You can follow the directions on the website, but I downloaded an iPhone app that I use to track my progress and that tells me when it's time to switch from running to walking to cooldown, etc. It works while I have my headphones in and am running to my iPod. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-87158 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:56:09 +0000 susan 87158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura-C25K is a running program that gradually prepares you for a 5 K. Lots of my friends have been doing it so I wanted to see if I could. You start out slowly-running 90 seconds and walking I think and gradually work up to running 30 minutes. I can't run 5 K in 30 minutes, but I did my run this morning! I was one of a gaggle of girls who in high school would hide behind the trees at the far end of the track when we were supposed to run the mile, so this morning I went to that high school track and did my 30 minutes! See there, 17 year old self! I highly recommend it as a challenge and it is fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-87084 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:42:13 +0000 Laura 87084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait, what is the C25K? Someone, please, clue me in! I am completely in the dark on this one ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-87059 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 10:55:12 +0000 Kristen 87059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, now I want to go back on vacation again RIGHT NOW! LOL. You guys are too sweet. Good thing we booked our trip next year already; I can't wait!</p> <p>Susan, congrats for completing the C25K! Woohoo! I just did week 6 day 2 yesterday -- 10 minutes run, 3 mins walk, 10 mins run. It was brutal. But I did it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-87023 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 03:20:21 +0000 marianne 87023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to have you back, Kristen! Your vacation sounds wonderful, and I love your pictures... and your writing... and your LBD outfit in particular! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-87016 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 02:19:02 +0000 bella 87016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked your recap and I looked at your vacay pictures, as well. What a fun trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-87014 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 02:01:24 +0000 susan 87014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen-I really enjoyed the entry about your trip. Sounds like a lot of fun! Graceland is such a hoot! Congrats on running those hills-couldn't have been easy. I am ready to start Week 9 tomorrow morning and am amazed that I will be able to do it. The program is really good if it could turn ME into a runner! Are you still doing weight watchers or were you using a different program? maybe I'm confused! Good luck losing those extra pounds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-87012 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 01:47:57 +0000 JewelryGirl 87012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, I LOVE the boyfriend jeans on you - AWESOME!! I prefer no whiskering on the jeans as well &#38; agree with you on the tops. Sounds like you had a SUPER vacation - that is so refreshing to hear. The old fashioned one's are always the best!! I also LOVE it when you can work out on vacation &#38; push yourself - Good for you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-86935 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 18:56:00 +0000 Kristen 86935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, thanks everyone! I will admit I'm feeling big these days so I am almost wearing these dresses as a cheat; none of my pants are looking all that great in comparison. But really, I love my dresses. I can't believe it's taken me so long to try them as a wardrobe option!</p> <p>Laura, I love your description of "old fashioned" for my vacation; truly, that's how it felt. Like a real vacation that I used to take with my family when I was a kid. Plus, there was no internet or computer; every couple of days I got a faint signal on my iphone, but that was it. DH and I are in IS and we're huge computer nerds, so this was a complete reversal of our regular life. Heavenly!</p> <p>Sarah, I am in love with the C25K program; I did it this winter but my shoes were terrible and my knee started to hurt so I bailed. Now I am back and have no troubles at all, and it's fabulous. I'm going to be so sad when it's over and I am ready to just plain old run! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-86921 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 18:10:24 +0000 medusa 86921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, welcome back! Even when you say you feel "blah", you still look great. I thought all your outfits were fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-86877 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:30:53 +0000 marianna 86877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back to Chicago rain! ;)</p> <p>I really like the boyfriend jeans on you! And you look fab in all your dresses, as usual! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-86876 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:28:16 +0000 Sarah 86876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! I agree with rute, your legs are fabulous! And you and hubby looked fantastic on your trip. Your blog is so fun to read, very inspiring!<br /> PS: RE: C25K - that's how I started running. Great program and great job on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-86874 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:23:42 +0000 Laura 86874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great, old-fashioned summer vacation.

I'm glad you had such a good trip. You and hubby look so cute all spiffed up and out on the town. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-86863 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:01:00 +0000 mummy2thea 86863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yeah they seem to block quite a few sites in the UAE I think its to protect against "inappropriate" pictures etc. They are a bir funny like that lol!<br /> I saw your jeans thread so I caught all your outfits then. Looking good lady!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-86860 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:56:03 +0000 Kristen 86860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks, Mummy2Thea! Actually, the Sat/Sun outfits are also in my jeans thread so you can catch them there too. They're directly in the blog post so you should be able to see them. (How strange that you can't!)</p> <p>Alecia, that's a very warm welcome, thank you! I lurked for a bit this week on the site while I got my bearings back in my real life, but I was missing everyone here a lot! I haven't seen Angie comment much on boyfriend jeans yet, I don't think, but you should definitely ask the group! San is especially good at finding links to particular blog posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-86850 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:41:57 +0000 Alecia 86850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, I'm glad you're back and had a great vacation. I've been missing you. That new dress you got from a blogger is great. The boyfriend jeans are looking good, too. I'm confused about boyfriend jeans. I should start another post with my questions, unless someone can post a link to where Angie gave some guidance on making them work. I can't find it them. :-s </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-86848 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:39:23 +0000 mummy2thea 86848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kirsten I got as far as Friday as the flickr pics still don't work for me. Well I never knew it was possible to look so good on a hiking holiday, what an inspiration! I love the dress and leggings outfit as well, very cute.<br /> Your back to work week looked great, very smartly turned out as usual. Glad you had a nice holiday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-back-from-tennessee-and-back-to-dresses#post-86844 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:29:28 +0000 Kristen 86844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After a fabulous, FABULOUS vacation in the woods of Tennessee, I came back to work and jumped right back into my beloved dresses. (The heels were a bit of a shock to the system after a week of hiking boots and aqua socks. LOL)</p> <p>Here's a brief recap of some of my gear outfits in TN, and our one day-trip to Memphis where I got all cleaned up. :)<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2009/08/vacation-recap.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....recap.html</a></p> <p>Wednesday. I felt so blah. Not ready to be back to work, all womanly and bloated and just BLAH. But Hubby was so adorable, he even joined in for a birthday photo!<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2009/08/wednesday-blah.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....-blah.html</a></p> <p>Thursday: I wear dresses day and night. The shopping dress was an online purchase from a blogger; love it!<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2009/08/thursday-two-for-one-dress-day.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....s-day.html</a></p> <p>Friday: I added a scarf to my super-versatile LBD. Why didn't I think of doing that before? Silly Kristen.<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2009/08/friday-lbd-saves-day.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....s-day.html</a></p> <p>Saturday night: the new boyfriend jeans come out to play! Went to a girlfriend's house to watch baseball movies and eat Cracker Jack and hamburgers. So much fun, and my outfit had that same spirit of fun, I thought.<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3827505420/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....827505420/</a></p> <p>Sunday, busted out the bf jeans again, this time with a casual tee:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3827506514/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....827506514/</a></p> <p>Actually, that outfit didn't stay on long; it was rainy and weird out, so I switched to a new navy blue sleeveless tee under my purple bf cardigan. Much more comfy, but I forgot to get a photo! Alas. </p>
