Augy

We figured out how to make a C25K workout routine to download to the treadmill but no way to sync to the App. Still works okay if you start them at the same time, although it gets a little out of sync near the end. Still, better than manually changing speeds on the treadmill machine during the run. We'll be moving outdoors when the weather gets better. (on to week 2!)

Well after a little scare, and a trip to the E.R. last week, I got the okay from the Cardiologist to get started on the treadmill. I just completed my W1-D1. I have to pay close attention to my target heart rate, so I found myself jogging so slow it looked more like a Prancersise. LOL! It's a Start, and I'm looking forward to improving, however long it takes.

Aloha Diamond.
I have fond memories of running in different places on oahu. (30+ years ago). I've set a goal to treat myself to come back to visit, and run a 10K race, when I reach that point in my training.. It'll be a while, as I'm on week 2 of the 5k, but that is one of the carrots I'm dangling for myself.
Welcome aboard from another newbie.... we GOT THIS!

Great job Augy. Woot woot. I'm now wearing the Fitbit and love it. I want to look into some runs in Reno and just drive my RV up and go. Even if by myself. Fun

I actually use a camelbak, it has a reservoir for water and is contained inside a light weight back pack, I use it for long runs and haven't had any issues, mine also has a pocket that I use for keys, shotblocks and Gu. You should be able to find them at sporting goods stores, I purchased mine at Dick's Sporting Goods.

Sounds like a Great Tip. I'm doing my  Week-1/Day-1 routine tomorrow. I think I'll give this a try! Excited to get started!

I got fitted for, and purchased a new pair of running shoes at a running store. All Set! tomorrow is day 1.  
FORWARD!

I just Downloaded the C25K app. looking forward to getting started! I need to get a decent pair of shoes and find a good route nearby. I've already been walking a mile twice a week and want to step it up. My first goal is to complete week One.
