I finished my W1RI this morning. The first 5 runs were cool but the last 3 were torture. I haven't been jogging since college but it felt good to back into it. All my breathing techniques came back to me, and I made sure to stretch like a mad man. I am going to take this one day at a time and hopefully as a treat to myself, if I can successfully complete week 1, I will treat myself to some new running shoes.
Thanks for this app, and thanks to all of your guys' forum posts and inspiration.
Take care.

Re: Back in The Saddle..
Welcome and good luck with your runs I highly recommend you get running shoes as not only so they help prevent injury but also once you've forked out something it helps keep that motivation 
Re: Back in The Saddle..
I agree Chrissy! I am going to get them but the store hours prevents me from going until the weekend. Thanks again for the advice.Chrissyteacup wrote:Welcome and good luck with your runs I highly recommend you get running shoes as not only so they help prevent injury but also once you've forked out something it helps keep that motivation

Re: Back in The Saddle..
Welcome to the forum! This spot is the best place for motivation and inspiration there is. When I first started I chose not to look ahead to what I was going to be expected to do and just ran one run at a time. The first week was hardest for me because the idea if running 8 runs was horrifying! now I only run one longer run, but it's only 1 run! It's such a mind game... Enjoy your running and let us all know about the new shoes!

Re: Back in The Saddle..
Thank you Sheri! I'm trying not to look ahead but I must say that today's run was a little easier. Legs a little sore but expected. I'm walking around the office a little crazy. But I'm looking forward to some new shoes.Not a runner-yet! wrote:Welcome to the forum! This spot is the best place for motivation and inspiration there is.
