At 11:35 min/mile and today did W8D1 and got 2.42 miles. I'm way short and won't pick up nearly 3/4 of a mile in 2 more minutes. My intention is to use a GPS watch ( Garmin Forerunner 10 was only 99 bucks ). I'll keep running 3 days a week and every 3rd run I'll add 2 minutes until I'm running 3.1. I'll then keep doing that every workout until I decide some day to go for 10k. You're in win mode. You get to run freely! No lady tellin ya what to do. No turning around at a prompt. Run until you feel like running back. Run to cool destinations. Check them out and run back. I'm excited to join you in the winners circle.

KellyAnn if i ran backwards id probably land on my bum!! Haha

Oh and I almost forgot, if you are interested in any of the runDisney races and they sell out, there are usually plenty of other legitimate places to get bibs - like through Team in Training or a participating charitable organization. I just found this out recently. The charitable organizations may require you to meet a fundraising goal, but then you can feel like you're giving back instead of simply participating in these fun races for your selfish enjoyment I highly recommend them as a bucket list item. They tend to be pricey but they are worth experiencing! Plus the bling is pretty cool lol

You asked for it, okay I'll post pics. We havent' gotten our act together for costumes, so unless I put my hair up in Princess Leia buns, it won't be anything fancy But I'm SURE there will be plenty of fun people to take pics of BTW, ALL runDisney events sell out on the FIRST day of registration...so the trick is to find out WHEN registration day is

I have no doubt whatsoever <G> Winners spirit.

Thank you for all your messages! Your all so motivational!! I love these forums just as much as i love running!! (Yes, the couch potato just said she loves running!! Haha) Love coming on to read everyones progress and journey so far, problem is, it makes me get motivated so i dont seem to have time to leave my comments Everyone is doing soo well! Today iv completed week 6! YAY! And was thinking next week i might try running my route the opposite way, which would mean running a section uphill!! (I always run down it) add a little extra challenge.

Week 8 Day 1. Done deal. 28 Minutes. 2.42 miles. 11:35 pace. I was fighting like crazy on the last half a mile or so, as usual. Interestingly though, I felt more comfortable than ever for the first mile. Kinda gettin my groove. I suspect my pace was under 11 on the first mile and probably 13 on the back side. Deadlift 3x5 @135lbs (Going half weight due to shoulder injury) Bodyweight Lunges: 3x16 Reverse Crunches: 3x10 Superman exercise: 3x15 sec

W8D1 Deadlift 3x5 @135lbs (Going half weight due to shoulder injury) Bodyweight Lunges: 3x16 Reverse Crunches: 3x10 Superman exercise: 3x15 sec Still unable to do pull ups and most barbell exercises. 3 weeks now. Shoulder injuries take forever to heal

Too cool!

Ohhhhh I am so jealous. So wish I was there. It was sold out. Post pictures of you two. So envious it's not funny. Lol. Good luck to you two. Can't wait to hear how you did. Yay!

Hey H4Me, I love to run the last day twice, and usually do that weekly. If you want to start again, go ahead, but you can also move up to the 10k app if you want. I am on Week 7 and I am running for 25 minutes now, when I can, sometimes I cant. Keep us posted on your progress . So proud of you.. Strength train too. You got this.!

Totally! Had a victory dinner of a wonton soup and beer for dinner when I finished....lol! I'm down 36 pounds from when I started. Feeling much different.
