I know I have found THE BEST group of people on the internet!!!!!!!!!

You are all just awesome!

I was also in tears this morning reading the posts about the

TB'athon! You all should be very proud of yourselves!

I don't know who it was that said you carry yourself differently

since starting TB, but my brother in law said that to me, that I

carry myself totally different since starting! I know I have but to

hear someone else notice it, makes you feel twice as good!!!!

I want to get a bag and gloves also. It looks like it would be so

much fun and good for the stress levels, too!!!!!!!! LOL

Amy!!!!! You go girl!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on your marathon!!!!!!!

Well, my run/walk this morning was good! I did find out I am not as

good as I would have liked to think I am though! I am lucky I can do

1/1, but that is what I am going to do until I work myself up. I have

to remember that I am just starting to run for the first time in my

life. I just do so good with the TB that I want to do good with

everything. OH well, such is life!!!!!!! The method of

running/walking definately makes a huge difference though!!!! Thank

you soooo much for the advice!!!!!!! I really do appreciate

it!!!!!!!!!

Have a gread day everyone!!!!

The run/walk thing will really help you as you continue to run! Like

you said..it's important to remember that you are just starting out

and that you are going to continue to see progress! Just don't try to

progress too quickly (either with speed or distance) in the

beginning...it's really easy to injure yourself! If you can only run

1 minute and then walk 1 minute....then just continue to do that for

now. As your body gets used to running and you start feeling like

you could run more....increase your running time to 2 minutes, etc.

Actually, I think that Jeff Galloway recommends starting off walking

with a one minute run if you are totally new to running...so that

might be something you could do. Like walk 3 minutes and run 1

minute, etc. Then, as you get better and want to run more..slowly

increase your running time to walk 3 minutes/run 2 minutes, etc until

finally you are able to run a couple minutes and then walk one

minute! Good luck! And keep us filled in on your progress

That's so great that your Brother-In-Law noticed your increased

confidence! It's always nice when others notice those types of

things
