Support

[ImMarcik]

I need support. I want to really start running again and I also want to get a wii this year. Since I haven't ran in 4 months at least, I am starting over. the past week I have been walking everyday and this coming weekend I plan to start the couch to 5 k again. But, I may try to finish a little faster then 9 weeks since I've done it before. Anyway, there are not a lot of people I know lately that like to run and won't understand my excitement. So, can I give updates here sometime? I have been talking to someone in particular I really want to workout with but lately life has been keeping us from spending more time together and I really can't use that as an excuse to not go on and continue running.

I've been running for about 2 years (started at 15 miles a week). At this point I've run a half marathon and would like to do more. the half I did was in September and now I'm finally starting to enjoy it again. the first 2-3 miles still stink, but after that, I'm good.

Let me know what you need. Another good site if you want something more than couch to 5K is Hal Higdon's site (just google it). I used his to train for my first 5K when all I did before that was walk on the tread.

You know we have a weekly walker/runner thread on the Events/Competition side of WISH. You could post there and will find many who will support you through this process. Many are training for specific events and many are just walking/running just because.

Thank you! I picked my race. I am going to do the TOT 13k. So, I have 9 months to train. I've been doing really good so far. The only thing is I pulled something in my back this morning.
