Congrats on getting started. A 5k by August should be very doable. It wouldn't surprise me if you were able to get one in before that, even.

Post often, ask questions, help others. We're all part of this great sport together. The more you participate, the easier it is.

If you haven't gotten a competant doc's ok to do this, now's the time to do so.

Looking forward to reading your first race report.

my long term goal is not to die from lack of excersize...

I am a really fat Clydesdale, picture one who has been sitting on the couch eating chips for several years...

I am 46 years old, 5'7" and weigh 320 pounds..... I want to run a 5K next August.

I was diagnosed with MS 2 years ago, only to be undiagnosed 2 months ago... "Oops, my bad" said my doctor...

I spent 2 years thinking "if I am going to die unable to swallow, I might as well enjoy myself now... More cheesecake, please."

what do you know, now I am not going to die, so I decided to get my life back together...

After some time, I no longer rage at my own choice to lose 2 years, but rather the gift of my life back and the chance to celebrate being alive...

how's that for goals, eh?

First month of the year that I ran close to my base mileage goal .....144. Barring the return of injuries, I should be right at 150 for December.

Way to go and welcome aboard. Any long term goals, or are you taking it one step at a time?

I can guarantee you that I'm not running 50 miles on my next birthday.

cgerber - Run you age - Sounds like fun. My only problem is one of my favorite races is 3 days after my birthday - Not the best time to crank out 39 miles.

November was a pretty low month due to injuries and sickness. I'll probably wind up with about 120 miles. December should be better, weather permitting. Shooting for about 175 miles for December. I have to run my age on my birthday (which is in December) so that will help a lot with the mileage. !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!
