I like to run. Well, it’s more like wogging (walk+jogging) but whatevs. I get the job (ie mileage) done. Prior to October 2009, I was vehemently OPPOSED to running. I mean, it hurt, I sweated a lot, my breathing sucked, and did I mention that it hurt? Why would I want to willingly and knowingly [...]

I am reposting this from earlier in the year! I know there are a lot of you who are doing the Couch-to-5K program or who have previously done it, and we would love to hear from you!! If you are anything like me, then you try running for a few minutes, huff and puff, can’t [...]
Straight off the treadmill and I just had to share the fact that I ran even though I wasn’t being chased. In the past I figured why run if I didn’t have to? Well times are a changing. Yesterday Melissa posted the couch to 5k program for our Fitness Fridays and it was just the [...]
New to running? Read more on how-to get started here! If you are anything like me, then you try running for a few minutes, huff and puff, can’t catch your breath, and slow to a walk. That’s my story. I have big dreams of being a runner, if only I could run longer than three [...]
