maretacheney Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm in week two of a 5k. I really want to get back into shape and get running again continuously. Just looking for another runner who is motivated and driven, to feed off each other's energy! Message me! -- Happy Running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisha.h.p. Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'm starting week 2 on Sunday. I run Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday and do other workouts in between. I started this to prep for a 5k on March 13 this year and could always use the extra motivation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creiben Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I am getting ready to start week 2, training to finish 6 miles in a marathon relay in April. I haven't run anything more than a mile since back surgery six or so years ago. Looking for motivation to stay with it! I'm planning on wk2d1 tomorrow.

maretacheney Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Wow! Back surgery, good for you for jumping back on the horse! The body is truly amazing at how fast it bounces back. I did wk3day1 today and I actually found it much easier than last week's training. Do is exciting it's getting more enjoyable! Just keep going, and play some great music!!

maretacheney Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Trisha, March 13 is my birthday! Haha! Did you go for a run yesterday? How was it? I'm doing a 5k on March 15, and a 10k June 5. I think it's going to be a great year of running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creiben Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 So far so good. I am not in very good shape but have made it this far. Week 3 day 1 tomorrow...it still seems like a chore to make the time to run...when does it change and become a joy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torus_ot Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 So far so good. I am not in very good shape but have made it this far. Week 3 day 1 tomorrow...it still seems like a chore to make the time to run...when does it change and become a joy? It depends. Some people are motivated by straggle, others, like myself, need feasible accomplishment. I doubt that I will ever enjoy the running, but I will be extremely happy when I get my weight under 200. Your goal is 6 miles in April. I would select few small intermediate goals on this path and celebrate them as achievements. This will be great motivation for some people. maretacheney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maretacheney Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yeah I agree Torus_it. Make sure and take each run as they come. Make sure and focus on your breathing when your running. Stretching before and after each run will help your muscles relax. Making it more enjoyable for your next run. I hope your time get more enjoyable, they will trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creiben Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks guys, I think identifying some intermediate goals would be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
