...and then I'm gonna run 10 thousand more.

I have finally figured out a way to get myself to excersize... train for a 10k race! It's exactly 4 months from today. yAy!
The thing is, I am a non-excersizer at the moment, nope don't even use the treadmill sitting in the tv room . But just the thought of finishing a TEN K race gets me so excited! I can't even run 5 min continuously at the moment. But don't worry I'm doing a guided-group 13 week program starting in january, and I'm gonna start walking/running in a couple days by myself.. This is so cool! Has anyone here done one before? Any tips/stories?

That's awesome that you've decided to start running.

10 years ago I joined a clinic to learn how to run 10k. I couldn't run for 3 minutes without feeling terrible. But with some hard work, and practice I got through it. Today, I have ran countless half marathons, a few marathons and a few triathlons. I'm addicted. Running is a big part of my life.

Good luck with your running!! I'm so excited for you.

That is great!

I come from a family of total NON runners, and thus never ran even 100m in my life!
I have just started in on it!
On Christmas day i went for a run! i ran 2 lots of about 1.5k and walked 5 km between
I hope to be able to run at least 7km by easter!
Maybe we could keep track of how we are doing together!
I am told to start with running for 1min then walk 1 min, and build up on that??

Hey girls welcome to running!! I love running too I've been running for 2 years now and I like to run every second day from 5 to 12 or 15Ks depending how I feel....

Don't be shy to join us at the Runner's thread here in the Exercise Forum, there is great motivation there...

I posted on the runner's thread, and I'll keep you all updated!
wow pinky, triathalons too! Maybe one day lol.I think I'm beginning to be addicted to running too, but we'll see in a few weeks. lol
icedragon, i'm doing run 1 minute walk 2 with a warm up and cool down walk this week. It's a bit slow, but it's supposed to work.

I will try to get another run in tomorrow, i have had to give my legs a few days off!
on christmas day DH got a 14 ft enclosed trampoline. so i had to have a go (it would have been funny watching me try to flip! LOL)
but for 3 days my legs were sooooo sore!
but i am starting for 2 runs a week (i also want to do 2 weights sessions)
