That is great Ricky, your Mom sounds awesome and really cool! Good luck to both of you tonight.

I saw them. I am so in love with my wireless ones. Especially driving down the road, people can hear me talking just fine with bluetooth. Love

Hey AgentP, Thats great. You are doing amazing. I have a waterpack that I wear around my waist and my water bottle snuggles in nice. I havent seen another one like it. I canno stand to wear the strap one unless i hold the bottle in my hand. They do make camelbacks that are smaller, I have a waist one of those for long runs.. Enjoy that warm weather, stay hydrated. HUGS!

Welcome here and man , that DIVA DASH sounds like fun, I would love to do that! I have heard of the Tough Mudder and Color me Run in Reno, that is it. Great Job!

Hi and Welcome from Indonesia. Love hearing from people far away, or maybe we are the people far away. You are doing it. Are there any gyms you can join there? Keep us posted on here, Good luck!

Hi Sadodude, You are doing great. I remmeber having a 15" waist and wanting to gain weight.. haha, those were the days. Anyways, it sounds lie your Metabolism is in HIGH gear. Lifting weights will definitely increase muscle mass, therefore burn more calories. Lots of protein, protein shakes, etc. Let me know how I can help you! Good Luck and welcome here1

Hey there, for me, I get lazy after dinner. lol. So Like TrishE says, eat small first before you run and maybe something more later. I am not much of a sleeper, so if I was going to workout and bedtime is at 10pm, I would go at 5 pm and no later. But everyone is soooo different.. I have to have downtime before bed, whereas my hubby can get into bed right after work. UH, I would be awake all night if that was me. Hope this helps you!

HMMM, I thought I posted here, wonder where it went? Hey Ricky, Now, that is awesome that you will running a 5k with your Mom. I love it. Does your Mom already run or is this her first time too? Keep us posted on here. This is great!

OH Cendorly, You brought tears to my eyes. SEEEEEEEE?????? You can do it. It gets so exciting... I am on the 10k app and when I saw run for 25 minutes, I almost died right there, but I did have to stop a few times, but I DID IT, today was 28 minutes, holy moly. I am doing the best I can and will not give up/ SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU, you are doingit. keep it up!

Ha Ha Azatol, FUNNY! Hey DragonMamma, I love to hike, bike, run again for the heck of it. I also love to lift weights and do that 2x a week or more. Swim, anything to get you moving. Proud of you , keep it up!

Hi Red, SO sorry about the loss of your Father. That is tough to lose a parent. My dad passed of Cancer at 56 years old. Sucks. Happy Note: You are doing great. keep it up. Make sure you rest that foot a lot. RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Do not run through pain. It will make it worse. Keep It Up Proud of you!

Hi Gnik1, It is OK, you were out there and that is all that matters. Do not be so hard on yourself. Keep on Keeping on! Proud of you!

Hi Maggie Mae, You are doing fantastic. SO proud of you! Love your 9 minute mile, that was me years ago and now i avg about 13-14. lol. I try... Keep it up!

FEELING GREAT!

Hi Alice, You are doing great. I feel extra energy sometimes too, so when it tells me to cool down, I keep going, walk a little and run again. Then some days I feel like a Slug! HA HA WAY TO GO, proud of you!

Hey GR33E, It is up to you. I started with the 10k app as I was already working out all the time. Like Trishe says, it starts you out about the same and most people who move up to the 10k app, they end up starting at week 6 or so. I am on Week 8, Day1 today and it had me running for 28 minutes. I can almost do it. I stop a few times. But I am doing it. If you are going to do a full marathon later this year, I would definitely start with the 10k app and and do 4 days a week instead of 3. Strength train the other days. They also a have a half marathon app after and look at that one, but might want to o up to the marathon one too. Keep me posted how you do. Good Luck and Welcome here!

YOU CAN DO IT and this is your first step in becoming a better you. I am so proud of you for begininning here. Post a Journal on the Accountability 2015 Board and hold yourself accountable. This is the FIRST step to a better you! My DR. told me that how yo enter your 50's is how you will be for the rest of your life, make it a good ENTRY! SO PROUD of you.

Hi Jo, Welcome on here and we are so Excited to have you here. You can do it. You are taking the FIRST STEP in making a change. The Apps are amazing and will help you on your Journey. They also have a situp app, Changing the way you eat is the way to go too. I am a huge PALEO fan and you also will hear from a guy named Azatol, weigh in with that here too. I have a website called www.cavegirlcancook.com that has a few recipes and also facebook.com/cavegirlcancook where I post recipes. 90% of the time I eat paleo. It is a lifestyle change that I will do for the rest of my life. It is healthy. Meats, Fruits, veggies. I stay away from fake paleo food too. They make treasts, but that will make you fat too. Treats are a must, so all in moderation.... If you ave any questions, please ask.. There are a lot of people here who will help. We also have an accountability 2015 board you can start a journal in, if that helps. IT IS ALWAYS FUN, when you have an ACCOUNTABILIBUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
