Calling FHC1 and anyone else who is interested.

[sahlady]

FHC1 made a post this summer about couch to 5K and wanting to eventually do a marathon..... anyone else interested?

I used to be in great shape, but have let myself go.  Today I walked 3 miles and not only was very slow but could feel it in my body.  HOWEVER,  I will be doing a full marathon this spring.  So who is with me????  Anyone?????

If you are interested make a goal.  Find a race you want to do.  Be reasonable, if you have never run your not going to do a marathon next week.  But if you have never run there is no reason a marathon shouldnt be the goal... if you want.

So post what your goal race is: 5K, 10K, 1/2 marathon, full marathon.... any or all of the above.  All levels welcome.

Lets see how many are interested.  Once we see how many are interested then we will start to set a reasonable time line for our goals.

**disclaimer - please be honest with yourself about your current health.  If need be get your doctors approval.  I will only be suggesting goals, and you will be getting feed back from NON professionals.  Please seek professional advice if you have no current knowledge on running, running shoes, stretching, and injury preventive measures.

When I can (with my work schedule) I train with the kids that are doing cross country.... I would love to be running again this spring

[sahlady]

cross country is a 5K right.  Want to do a 5K this spring... or up it to a 10K or 1/2 marathon?

5k which I think works out to being 3.3miles

[sahlady]

where do you live?  Is your second a 10K too?  I guess it is almost time for that 1/2 marathon.

Hi! Family history of anyuerism (sp?) so last time I tried on treadmill got a weird feeling in chest. I am supposed to go yearly to cardiologist. Checked my file and last visit 2009. So I am overdue! Going tomorrow! When I get the all clear I want to get back on the treadmill.
