Oh I am glad to see I am not the only running/jogging addict here. I can't get enough. I started some time ago with it being something I hated and could only get through with some music in my ears but now I don't even need that.Now I find myself never wanting to stop and can go for a very long time. My running time is my solace. A place and time to clear my head and feel the air against my skin. It is really peaceful and healing for me. I not only get my adrenaline going but it takes away all my stress and leaves me feeling ready to conquer the world with ease.
Aww....time for a run I think LOL |

On the road to recovery............
I'm a runner here, just recovering from a broken ankle.
I was able to start running again after nearly 5 months of healing & rehabing. I'm working back up to 5 miles a day..................I am currently, barely loggin 2 miles a day. I just signed up to run Disney in January, I figured that would be a good goal to get me back on track. Keep on runnin & walkin!

 Five miles is amazing, and I hope to be able to say the same some day!!I set myself back on cardio when we went on vacation and then came back sick.  I'm still on the mend from whatever-the-hell that bug was/is, but I am completely committed to gettin' back after it once the congestion clears!Today I'm going to start up again with mild stretching and low numbers of pushups and situps.......just to get my body used to the activity again. I don't want to do too much for fear of some sort of relapse. But, like I said, I still feel good and focused. *two thumbs up*

running
Thanks Thinker for the welcome. Congrats to everyone here for getting out and doing it. When I first began on the treadmill I could only walk at 3.5 level 1 for 10 mins. The green smoothies, and juicing has certainly been a HUGE part of my improvement and progress.
Doing something everyday is what I keep my mind, and body on. Greco |

I have stumbled upon a method to improve your speed and distance at the same time, with out any extra training. First you must begin your run in darkness am or pm as long as its dark. Then you should plan your route to include an unknown prime hiding spot for racoons. I tend to favor the ones with rabies or babies. When they come bounding out of nowhere and begin to chase you ,for what seems like 2 miles, (ok maybe it was 20 ft) not only will it cause you to sprint like Marion Jones, thus improving your run time, it will also motivate you to choose an alternate return route, lengthening your normal run distance. I look forward to sharing more tips in the future.

I've just started week 7 of 9 (C25k program).
I'm up to running 22minutes, with no walking intervals. I "should" be at 25minutes (all 3 of my runs this week are 25min, no walk) but I'm not quite there yet. 22minutes is a challenge for me. But I'm just going to keep running and if I only increase to 23minutes this week I'll will be patient with myself. I started on the treadmill last week; I was able to set and keep my pace, my breathing was easier and more consistent and I had less joint/muscle pain as I ran... but I can see how it could get boring. We've had a beautiful weekend so I took my runs outside this weekend.

I ran 25minutes yesterday!
I was so proud - I nearly cheered myself on the treadmill. I've been trying for over a week to break 20-22minutes (I know it seems such a small increment, but my god its been a challenge). I'm definitely finding it easier to extend my endurance on the treadmill. My breathing is consistent and not as hard and I'm able to maintain my pace; both things I struggle with when I'm running on the bike path. After finishing yesterday I thought "I can run" - for the first time since I started this program in August.
