Introduce yourself. by: jacy - Jan 6 2009, 3:30PM LEDeYoung It's a pleasure to talk about running to you, It's my favorite subject. I can say that to arrive at any place you need to start with a step. Begin slowly and increase the distance only when you think you are able to. Be patient and follow a schedule without  failling. But remember that something that is easy for me could be different to you. I advice you to trainning, and trainning, and trainning, and the goal will come. Don't forget to be patient. Jacy

Introduce yourself. by: LEDeYoung - Jan 4 2009, 5:25PM Hello English hopeful, That is wonderful news on your weight lost.  How did you do it?  When I first started really working out I was at 210lbs - currently am at 172 still a long way for my goal of 140lbs.  First thing is take the word out diet out of your mind - it was the biggest mistake I did.  Just watch what you eat I have fish at least 3 times a week not skipping meals.  Do you enjoy cycling? 10k run is a great goal for May - take one step at a time.   Do hope you keep posting. Lydia

Introduce yourself. by: LEDeYoung - Jan 4 2009, 5:19PM Jacquie, Same here glad to hear from you.  Yes we will keep in touch hoping to make a visit to New York this summer maybe we can finally meet.  I do have plans on doing several Tri Event work myself to Soma which is the 1/2 Ironman - if I feel am not ready this year I will do the 1/4 during the Soma Event. My swimming is getting so much better.  Today I did 1000 meter swim which took me 30 mins.  Remember when I first started to post how I couldn't even do 300 meters in 30 mins.  Also did 1 hour spin class today - it was a great day for working out. I am so glad we keep in touch via posting you keep me going.  Lydia
