Wow, Steph! In no time, you'll be running 30 minutes without thinking about it! Great job!

Okay, tomorrow's the big run! I'm excited and nervous at the same time! I know that the 8-minute runs weren't that bad yesterday, but 20 just seems a lot bigger than 8! Haha I really hope I can start before I realize I'm awake.

Nice runnin'! I can't wait until I get up there with you and the other "Big Dogs," Jysmystry. Today's runs were fantastic!! I was really nervous about today's 2 8-minute runs, but they were a blast! I think the thing I like most about running first thing in the morning is that my mind is s...

First off, you've posted about this 6 months in advance, so if you start training right away, it won't be a problem, and you will most likely enjoy it! Second, I'll tell you what my plan is: I started the Get Running app the day after Christmas, and, Lord willing, will finish it February 24th. At th...

Sounds like you've got some great motivation, Karen! It's awesome that you've decided to start; that's the hardest part! You'll be extremely surprised that, in just a couple weeks, you'll actually be LOOKING FORWARD to your next run! I also live in the country, and this morning was my first pre-sunl...

That's great! I've really enjoyed watching everyone here progress, but I didn't think I would actually be able to join in this conversation. Now, I guess it's time for me to jump in! This morning I ran w5r1 (I can't believe I've made it this far!), and it all went smoothly! I'm really excited, yet c...

Sadly, this week I'm changing my routine. With the start of my new semester, I have to be at school two hours earlier than I've had to last semester, which means an early rise, starting tomorrow! I'm a morning person, so I hope all this won't bother me too bad, but starting this week, I'll be gettin...

I second everything ausgirl just said! I went running in the FREEZING COLD this morning, and before this year, I wouldn't even run in the summer time! I'm addicted! I need something else to push me along after Get Running! We all know that B210K may work, but it's nothing without a loving voice to p...

The one that always gets me going is:

It's amazing!

Wow, Jysmystry, I can't wait til you run the half marathon! Also, thanks for all the encouragement! I ran week 4 run 2 today, and had quite the tough time with it. I hope Friday's run goes a lot better! But if not, I'll at least look forward to week 5 and the (gasp) 20 minute run! Thanks!
