I'm in the last quarter of the book and hoping for a good ending.  This book is as much detective novel as it is sci fi,  I've never been a fan of the detective novel that just pieces and pieces and nothing makes sense and everything is a dead end, then WHAM! At the end it all comes together.  I...

Ok, so maybe world wide Durant (#6) and Kobe (#11) are more popular than Steph Curry (#34), but Carmelo (#29) / Derrick Rose (#30) / Dwayne Wade (#33)  ahead of him?  I don't think so.    I have no way to judge whether a cricket star or rugby player is as popular as an NBA star but there is no...

We are warming up.  The C25 plan has you walking 5min before and after your walk/jog intervals. I'll have to google dynamic stretching and read a bit more about it. We do have good shoes.  They feel great BTW, no blisters or foot issues.  I actually want to wear these things all day but I'm...

So my wife and I had our 4th run this morning, basically we're doing C25k.  Last week we started walking/light jogging a couple days just to see how it felt and how shoes fit and I had a run on my own at first.  So today was officially C25 day 2 for us. I think we're doing pretty good, we both...

Wow, I'm new to all of this but that race report is heartbreaking. You have another fan rooting for you @SteveC702.  Nothing is more inspiring than seeing someone give it everything they have going after their dream.  

Later Tonight.... FOX NEWS ALERT Government Bureaucracy kills Majestic Gorilla!   Democratic Inefficiency and Over-Regulation almost lead to child's death.   Wouldn't privatization have saved Harambe?   Trump says "What did I tell you, we're going to build a bigger wall and it's going to be...

I was at a big BBQ yesterday.  When we add together all of the burgers, dogs, and drumsticks everyone ate yesterday it must add up to a few chickens, a couple pigs, and a good portion of a cow.  It was tasty.   I think we kill like 100k cows, 300k pigs, and almost 25 MILLION chickens a day to...

I did. It seemed like the universe was working against me today but I got out there this evening.   Posted about it here...  https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/topic/724983-ran-a-10k-its-ottawa-week-stevec/?do=findComment&comment=19122019

So the plan was to start running this morning.  Had my clothes/shoes set out, downloaded my apps, went to bed early.  I had everything ready.   My daughter stumbles into our room crying around 2am covered in puke. Not a fun cleanup, some hit the floor but most hit the walls on the way from her...

Oh, and I was reading through this thread a bit on Friday but it's so big.  Going to take a while.   :)

Hey guys.  I started a thread about starting out a couch to 5k and a bunch of runners suggested I come post over here. I'm north of 300lb, 6'2" and my wife and I starting the day after tomorrow. The plan is to take it slow.  Do each week and if I can't do it without feeling like I'm dying I'll...

My wife and I both got Bondi's.  I was going to get wide but they were just a little too big.  It's funny, I never realized how much bigger my right foot was than my left foot.  Right foot is a little snug but I think they'll stretch a little and I'll probably drop some weight right off the bat...

That's how I'm picturing myself, except the image of falling down the stairs just sounds a little too fast to compare to what I'll be doing  :D

Very encouraging.  A lot of this is motivated by my kids/my family.  Hoping for a similar success story.

Thanks!  I'll definitely check out the 10k thread and post in there.
