Call 911

I ran on my treadmill for the first time. OMG call 911!!!! I am over a year and half out of surgery and have always just walked, but my weight loss is at a stand still so I decided to change things up. Truthfully it felt really good. I didn't even know I could run!!! LOL! Didn't run much, but it was a start. How I love the things my band has helped me accomplish!!!

Since you are just starting to run a good thing to try is interval training.  That's where you walk for 2-3 minutes and then run for 1-2 minutes.  Since your not running the whole time you can do it longer.  I usually go for 60 minutes.  Have you heard of Couch to 5K...look it up. 

 My trainer says its a 1 to 4/5 ratio. Run for 1 at the fastest you can and walk for 4-5 half as fast for recovery.
I get a great work out when I do that.

I downloaded the Couch to 5K app on my iPhone 4 weeks ago. I am stuck between Weeks 3 and 4. Honestly, I can't believe that I'm running either. It is truly amazing. Look up the app, it's fun and very motivating!! All the best!!

Yay Janice!  It's amazing the new things we can do now!  wooHOOOOOO

Life is GOOD!
