Getting started

[Jaxster]

My name is Jacqueline and it's been years since I ran. Moved from Canada to Indianapolis for hubby's work and have gained 50lbs in 6months.!

 

Yesterday I went for a run and made it 1k before neatly Keeling over so my husband suggested this app to help.

 

I would love to meet people just starting out on this for some motivation and accountability so if there is anyone out there looking for the same just drop me a message. I figure if I have someone going through the same I am more likely to stick with it.

 

Thanks folks and happy running

Hi Jacqueline, I am new here also. I just did week 1 day 1 also tonight and like you ... put on over 50lbs in a short amount of time... and its not coming off! Also like you, I used to be a runner. I used to run 2 miles about 4 times a week and never looked better. Well fast forward 6 yrs later... had another baby and here I am. I feel plumpy and dumpy.  

 

I hope you like living in the states. 

How are you doing so far?

Hi my name is rock and I'm just starting out I have never ran like this before yes I've gone on long walks but this is totally new and thanks to a friend of mine who outfitted me with a beautiful pair of running shoes thanks to her discount I'm able to get started on the right foot so to say I'm looking forward to this I've been wanting it for a long time I'm 55 years old and when I see other people older than me in better shape than me it scares me I'm a truck driver and I need to do something as I sit on my butt all day long doing absolutely nothing but look out a window with a steering wheel in my hand this is my little bit to get me back in shape and enjoying life
