JeepFleeb's 2008 group - FULL! (Page 5)

Trust the training, stick with it, listen to your body, and trust the training (again)!

Amen to thrust the training.  I first started with 30 seconds of running, and 4:30 walking.   I can attest to the fact that sticking with it and realizing that every day will not always be better, or the same as the last, but over time you'll be there.

Try not to let it get you down! My first year training I hooked up with different people in different sports--I had my swim buddies, my bike buddies, and my run buddies. Some of them even got together and made two teams--so I still had someone to do the race with--lots of someones, in fact. So, you never know what kind of opportunity this will open up! And, as Kelliesaid, you still have us...

kappie72 - 2008-01-17 1:34 PM Crap. I think I was a little too overzealous in my walk/run training today. I have one bad knee due to some clumsiness when I was in 7th grade. Seriously, I just fell and cracked my kneecap. I wish the story were better I know that part of the problem is my weight, but I'm working on that. In the meantime, how much will the right running shoes help my knee problem? I'm going to brave the single degree temps on Saturday to get out and get some.

Yeah the right shoes are a necessity if your going to try and run more Make sure you go somewhere where the people know what they are talking about and hopefully they can help you get into a good pair for you!

Yep I went and got fitted for shoes by a guy who worked at Fleet Feet. Also if you have the money and really want to get something very specific you can look at orthodics. Best wishes and keep it up!!

When I first started it was just me and after being on BT I met Chris(trigods) and we have become great friends and usually do lots of races together. it really made my first year a blast even though I was always BOP it was great sharing with a fellow BTer and friend.

I had a pretty good week--

starting to develop some new routines with a new job-- specifically getting a workout in at lunch. So far, so good.  And I'm glad everybody is feeling better!

I got the results of my fitness assessment from the trainer at work last week.  I was asked to post the results-- but it would make a pretty long post so I put them in my log here  http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/training/index-weekly.asp?memberid=31789&year=&month=&day=

on friday the 18th.  Hopefully that link will work... still learning. Have a good week everyone!

Good week, bike is feeling a lot better.  Today was 2nd day in pool and am feeling more comfortable.  No pain in knees but wiilwait one more week before running. 

Aaron was wondering if you could reccomend a good running store in Ft. Worth.
