Challenge Time!
Well you already know I'm in. Just gotta figure out why my pelvic region and back get all whacked out from jogging. Last time I did a jog (and I did manage 5k!) I threw my back out. I didn't feel like I was pushing my body too hard (in fact I was surprised at how "not insurmountable" the whole thing was) so I'm not sure what's up with that. But I want to be careful not to hurt myself!
Stretching...yes.
WTF is an IT band?
I know I need running shoes so that's probably a good first step. My pelvic region I think it's just how my weight settled as it gets wonky after I weight lift too. My back? No idea. First time I threw it out post-op!

IT Bands are them nice muscley thingies down the outside of your thighs. Running tends to make them tight and they get irritated easily if not stretched. IT Bands totally suck because it will hurt anywhere in your thigh area knee to hip.
Shoes would be a first good step as if you aren't in the right shoes for your arches and stride you will just make your body mad.

I am in! I won't have had my surgery by the time of the May 5k here in town but surgery will be right around e corner. My 9 year old got in the car and said mom I ran 2 miles straight in PE today I said good you can run the 5k with me. I did a half marathon before so the5k should be fun!

Count me in!! I'm currently at W2 D3 of C25K. I really need to work on getting my cardio in since I just started spin class last night! I also suggested to my local Y that they have a class for those who want to run their first 5k. They're not starting the class until April so I'll already have a head start!
I need all the support and motivation I can get!
