On injured reserve for ten more days, and I'm paranoid to see how much I've lost.

Will a moderator please delete my last entry to help me avoid looking like (or at least more of) an idiot??? :) |

Well, I'm not proud so I'll be the first. Maybe it will help others to post their times when they see how much better theirs is than mine.
I think that my best was about 27:40. Now stop laughing so hard and post your own. |

I don't know how you guys bust your butt for so long. I ran as hard as I could for as long as I could and still finished 5 mintues behind you guys.
Although, that was my fastest 5k time and I'm down to 239 (from 260 dec 1) |

Any sign of overuse injuries? |

Geeze, I'd be walking with seventy pounds on me. |
Well, first time under 20:00. I got a 19:44 on Saturday.
My goal for the end of last year was to run under 20 min by the end of the year. I was kind of dissapointed it didn't happen, but only running 3 times in the last 3 months didn't help either. Weird thing is for this run, I was going to go out and so a long slow distance and run around 5 miles (that is long for me). So I start off and stick to the road and was feeling pretty good. I checked my time and speed at around the 2 mile mark and it said I was running a under a 6:30 pace, I couldn't believe it so I said what hte hell, guess I will try adn keep it going for one more. After I finished the 5 k I took it easy getting home, right around a 7:05 pace for the last 2 miles. now I jsut need to learn to go out slower when I actually intend on doing so. |

and thanks for the encouragement. I can't think of missing a day anymore. Had you told me last year I would be (able to run) running this much I would have passed out due to laughter. |

So I have only been running for a month and I've lost 13 pounds so far. Today I actually timed a 5K and I did it in 29:36. That wore me out. I have no clue how you do a 5K under 20 minutes. That is beyond my thinking.
|
I've never run 5k in my life. I can't imagine running that far.

i ran a 26:15 (approx) w/ steelblue on monday night. that dude can glide quickly and is way too fast for me. however, he has graciously ran with me a few times over the last few weeks and i have completed faster times (including my first sub 8 min mile) than i ever thought i would.

I still want to break 1:30 some day, but perhaps my wish is in vain, as that 7:00 mark seems to cause me to break down injurywise. I know I'm a wimp but at least I try. |

This is an interesting thread
I'm new to the site, but I found this to be an interesting idea. I'm always looking for some sort of motivation to make me workout more and I like the idea of having a forum like this to help me set goals and give a little bit of accountability.
I tried following the link from the first page of this thread to the site where I can supposedly enter times, but it tells me it doesn't exist anymore. Am I just technologically inept? As for my 5K time; well I haven't been timed in many years, but my fastest ever official time was 15:36 (in high school, very flat course). I'm kind of excited to time myself tonight. I think if I hit 24 minutes, I'll be VERY happy with myself. |

Runnercoug was maintaining that site, but I don't know if it ever got off of the ground. Do you have an iPod Nano? Most of us are logged into the NikePlus system and have several challenges ongoing over there, both for speed and distance. |

29:51
but I did it. That was 3 months ago, and I think I'd be 27ish but now. I've been running.
|
How far is 5K? Maybe I'll go out and run one to see how fast I am at it.
