Nooooo Jay. Don't quit. Ever. Every body is different and no one can run like the other. My aha moment was running in a marathon, I was in amazing shape, people bigger than me passing me by. The worst was when a 80 year old woman passed me and said , want some ibuprofen??? Geez. LMBO. But , I was running. Period. Good luck. Don't quit.

Hi there R4L, you sooo can do this. We are here cheering you on. Go for it. Research what you can do for for you Hashimotos and what can be done, which I am sure you have done. Biggest thing is, get off of that danged couch and Move it, Move it. I'm so proud of you. Please keep me posted on here. Hugs get out there.

You bet.

Hi Sue. Welcome here. Good for you for taking the first step. You can do this. We are all here for supporting each other. I love the motivation. I don't like to run in the cold , brrrr, I'm going to run on a treadmill this winter. Lol. I'm a wimp. Now, I will hike but not run in it. One foot in front of the other and you can do it. Healthy eating goes right along with running. The weight will melt off of you. Keep me posted on here. Hugs. Good luck. You can do it.

Hey there. There are so many out there. My phone has one, and my Gear Live watch. I love it. Do your research on it. I don't like the chest ones at all. Let me know what you find.

Nice Dart Girl.

Yay Becky, You got this. Woohoo.

Way to go Danielle, awesome. You too Chris. Nice.

Hi Nic, Yes there are voice prompts. Make sure the volume is turned up in your app and phone. Good luck. Guest- I think you need to make your playlist in your music on your phone first. Idk as since I moved to the Galaxy s5, from and iPhone i don't have any music on it. Grrrrr. Lol. Good luck.

Woohoo Antonio. Thanks so much. I use this all all the time and I wondered that too. Lol. You are the best.

Thanks so much Dart Girl. You are awesome.

Way to go Michele. You are doing awesome. Congrats. Feels great huh?

Nice Leo. I am now workout out on my own. While I love the friend I've been working out with, my time is not being respected and after 8 months of always waiting on her, she's never on time, doesn't show up, when she says 7 am, she then shows up at 7:30. It is so hard for me to get ready at 7 am and when I do, I'm always waiting. Now , I've know her for 12 years here where I live. Never ever have we hung out Except at church. One day earlier this year she called me and asked if I'd workout with her cuz she knew that I always exercised. So I'm like sure. But after 8 months , I'm done. If you don't respect my time to train you and are always late or just don't show, I'm so over it. Am I wrong??? I don't think so. I had fun with her and we laughed but it's not a game to me. Either you show up or you don't ask someone to teach you where I normally make $! Training people. Ok rant over. I feel bad about telling her I'm done with her but I need to put my foot down. I do great by myself.

Hi there. Wish I knew your name. So proud of you for doing this being blind. Can I ask you how you run? You said in a carpet in your socks. I am sooooo impressed and proud of you. You can so do this. This absolutely does not disqualify from you being a runner. You are doing great. Please keep me posted. You are amazing. Hugs.

Hi there AOA and welcome on here. Great that you have the app and are beginning. First step is the biggest. You might want to invest in a treadmill or elliptical to get you through the wintertime. I'm going to do that same thing. It's cold here at 5000 feet. Lol. For shoes. Find a great shoe store that specializes in workout shoes. They will test you for the right fit. Also be able to tell you about shoe grips. Hey, let me know how you do. And good luck.

Way to go Chris and Lzy. Yay

Thanks Kat.

You Bet Bastien. That's Awesome. Really proud of yiu. You are doing great. Keep us posted here. Good luck.

Yay Jacque, you got this! Proud of you. Feels awesome huh?

Hi Janice, As of this time, the app doesn't show how far you ran. Most of us download another app that tracks your mileage. Like Runkeeper, Mapmyfitness, a GPS app, etc.,,, open your music app first, start your music, then your other app to track your mileage, I turn the volume off on that one , then open the c25k app and then it should all work for you. Hope that helps. Good luck.

Hi Snowflake, Brrr, that sounds really cold. You can do great on a treadmill. It is way different than outside running, but where you live, I'm not a fan of cold weather running. Maybe once in awhile though. I would add an extra day in in your treadmill for endurance and that might help too. Anyways. Good job!!!

Hi Kerry, Super proud of you. You did it. Doesn't it feel amazing?? Yippee. You got this! Keep us posted.
