IOWL Runners

[Guest guest]

Morning, !

Sounds like you are having a wonderful, joyful, mindful naturally slender

today. My wish for myself! LOL!

Will match you on the 2 back exercises, chest, biceps and abs. I will

naturally get all of that in in my little class this morning but I will

mindfully do something later today for each muscle group. You can't know how

much you are helping me! and how much I appreciate it.

Thank you again and continue to have a wonderful day!

Hi all,

I may want to join your little running support group! And I totally agree

about the subject line suggestion (being a librarian in training )

I am 54, just out of grad school (where I was home, grazing all the time!),

lost about 20 pounds on Weight Watchers, while also listening to IOWL, since

October, but have plateau'd at 190 or so. I think the tracking was like a

little fad; I have not sustained that habit. My goal is to be 5'8 and

160-164. I remember how athletic and sexy I felt at my right weight, but I

am feeling so much better than when I was 20 pounds heavier that I think

I've become complacent and just started to enjoy this weight. Somehow the

monthly cost of $40 is not enough of an away motivator for me! The WW

program won't be free till I reach that oh so elusive goal.

My own two cents re: iTunes running programs: I did start a great couch to

5K program called Get Running -- wonderfully simple to use, and you can

listen to your own music.(Has some visuals, if you have iPod touch). A very

encouraging female British voice breaks in, pausing your music, and lets you

know when to walk and when to run as you are revving it up. (If you use

iTunes, you might be able to find my remix that I created called Uptempo---I

put together 15 or 16 songs where the tempo starts out walking speed and

gradually increases, tho it's not perfect, but I have to have music I

enjoy!!)

I had got to the third week or so (another fad?) and had noted amazing

progress...then got tired of the discipline. I have only been doing it on

the treadmill at the gym to control the incline and so it would be softer on

my joints. I would do it after yoga. Now I've reverted to socializing after

yoga or pilates or going home to have lunch. Maybe with beautiful spring

here, I should find a nearby track or flat area to try the walk/run program.

It's a very individual way of starting to run so I doubt I would find a

buddy. But maybe on here, I will find some encouragement, if you accept a

beginning runner! I've never run over 2-3 miles in my life, but would be

very satisfied to achieve 2 miles at this point. I have a dog who loves to

run with me (as long as she gets her sniffing out of the way first).

O.

PS I might try the shoe fitting suggestion as well!
