Respectable is finishing. Your time does NOT matter. Speed will come later.

I wouldn't try a half just yet. Maybe a 10k. That doesn't mean you can't do it. It's just my opinion.

I don't know exactly what causes side stitches. I generally get them if I haven't been hydrating, eating crummy and I'm breathing too shallowly. Slow down and breathe through them. It'll go away.

Eat normally. If you have already been running the distance, there's no need to modify. Hydrate well the day before, don't have a heavy breakfast (you do need breakfast though) and hit it. Good luck.

Stay with it. Consider slowing down. Maybe you can't do the minute b/c you're going too fast.

Re: Tips For Helping Along Weight Loss During C25K?

juststarted — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 00:34:13 GMT

There is a saying around here:

"Run for fitness. Eat LESS to lose weight". I didn't lose a pound during C25K, but I lost inches. Don't watch what you're eating, eat less of it.

Don - Glad to hear you're doing OK. I am not sure what shoulder pain you're referring to, but I imagine it's somewhat similar to what I experienced w/ my C-sections and laparoscopy. Is it the air?? If so, a heating pad helped me immensely as did something else which you can send me a message on FB if you're really, really interested. Again, I am really proud of you and I hope your friend is doing as well. When will the doctors feel he's no longer in danger of rejecting your awesome kidney?

Lynn - I am so sorry about your cat. I still miss Humphrey. It's incredibly hard to lose a pet.
