    Hi I just came across this group! :)

    I am doing this along with Jillian Michaels body revolution. The weather is just starting to warm up. I will finish week 3 today. I was never a runner. I was a sprinter in middle school but have never been a distance runner. ever. My lungs and calves don't like it. But I turn 40 in July and it is a goal of mine to run a 5K this year!! :)

    Did W6R2 again tonight and completed it without to much trouble this time. Amazing how much your mind set can effect your success.

    I get this!!! I am soooo afraid to not finish a run, b/c I give up so easily and don't want any doubt to spread. Way to keep at it!!

    Sooo this should be obvious, but I SLAYED my run yesterday and I think it was because I ate most of my calories at lunchtime (I run in the afternoon). I tend to 'hoard' my calories for night, but will be switching things up at least on my training days!! Let's go Week 6!!

    Anybody still out there? Did my first 20 minute run outside Monday and was kind of meh about it. Not sure what that is about. I just realized pretty much EVERY time I run for C25K it's pushing me harder than ever before. Needed to recognize that earlier...

    Great job, keep running!
    ps. Are you eating enough carbs before your run?
    pps. Daily check-in topic is more active :)

    I should have said I emotionally felt meh about it. For me running is 50% lungs, 40% mental and 10% legs. I am starting to watch my macros a little closer. And thanks for the tip on daily check in!!
