Hi one and all!! Please find below the original introduction to the original DFW running club.
Due to length we have had to start afresh but Fermi has agreed to post a link so the wealth of information that was avaialble for new comers and experienced runners alike doesn't get lost.
Please please, if you are new to running, don't be put off by technical jargon, We ALWAYS without exception welcome new comers and will give you all the support you need!!
And to the regulars, keep that help support and information coming guys! you're all stars.
At the request of several members here on the DFW board, I have pleasure in starting the Debt Free Wannabe Running Club!The idea being that we all have goals we wish to reach, some being financial, others being weight loss, getting fit etc.
So heres the place to get the motivation to do it!!:j
Firstly, Let us know what your goal is, Ie running a half marathon, being able to run for half hour without stopping, doing 30 sit ups etc then we can share progress reports, any training hints and tips and generally get a kick up the proverbial to get off the sofa and go do it!!!:rotfl:
(goodness knows i need a boot right now so could be accused of being slightly self indulgent with the thread!:T )
If there are enough people we could even do an evening or a sunday run.
We all know Gyms are/can be Mega expensive so here's the cheaper option and you'll get loads of support from us all.
So who's in?!:beer:
Have fun

AND IN THE SLIGHTLY ADULTERATED WORDS OF STRICTLY COME DANCING>>>
KEEEEEEP RUNNING!!!!:D

Was nice to get out..0 -

I started posting in the original thread last year, I was just running a mile at that point, being new to running. Then at the end of November, I had my eyes lasered and whilst I can now see, I couldn't do any sweat inducing exercise for 2 weeks! Then I had a nasty cold that turned into a chest infection...
Alas, I am fairly back to normal now, and have started training again.
Today I ran 1k, at a slower pace than usual and it took me 7 minutes.
Ooh and I used the new Nike plus that I got for xmas!0 -
bexter, the main thing is that you have started again! That 1k will soon be 2.....and before you know it, 5k or 10k........:T
Making a start is the hardest thing - now you have done that, the rest is eeeeeasy!!!!!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -

Good luck for tomorrow Rich & Becky! Fingers crossed the wind isn't force 10.
I missed all of the discussions about the old thread being closed down and a new one started up and tbh I don't really care where it is as long as people still use it to share running news and information.
Anyway, I thought I would thrill you with my tales of marathon training from this morning's session. We ran for 2h 20mins (1h10m out and 1h10m back). It was a beautiful sunny morning and I had expected heavy rain so the pleasant weather was a lovely surprise. I don't have a Garmin but my running partner does so when we got back she said we had run 14.95 miles (which is 15 in my book any day
) So I was very pleased, considering it is only week 2 of my proper training. (Running sort of fell by the wayside through December 
)
Unfortunately OH's calf is no better. Physio this morning was inconclusive but he has some stretching exercises to try out. It didn't help that we went to the park this afternoon and there was a Cross Country meet on. He is getting soooo frustrated with it.

hmm the people using the garmin. does it keep signal in the case if its on and do you put it in a plastic bag. I have one although I dont yet run long enough to warrant using it.
