keep tuning in if you keep going!
  • Got only one workout in so far this week. TOM has a way of shutting me down for a few days. I've started looking more seriously into the 5K schedule for this year. Have you guys picked out a race yet?

    That may be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me! Thanks for the compliments!! I think a big part of the motivation was that I actually sustained the injury while working on the C25K, so I felt like I HAD to show the stupid muddy hill I slid down who was boss! Best of luck to you with your recovery...ankle injuries, I have learned, are nowhere near child's play!

    So class, today's lesson is How to Fit in Exercise In The Middle of a Super Busy Day: I took the 16-year-old shopping for swimsuits. (By the way, she did find one and it's super cute on her! ) She takes FOREVER to make a decision on anything...don't know where she gets that...*whistling innocently*, so I decided I was going to fit in my day's training right there in Target. I got some funny looks, but I can still claim my 15 minutes for the day!
