Guest Sara Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hey everyone. 7 years ago, I was halfway through training for a marathon when I got mono. I couldn't run for months, and by the time I was well, I was completely out of shape. So here I am starting over. I just finished week 1 day 1, and I feel great! Good luck everyone. From experience, I know it does get easier :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdbeachgirl Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Welcome back to running! Are you training for a specific event or just getting back into the swing of things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sara Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I am just getting back in the swing of things :-) I have missed running, and I have gained a few extra lbs over the years. I was in the best shape of my life when I was running regularly! Plus that runner's high is incredredibly addicting!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 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....

ballanburden Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I feel your pain. I have completed two half marathons in the past but due to injuries have had to start over as well. Good luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sara Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Thanks for all the encouragement!!! I just finished W2D1. It feels weird to skip a day, so this week I am going to add some yoga on my non running days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kathleen Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Is it ok not to skip a day? I feel like I am not getting enough. I am a biker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hi Kathleen, Welcome Here! You choose, you know your body, seems like you are already in great shape, I am thinking you are a Bicyclist and not a Mortorcycle biker?? Even though i do the latter, It is a workout too, lol... Just make sure you do not overtrain and get burned out. Maybe try other things on other days? Bike, Swim, Crosstrain, weights.. Me, Myself, I like to run 4 days a week.. Up to you, Good luck!
