Hi Ines, Welcome here, good for you. You are doing great. Congratulations on your weight loss. WOohoo...

How are you doing Andrea? Did you get there run? I sure hope you did, you will be sooo proud of yourself. LET US KNOW! Hugs!

Hi All, Everyone is doing great on MFP, I am loving us all adding our diaries and exercise too. I love it!

Hi Sara, Welcome back to running. Are you starting with the 5k app or?? There is absolutely nothing like a Workout high, It is the best anti depressant ever in the world. Our bodies release Endorphins and running is one that raises it pretty high, makes us feel better about ourselves and to push harder. For me, being a workout Lover, I feel great when I do and bummed when I don't... You got this and Good luck to you! Keep us posted....

Oh HOn GUest, About blowing out your knee. I hate being sidelined for an inury, grrrrrr...... Work on your upper body strength and abs, you can do those sitting down. Keep us posted!

Hi Tori, Welcome on here, and you can do this! Sounds like you will have an interesting career ahead of you. These running apps are absolutely amazing in training you for the Navy. They also have a PushUp Challenge app, situps, lunges, squats etc... Pretty cool. You will def need interval training for the Navy. Keep me posted on your progress, I am so curious! Good Luck!

Hi There Denise, These apps are absolutely wonderful in helping you to be able to run 5k, 10k, 13.6 and 21.2k runs. I am doing the 10k one and I love it. These forums are great for support and we cheer each other on here. I hope someone who has done the the 13.6 one helps you too. I am curious myself. I love the coaching of the app as I do not think I would this if it wasnt for it telling me what to do, lol. Too Lazy! Good Luck!

Hi Dixy, Congrats on new baby. Just make sure you clear it with you DR before you begin. Usually a Dr wants you to wait for at least 8 weeks..Keep me posted.

Hi TeTe, Winded? Like you cannot catch your breath? I think you should do some breathing exercises. At least 3x a day Breathe in deep and hold it in your lungs, there is an app called Peaceful Breathing and it is great for that. Also, Look up Oxycise, she shows you how to breathe. Not a lot of people know how to breathe deep into their lungs at all. Try that for a few days.. That should help.. We breathe so shallow most of the time.....

Hi. I'd do every other day. A lot of people, like me, want More, so I add in other days or just repeat the runs. I love 4-5 days a week and then do other workouts the other days. Cross training is great as you shock your body. Good luck.

You bet SuSu and Crawford. Great job.

Woohoo. Great job Ashlee. You got this. There is an article I psited about shin splints and this website has one under blogs I think about shin splints. Get great shoes is the number one thing for your shin splints. Good luck.

Hi Kiah, Just save that junk food for one day a week. We like to have a healthy breakfast on Saturday mornings and then cheat the rest of the day. Yo won't gain weight. You will actually bust some weight. Go back to healthy eating on Sunday. I can rarely eat fries anymore, makes me I'll and they WERE my favorite. Lol. You can do it. Make healthy versions if junk food. No bun on a burger, cauliflower mashed , etc. your body will love it.

Yes. Even just jog in place at home is perfect. What Ballan said about stretching. Never ever stretch muscles cold. Bad idea. Thanks Ballan.

Hope you are healing up Farmgirl. We all support each other in here. Woohoo.

Great job Asheley, Suoer duper proud of you. That is a great accomplishment. Feels great huh??? Keep it up. Woohoo.

Great Advice everyone. Thanks. Good idea Dana, I will try that too. Good luck running everyone.

Great job cookie. We decided to ride to the coast today, stayed in Tahoe last night so I'm going to be a week behind. Grrrrr. But it will be great. You are doing great Cookie.

Hey there. I'm stuck at week 5, day 1. Anniversary is today, so I haven't worked out the last few days. Back at it on Wednesday. Need to move. Lol. Repeat days If you need to. You can do it. Good luck.

Hi there. I seriously need to start a topic in this very subject. I repeat myself a lot. Lol. Welcome on here. Happy to have you. I'm excited for you to run. Now, do 3 days a week, I usually run another day too if I feel like it. I crosstrain other days. Get some great shoes, it makes all the difference. And eat healthy. Make sure you rest when your body tells you too. Good luck and keep us posted here.
