I am 31 and a mother of 2 kids. A 6 year old boy and a 9 year old girl. I am married to the love of my life, however he HATES exercise. I really am on here for motivation and community support. I started my couch2 5K this morning and I feel great. I love it. I really want to set in place a new lifestyle and better and healthier model for my kids. My parents are diabetic and have other health issues I am actively trying to avoid. I really hope I stay motivated during this new lifestyle I am attempting.

Hello! I am new as well to this whole running thing. Today was my first run. Congratulations on getting married. I hope the best for you and your life!

I woke up this morning and decided that TODAY is the first day of the rest of my life as a healthy person. It was time to use that couch25k app I downloaded 2 weeks ago.... I did great today! I just want to know what to do for daily motivation... The thing that really ruins the rest of my plans is when I awake the next day with sore muscles and pain from a new work out the day before. Any tips on how to keep going when you are sore? What about when all you brain wants to do is excuses?
