running watch 405 image
Yeahh
Not going to lie here, I am a bit overweight.
But I want to start running.
I have been running/jogging some, but ive noticed that after a few days my legs feel tired and it gets harder.
Is there any way to minimize this?
Answer
I am a big proponent of the couch to 5 K running program (C25K). It's a walk to run program and its one of the best.
The C25K program slowly increases your effort over 9 weeks. I did it and I really liked the fact that I could see each week I was making progress and I never really felt like it was too hard.
You will have to get a sports watch that can be programmed to do intervals. I really like Timex watches, the trainer line is pretty good. and some of them have Heart Rate monitors which is a nice way of monitoring your effort. Casio makes a interval timer that's simple and inexpensive - W756-1A - you can find it at amazon for $20. Or buy a Gymboss for $20. all it does is do intervals but its real simple to use and program.
If you have an iPod, you can download a podcast that is the couch to 5 K program and you won't even need a watch. And if you have an iPod touch or iPhone, you can download the interval timer app for $2. It is super easy to use. and is pre-programmed.
If you're really thinking of getting a Heart rate monitor, and you don't have an iPhone, then take a bigger plunge and get a GPS Heart rate monitor watch. They have the interval timers built in, and you can monitor both your distance and your effort. I like the Garnin 405.
Once you graduate from the C25K program they have other programs that are more advanced. I still do intervals once in a while. A lot of runners do them once a week. So you can plan on using your timer for a long time.

What child day care in the antelope valley area recommend?
Denyse**
I'm planning on going back to finish school. My fiancé works night shifts and gets home around 9am and sleeps the whole day until 9pm with his work schedule and needing rest he won't be able to watch our kids. I have a two year old and a 5 month old. I was wondering since this is my first time what day care do you recommend in experience? This is the first time ill leave my babies in a strangers care. I just want to make sure they're not with a psycho or being mistreated. Being fed and attended to properly. Can anyone help please. Again I'm in Palmdale California, antelope valley area. Thank you

I know some guy through a mutual friend who runs a daycare in the LA area. If you are interested, he normally parks his van off the 405. Its not hard to miss he normally parks by the I-10 intersection. He drives a white dodge van, and hangs a "free candy" sign on the side of his van. Again, I don't know him that well, but mt friend says he legit. Hope this helped.
