Rest, eat right, dont skip runs. Understand that there will be days you dont want to run. Run anyway, because those will be the days that you will feel the best about you! Understand that you will have bad runs. But those are the runs that make the good ones feel so good! ![wink wink](/forum/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif)

Last year I did the C25K program, completed that...and then the holidays hit and I stopped running. Boo to me, I know. So to answer your question mani, I don't really know how much/far I am running right now. According to the 10K app calendar, if I run every other day, the very last run/workout will be the day of the actual race. Thought that was a pretty sweet coincidence. The app looks just like the C25K program with a gradual increase in time/distance.
Thanks, bbb! Making myself run when I don't want to will be the hardest part.
BTW, my Weimaraner is thrilled I am running again!

If you were able to complete the C25k program... I bet you'd be able to do this one. I was just curious if you were starting from nothing (as in, haven't run in 10 years) or were already running periodically on your own.
"Rest, eat right, dont skip runs." Yes. Make sure you have good shoes.
Best of luck to you!

A wise man once told me: If you can run a 5k, you can run a marathon. It's all mental.

A wise man once told me: If I can run a 5k, you can run a marathon. It's all age related. BBB? It's very much mental, though of course your joints etc. do need to stay together. Do it right and you can do anything though!

New sneaker weekend! I just got a fancy new pair of Brooks Glycerins (since the 8 miles I did yesterday made me want to tear my feet off, I figure the old Asics Cumulus' are overdue for the graveyard.) I'll break them in on some short runs (and trade off with my old Scotts, which survived so much better than the Asics.)
I have to really start working on my mileage, since the Shamrock run is in only 10 weeks... Half-marathon here I come!

I wish I could run well in Newton's. Lots of the people that use them are getting 1500-1600 miles out of them! Thats 3 times what I get out of any of mine. <<<< Closet looks like a running shoe store. ![blush blush](/forum/images/graemlins/default/blush.gif)

I received a FB message from a guy who has been a friend since early childhood. Like me, he's basically a lifelong non-athlete. He said learning that I ran a few 5K races last year inspired him. He's now training for his first 5K. He's up to 2.5 miles. It made it easier for me to get up early and run today.

But her mom is what, 45? Not that old! You're working up your distances, and doing what you want to do. Not everybody's destined to do the long stuff, you have to want to get there before you ever start training to get there. If you want it, you can get it.

This made me feel lazy: I have a girlfriend who just ran her first marathon, and this weekend I saw that her MOTHER just registered for her first half marathon! I was like, awww iFAIL. I just have some more Little Debbie snack cakes when I feel this way, it helps me cope.

Brain, That is great!!! I always say that one of the best things about getting into shape is that you never know whose life you may influence. It may be one of the best parts!! For Basil and Mani, In a sense we all fall off the wagon after every run or every workout and after every meal. Each time is a new challenge to overcome. Just jump back on. It's sooo much better than beating yourself up. ![wink wink](/forum/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif)

I've been running outside (temps in the 20's, windchill single digits to teens), but its because I still have races going on and they are outside. Cold air is definitely tougher when breathing heavily. For me, its all about wearing the righ layers. I wear only tech cloth and its in layers (three up top, two below). Top - tech cloth, skin tight tee. Underarmour coldgear long sleeve and a New balance running jacket that just keeps wind out. Botton - nike compression shorts and underarmour coldgear running tights Hat - Livestrong fleece Gloves - New ablance running mittens feet - smartwool running socks
I also have other Nike and Hind running gear. I find a lot of my stuff at Marshall's for cheap! $10-$20 for the tights. $7-$10

Are there any park district classes you could sign up for during the winter months? They are usually pretty well priced if you are in their district.
