    Chugging along one mile at a time! (comments welcome)

    Sorry I've been away so long, things have been crazy! We bought a house and it was a foreclosure and the previous tenant left it absolutely trashed. I mean, like filthier than anything I've ever seen in my life. It has been a solid week of hauling out their trash, fixing walls, scrubbing...

    Haven't had time to workout today because we bought a house that needs a lot of TLC so that is a workout all to itself. I'm using today as my "off" day and tomorrow I will do my W1D3 C25k workout and then I get to clean all day long so I'll be burning plenty of calories. lol I'm going to have...

    "Are we there yet?": My journey from the couch to a 1/2 marathon!

    Oh man, good luck with that! Make sure you hydrate really well before and during that race. Congrats on taking the plunge to a 10k, I'll be excited when I do a couple 5ks and can move up to that. :-)

    Fitbit?

    Oooo... I'm very curious about that device as well. Would love to hear if anyone on here has one and what they think of it! I may just break down and get a Garmin Forerunner 210 though.

    I started it yesterday. :-) Here is a link to it http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2741019. My workout today was hard, I really don't enjoy running outside at all, I have the worst trouble pacing myself! I know I'll get better though and since you can't run the Princess 1/2 on the...

    Just finished my workouts for today. I did the W1D2 C25k workout and then came home and did the W2D3 workouts for the 200 situps and 100 pushups programs. The C25k workout was really hard, I was huffing and puffing during the running parts. I think my pace is too fast but if I go any slower...

    Thanks! I was trying to find a photo of me from my heaviest but my self-esteem was so bad that I never went anywhere or let anyone take pictures of me. I would just go to work and come home and eat myself into a carb coma and go to bed. Not healthy at all. I'm still terribly out of shape, I...

    So yesterday I did my C25k W1D1 workout and today I will be going for a 4 mile bike ride for my cross training day. I'm doing the Galloway run/walk method this time around because last time I did my C25k I was miserable without the walk breaks. My ultimate goal is to run for 3 minutes and walk...

    I was just thinking this morning that I should start my own journal so I think I will do that today. I've been really inspired by all the people on this board with their courage and honesty. :) It would be SO AWESOME if we could do the 2013 Princess 1/2 together! I'm trying to figure...

    Couch to 5k

    :cheer2::cheer2: Hooray! I'm really excited about really doing this and sticking with it this time. This time last year I was going through a horrible life change and after I finished the program I wasn't in a good place mentally to do anything with it. One year later my life is way different...

    Couch to 5k

    Hi everyone! I'm Robyn and I just started the C25K today. I did the W1D1 workout this morning and I signed up for my first 5k race for October 1st. I did the whole program last year and then totally quit running. I can't believe how out of shape I got in just that year. I'm starting...

    Way to go on finishing your first C25k workout! I just did my W1D1 workout today as well. I completed the program last year but then didn't keep running. I'm starting over from scratch again this year and I can't wait to keep going. I want to do either the Princess 1/2 in 2013 or the...

    From the Couch to the Princess 1/2 Marathon.. My Journey

    You are well on your way! I've started really training in the last few weeks for a longer distance. I did the C25k about a year ago but after that really slacked off running. Now I'm starting to really focus on it again and I'm going to stick with it. I've already dropped two pants sizes...

    Lindsay's journal.....3 half marathons later and I'm still at it updated 7/12

    I loved your whole thread! You are such an inspiration. I was tearing up looking at your photos. I cannot wait until I can do my first Disney race. I just started running seriously and am going to work my way up to a 1/2 marathon. Seeing your journal is just what I needed. I'm hoping to be...

    "Are we there yet?": My journey from the couch to a 1/2 marathon!

    Great job on your 5k time! You'll be ready for the 1/2 in no time. What type of Garmin do you have? I'm thinking about getting one.

    Can this be done?

    Whew, I was confused. I was thinking "well that's just a terrible motto". Lol I came in almost last in my first 5k. An 80 year old lady ran right past me (I was 28) but I was just so happy I did it! Walkdmc, you will rock that race out! Enjoy it. I haven't been able to do any Disney...
