Week 1, Run 1... here I go...

Post by GregCahoots »

I just wanted to say hello to everyone.
I did my first run last night and am looking forward to tomorrow. I am inspired reading everyone's personal stories of perseverance and you have collectively pushed me to start. I have had the app on my phone for the better part of 8 months and kept putting it off. Not any more.
Thanks to all!
Away we go...

Hi there, I too just finished week 1 run 1. Very pleased with myself. Had a run track app on my mobile phone while I used Get Running on my Ipod. Ran and walked 1.88 miles in the 28+ minutes. It's been years since I ran, I'm 63 and have been using a stationary bike since Jan 2nd. I'm biking 17 miles in 45 minutes and have lost two stone since Jan 2, but now that weather is getting a little better wanted to try running and 5k / 3 miles is a good goal.
