Steve and I ran our B210K Run #2 last night and we had great company!! Our daughter Allison joined in and ran her first run of week 1 C25K!!!! I am so very happy to have her join in! I guess watching her OLD parents huff and puff was enough to encourage her to do the program while she is still young and fit! Allie is 14 years old and a great kid, not sure if she will join us here in the Community...we will see.

I had a new experience last night operating a treadmill! It reinforced in my mind to KNOW I prefer outdoor running! We joined a gym this week because of the Winter weather and after putting it off a few days, last night was the night to go for it even if I was full of dread.

I imagined in my mind I woulds look like a leaping gazelle on that motorized thingie...instead I'm sure I looked like a baby giraffe on slippery ice...all limbs flying different directions at once! I'm a cautious person, so I was the only one in the gym clipping the safety clip to me...I found out when your running and your arm comes down and hits the strap...the treadmill instantly STOPS! The actual run went well. Looking forward to run 3 then onto Week 2!!!!

Hoping all of you are having a great weekend!!!!

Well done. How great to have another member of the family join you well done Allie keep going and I'm sure your mum and dad will soon be trying to keep up with you! I have always liked the idea of running on a treadmill but having done it during my gait analysis don't think I would be any good. Am praying the forecast snow does arrive partly cos I hate driving in it but mainly as I would have to stop running. Good luck with your next run and roll on summer

Woo-hoo! That's excellent! I love the idea that you can all run together. My runs are all solo, and I would love to have some company. Glad this is working out well for everyone!

That's so nice, Gayle - well done to Allie for joining you! Re treadmills - I take my hat off to you, 'cos they make me feel dizzy and I have to hang on to the handles *g*. As Rolphie says, roll on summer, or at least spring so you can get back out there

I ask, what is better than me running with one beautiful lady??? That's right now I have two wonderful ladies to run with!!!! I am so blessed and lucky!!!

My dear, your imporession of a giraffe on ice was a far better introduction to treadmilling than my "near death experience!!!!" I would definitely call your run a success!!! Spring can not come soon enough!!! "Down with treadmills!" has become my new battle cry!!

I love you!!!!
