GATEWAY TO 8K, PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT, COUCH TO 5K 'ERS

Morning Yall

WARNING....WARNING.... 
NEVER HAVE SEX AT 1:00 am KNOWING YOUR ASS HAS TO GET UP IN 6 HOURS TO RUN 4 MILES.  

My run was absolute hell,  I was so exhausted I thought I would just stop and fall asleep.   I didn't want to do it cause I was to tired, I could not focus cause I was to tired, I almost stopped cause I was to tired.     BUT I DID IT !!!!

If I didn't have a class tonight I would do this run over, but I run everyday now so I will be fine.   This is the 2nd run of week 2 and I am feeling pretty strong about it so far.   I'm exctied to see what week 3 brings.

I hope you all had a better run than I did.

LEE ~ I am crying laughing over here. Your warning is the very reason I didn't do my run...........just couldn't get out the bed after our 2:00 a.m rendezvous. I'm sooooooooo slipping but will try to get it in today after work.

   Girl, I swear I wanted to stop so dam bad,  My mind kept saying you can do it later but I know I won't have time later so I pushed through it and I swear I will NOT be doing that again. 

It really was torture

Hey Lee...

Name is Valerie and have been a lurker for several months. Just wanted you to know how inspiring you have been. The scale has been creeping up a little and I have been trying to get motivated to regularly exercise. Your post a couple of weeks ago when you completed the couch 25k did it!

Couple other folks I know have joined me in startign the program. Just the encouragement I needed!

We are on week 1 day 2 and I am SOOOO shocked that I can jog!

Just wanted you to know that you (and all of you on this forum) are inspiring and sometimes you don't even know it!

Keep up the great work on the 8k and maybe I'll grow up to be like you one day!

Hey to everyone! Have truly enjoyed reading the forum so I'll try to join in now that I have come out of the shadows!

Hi Fionna

I am really happy you and your friends have decided to do the couch to 5K.   You are going to be amazed how fast you progress, try not to miss days and set yourself back.

I am always here to encourage anyone who needs it.  I pretty much just try to do my thing and if it helps someone Awesome !!!

Congrats and welcome to the world of running,  it's hell on the knees but burns a ton of fat.

Fionna,

I'm so glad you came out of that closet or "lurker mode". Lee has inspired me as well and I am not encouraging 8 of my sisters to do the couch to 5k with me as well.

~ you can do it; I'm on week 2!

That is so cool Fionna

I am so excited for you and your sisters,  Keep up the good work girl.
