KrazieKoochi Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Finished day 1 of week 1. This my 2nd attempt at this. Had a lumbar discectomy last year and have been depressed due to chronic back pain for more than 3 years. Looking for support, motivation and inspiration. I hope I can find it here KrazieKoochi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dohojo Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 First day.... WOW! I didn't realize how out of shape I am. I have a hydration "Mule" pack strapped to my back with its sipper straw which holds my H20 and my iPad Air. Turn on Pandora on the iPad for music, then the C25K app and then all to soon the app is telling me I've completed day one. It is a good thing I did this after dark as I'm sure my jogging looked like death warmed over... I use my iPad instead of my iPhone because it is louder and I don't have to use earphones. I just serenade the neighborhood as I shuffle by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dohojo Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 To KrazieKoochi: I also have a tender lower back condition. I put gel heel pads under the inner sole of my running shoes and wear one of those stretchy Velcro closure back supports for comfort for my lower back. It helps a lot for me.
