Hey- sounds just like me- also fell off the wagon- having some joint issues- really hoping to get those straightened out shortly and get back to the one hour runner!

isn't it sad I guess all good things must come to an end.

YAY For the OHR program- today is day 1 week 2 for me! We should start our own thread for OHR or we could email and keep each other motivated- sure is going to be hard with the holidays to keep it up!

I just completed the sit up program and am on week 3 of the push up (i cheat- big time- i do push ups against the kitchen counter- just dont' have enough upper body strength to do them on the floor)

I am SO sorry to hear about your dog- it is very hard to loose one, especially when they are a part of your family for so long.

I started the one hour runner last week- tonight is my week 2 day 1 run.

Good luck with it- it feels GREAT to run for 30 min- This program I have decided not to look at the clock on the treadmill- I just know i have to make it through 7 songs- SO much easier! I'd love to have a OHR buddy- so keep posting!

Re: Training for a 1/2....new to running...bad idea?

while i am also new to running- I can tell you what I am using. I finished the C25K in October and just started the One Hour Runner program this week

from there I think I am going to use :

I have also thought about buying a book about running> i know once you start running past 30 min- nutrition during the run becomes important and I don't know a thing about that. I've been looking over this site quite a bit but can't find what i need to know- so a book it is!

it is a program that can follow the C25K when you are looking to move on to longer runs

Is anyone else starting the One Hour Runner Program this week?

I finished the C25K about a month ago- apparently took a VERY long break from running But started up today. DId my first 30 min run. Was hoping to have a support thread like I had for the C25K.

Hey Ladies- Congrats on all the weight loss! I took measurements a while ago but have so often "fallen off the wagon" when it comes to eating. Also I don't have very much to lose so I am not expecting to see big changes- i jsut want my work pants (dress pants) to fit better. When i first started my pants were feeling great and now they are a bit tight- So like seedswesow- i don't weigh my self- it is all how my clothes feel.

SO i finally started REALLY started One Hour Runner program. Today was day 1. Ran 30 min- 3 miles. Was TIRED! hahaha. I am hoping to run a 10 K in the new year- Feburaryish. Cna't find one right now but I'm sure in the new year there will be more posted.

I have also made a long term goal- Either the half marathon or full marathon in Disney in 2011. I am going to aim for the half and if mid year next year things are going well- i'll push for the full.

So glad some of us are managing to stay with this tread. I love the support and really need it!

Hey! Thanks for asking- bump on the head is feeling MUCH better! Am going to get on the treadmill today and *try* and start the OHR- not sure if i'll be able to do the full 30 min as i have been off for SO long- but looking forward to feeling healthy again!

Kate- I feel your pain. I have hip problems (well all joint problems- waiting to get into a specalist- been waiting over a year- frickin Canadian health care- but i digress) too. I thought that running wouldmake all of my joint problems flare up- but i've noticed that since i've been off for a few weeks- that my joints are sorer (is that a word?) than ever. Still getting over a cold and the whole head hitting fiasco- then i can't WAIT to get back at it! Hope your doctor can provide you some relief!

WOW- i can't IMAGINE running a 5K after not running for 2 weeks AND doing it in such a great time! good for you!

I am SUPPOSED to be starting the OHR- but honest to god every time i try and start something happens. Yesterday I cracked my head on the mailbox and have had a lot of pain every since- just an awful headache that i can't get rid of- but i guess seeing as it did happen yesterday- a headache is normal. So i'm still planning on starting OHR- as soon as i can I've also been doing the 200 crunches- just finished week 6 and i'm now on week 2 of the 100 push ups- mind you i'm doing my pushups against the wall- cheating but at least i'm doing it
