Keyword Winner is a powerful tool that will revolutionise business marketing and get to 1st page for any headlines that have low competing searches and high search trends. Used to its full potential, this plugin will revolutionize your online business and help you to reap huge financial rewards. Just create a post like you normally would but when you type in your headline, the software will give you suggestions for search terms that could be better for your rankings.

While I was away at school, I attempted the Couch to 5k. This was in an area of Pennsylvania where everything was uphill. Not only was I unable to finish the first day, I got lost trying to walk my pathetic butt home…at night. I did not go out again after that.

You’ve inspired me to give it another go. Thankfully I reside in a flatter, well lit area.

I just read this because I am living 3 weeks in the past. (Please blog the PowerBall numbers for me and I will cut you in on the winnings.) Yay for running! And yes, OMG, it sucks and hurts and is painful. But then whee! You ran and you get to tell people about it. And I would totally stop my training regimen for a week in Vegas. Or better yet, you have the 5K in Vegas and go eat waffles afterwards. We should organize this race! The Golden Vegas Waffle 5K!

I did the couch to 5k and LOVED it and actually ran in a couple of real, live 5k races with, you know, other people and stuff. FUN! Then I pushed forward with another training program and ran a FRIGGIN’ HALF MARATHON, which was incredible, in an OMG WTF kind of way, not in a WHEE FUN kind of way. But I’m proud that I did it and I’m going to shoot for another one in October.

I had a hard time, though, transitioning from the treadmill to the great outdoors. Because on the treadmill? I can be a quitter whenever I want and so what. But outside? If I have run two miles away from home? And decide to be a quitter? Tough shit, it’s a two mile walk to get home.

So stick to the outside running, it’s a great motivator! And congrats on getting back on the exercise bandwagon!

Woooo! :)

I don’t want to rain on your parade, but be aware (and ready) for days when you’re going to feel like utter crap. Like someone made your legs dance the tarantella all night while you slept so they’re already spent and stuffed your lungs full of something that prevents normal oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange.

On those days, just cut your pace a bit and roll with it (don’t panic and convince yourself you’re going to die because that’s just going to make it worse), and besides you’ll feel normal again in a few more days.

Oh, and I read a couple times that a glass of lowfat chocolate milk is supposed to be awesome for your muscle recovery 15 minutes after you exercise.

I am ashamed to admit I quit the Couch to 5K at about Week 7. I had been toodling along nicely, feeling smug and self-satisfied, and all of a sudden it felt too hard, so I took a week off, and then two weeks, and now it has been several months. Le sigh.

Andrea you are totally in trouble, because I have just gotten back from my run this morning. It’s on! Shit’s just gotten real! Woo! It was hard, too. But mostly awesome. I ended up starting back at Week 1, and I’m glad I did. Go go go!

Sal, I love biking, too! You have reminded me that I have a bike! I should get my butt back on that thing.

Awesomeness. I feel this way about biking. It’s the only exercise I really, truly enjoy … and miss when I can’t do it.

Good for you! I started the C25K as well, and funnily enough, also got temporarily derailed due to a trip to Vegas. But I’ve been avoiding restarting, scared of how much backsliding I might have done, even though I miss it too. I’ll start again if you will!
