Re: [Body for Life Women's Club]Gloria-10K Digest Number 2273

[Guest guest]

Hey Gloria -

I think you definitely have hope of building up the miles by then. We have

6 months to work up to it. I'm going to work just to finish it without

walking, not worry too much about time. The one I want to do I walked last

year - Bellin Run in Green Bay, WI. I was in the Army National Guard for 6

years so I'm accustomed to running at least 2 miles for time and when I'm

doing well in my 20-min HIIT I can get 2.7 miles in 30 minutes (with a 5

minute walk before and after). I noticed in another post a reference to a

website called www.coolrunning.com . I checked it out and they have

different training programs for different levels of fitness and a lot of

suggestions.

My big problem is the fact that I run on a treadmill. HUGE difference

between treadmill running and running outside. I just don't do cold weather

running (and I live in Wisconsin!). So hopefully by April/May I'll be able

to get outside and see how well running on the treadmill is preparing me!

Keep posting your progress and I will mine, too, OK?

Hey add me to your watch list...I did a 5K last year and it

was such an exhilerating feeling crossing that line...no matter what

your time was. Well, actually I have NO idea what my time was due to

me not having a watch and having to wait about 10 minutes for the

crowd to die down so we could run (I did the Komen 5K which

was also a walk)!! That was one downfall to BFL I found was not

being able to really train the way I wanted to for runs. I will

check out that site though, thanks. I'd like to work my way up to a

10K as well. My 1st goal however is the St. 's Day 5K so I

need to get going!

(and I'm with you...I'll never be 'that' person running outside in

the cold. It was 7 degrees here today. No thank you.)
