maretacheney Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm in week two of a 10k. I really want to get back into shape and get running again continuously. Just looking for another dinner who is motivated and driven, to feed off each other's energy! Let me know -- Happy Running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrielynn719 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I just finished w1d2 of the 5k!! Trying to get back in shape to run some half marathons again!! Good luck on the c210k program!! 10ks are my favorite distances!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maretacheney Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks for your message! I'm in the same position as you, starting the new year off right. I realized yesterday that I was a Little in over my head with the 10k training, so I decided to go to the 5k program, so I'm now currently on w2d3. I'm feeling much more comfortable starting here. I have been getting some pretty intense pain on the inside of my calf just above my ankle. So just icing it and that seems to help. I really do enjoy running. I have only done 5k and 10k races, not a half marathon, they scare me! Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrielynn719 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I get Charlie horses in my calls now...once I get back in shape I'm not going to lose it again!! Half marathons aren't that bad surprisingly. Except I usually get passed by speed walkers halfway through and can't catch them, I might be intolerably slow at running but I used to enjoy it.!! Good luck! Do you have a foam roller? Would that possibly help with the pain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maretacheney Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 No I don't have a foam roller. I'm going to have to get one. I'm starting my third week, and surprisingly the pain and discomfort had really gone away this last week which is great! Makes running much more enjoyable. How is your training going?

kerrielynn719 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Just got through day 2 and it wasn't as bad, definitely appreciative of my foam roller and working out my running muscles. Thankfully it rained her so the sidewalks weren't as slippery here, which was helpful... I can't wait to be able to run again the way I used to! Have you signed up for any races yet? Or waiting til you get closer to being done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maretacheney Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Yeah me too! It's getting much easier, I can't believe it. I was actually just looking up races here in Houston. And I just signed up for a 10k on June 5! I figure that gives me plenty of time to train and get in great shape. The body of truly amazing at how it can transform and become comfortable with running. Just like you I used to run a lot and then stopped. Nice to be getting back into it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blayne Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Anything u do pregame running? I usually have coffee and a snack and afterwards fill up on water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maretacheney Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Just got back from run 3! Feeling very good. The only thing that's bugging me is a spot just above my right ankle on the inner side. Weird. Icing it now. I always run in the morning, so I start with some water and black coffee. Then I make some oatmeal. After running I usually jug a big bottle of water and stretch. I'm sorry excited about the progress and of course the weight loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I drink my coffee black too. Congrats on your progress. I never do any stretching. I'm bad. Kudos on the oatmeal. I usually have a nutrisystem breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maretacheney Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yeah I drink one cup of coffee in the morning and the rest of the day is cold been tea and water. Stretching is do key, will it is for me anyways! Lol. Especially after the run. Oatmeal is so awesome! I just do the original flavor and its instant. So sorry quick and convenient. And cheap too! When do you run next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blayne Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hey cold been tea..never heard of it. I stick to my kcup coffee all day like 7 or 8 cups. Oatmeal is one of my favorites with toast. I like Quaker Oats. I'm thinking of running again tomorrow morning if I'm not too sore. That would be too days in a row so I am breaking the rules!
