"The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe." (Proverbs 18:10) Good evening ladies! I had a busy day and just finished up our Bible study, so I wanted to post and say hello! I had fun today helping out with the shelter! I had 11 kittens in my car bringing...

Good morning runners! I had to be somewhere by 7:30 this morning so I actually got out for my run at 6:30am. I usually run around 8am and I have to say, it's soooo much nicer to run earlier in the morning! It was so breezy & cool, and the sky looked beautiful! Today was Week 6, Day 2. I did...

"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" (Joshua 24:15) Iris, how is your ankle feeling today? I get that pain sometimes too, I find it helps to strech the achilles tendon. You probably have to get used to your new sneakers. I give you credit for doing that 30/30 class after the...

Hello everyone! Jenn, I used to work in Newburgh! Accord is pretty far from me, I remember wanting to apply for a job at an animal sanctuary there and my hubby said the trip wouldn't be worth the pay. How long does it take you to get to Newburgh everyday??? That's a hike, isn't it...

Hello runners! Welcome, Jenn!! I got excited when I read your post because I live in the Hudson Valley, NY area too! I wonder if we are neighbors! ;) I actually DO have a neighbor named Jenn!! MStar, I see the great advice you've gotten already and I'm not surprised with how great...

"I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." (Psalm 16:2) Iris, I'm glad you took off the whole weekend. It feels great, doesn't it!? Now you can start over today nice and refreshed. :) I'm happy to hear about your daughter's experience at church, I will...

"Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.""...

Hello runners! Thanks for the congrats on my run (jog ;)) everyone! :D Janis, I know what you mean about finding a safe place to run. I'm fortunate that the park I go to is only about 7 minutes from my house (I could probably jog there, HA!). I feel safe there because it's quite open and...

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30) Cathy, what a nice picture of you...

Afreet, good for you! I couldn't agree more because what you are doing has worked for me too! For a year I was working out like crazy, mostly all high intensity, and trying to eat sensibly, but the scale wouldn't budge. It was about 10 lbs or so I put on after getting married. I think it was...

We did it!!!!!!!!!!! :D :) :D :) I had to fight the self defeating thoughts in the beginning and just kept one foot in front of the other. Once the podcast guy said "You just finished half the run!!" something inside me was like "I can do this!!!" and I had no worries from that moment...

Ahhhh! No one has been on the forums to encourage me?? :p I'm heading out in about 15 minutes to attempt my 20 min run! I went back and forth with the idea of bringing my dog (she's been running with me for every run up until today), and my husband convinced me that she'll be fine. Our vet...

Hey guys! I need help mentally preparing myself for tomorrow's 20 minute run!! :eek: I've been reading some posts on the C25K forums and most people there say that it's a mental block, but physically this program really prepares you for it and should be able to do it. I guess I will do...

“For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10) Sorry if I repeat scriptures here, there are some that are my favorite! :D Cathy, hooray on the ticker fix! What a good boy you have. :) Don't...

This is a great thread! I am laughing so hard reading everyone's posts! I definintely sing to my pets all the time but, like a previous poster mentioned, I'm mostly freestyle, LOL. I don't have too many specific songs I can remember. I have a dog and three cats, two boys & one girl. I...

“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) Jen, good for you for not letting your circumstances compromise your...

Hello runners! Todays workout was W5-D2! I ran two 8 minute intervals, with 5 minutes rest in between. This one really pushed me out of my mental comfort zone. I had gotten used to those 5 minute intervals. :) I got a little discouraged when halfway through my first 8 minute run the...

Hi Jen! My eye is feeling better, thanks for asking! It's not 100%, but I'd say about 80-90% better, so I am happy about that! The eye drops really seem to be working. Please keep it in prayer for me, thanks! Any time the Lord calls us to change it can be scarey, especially if we're not...

Quick post as I just realized I forgot to mention my workout for today, doh! Today I did Gym Styles Chest/Triceps (timesaver premix), followed by 20 minute Turbo Jam cardio workout & the standing part of Ab Jam. No running today! Janis, thanks for the link, I will have to check it out...

Hi everyone! Tricia, I hate when I don't get to run until a little later on in the day because of the heat! You're not kidding, it's definitely brutal!! What a cute story about your beagles! I had a beagle growing up, his name was Digger. :) I just love the way beagles bark! :p...
