Good morning sober runners. I unlocked a new accomplishment today thanks to my garmin training plan. I ran for 30min non stop. NO WALKING. It was tough to run at a slower pace but it helped me go longer and not burn out. So proud of myself. Not bad for barely getting out of bed in time this morning
And i earned a badge ive been working on

Went to the doc and found out my hip issue is probably iliopsoas tendinopathy. Glad it’s not arthritis. Got some proper strength training exercises to do now.

Maybe you should see about a massage after your race? I’m super lucky and finally found a good masseuse that I can go to. She use to be a PT and knows her way around. She pretty much just focuses on my legs since my back is so sensitive.
You can do the race! Mind over matter. A nice epsom salt bath after and some ice hot is my go to for sore/hurting legs.

5k sunday
You can see the hike in my pace when I encountered some drunk people and the man was rattling off some weird stuff. That threw my whole run off. I was trying to recover from going out to fast. I got it done though Next sunday I have my wig run with my running friend. Pretty excited for that. I think it will be fun!

Pretty solid stuff this morning. It’s like once I take a walk break I can’t get back in the groove but that’s why I keep working. I use to not even be able to run 1 mile much less 3 in a row. I’m going get my a 10k PR. I know I can!

I really want to start running.
This may sound foolish, but I don’t know where to start.
I’m overweight, and have already had 2 mini-strokes and a heart attack at 36. So, I don’t want to be foolhardy in the beginning.
Any suggestions on where and how I should start training?

Hey @ICanAndWill this thread inspired me to start running. I like the old adage you need to walk before you can run 
increase movement, get shoes that fit to avoid blisters
Then i started with a couch25k running plan.

Good run yesterday am. Not sure how ive elevated to a full 10min run before my run stage with garmin but here we are…it was tough but im proud of my performance

I agree with @Cjp
Walking would be a great place to start. Considering your heart issues, you should look into the Jeff Galloway method. It’s a walk/run interval system. You will want to keep your heart rate low when you start out.

Thanks for the suggestions!!!
I’ve been increasing my walking little by little. In fact, I’m on my way home from a 3? Mile walk. 
I will look into the Couch25K, and let y’all know how I do each week.
