    Squeezed in an extra run this weekend, so I'm back on track and going to do w6d1 tonight. The 20-min run wasn't SOOO bad...kinda wanted to die a little at the end, but felt REALLY good about myself, so I guess it's all worth it! :)

    Thanks for the encouragement guys!

    I made it out for a jog last night. I wouldn't quite say I'm back on track now but I at least have a plan to get back on track, which is a start. I had been struggling in my second week of doing week 3, so after a week of doing nothing I thought I should start back up with a week 2 session. It was a piece of cake! Actually, it was better than a piece of cake cuz cake doesn't make me feel good about myself or my accomplishments :tongue: Back to week 3 tonight.

    Ran w7d1 this morning. Still hate running in the mornings, but sometimes it's a necessary evil. It's getting cold out there at 5:30am too, so hopefully that'll be more motivation to run at 7pm instead. Last night, though, I was still digesting a large angus burger from my boyfriend's parents' delicious labor day dinner. :)

    W7D2 done, and I ran farther this time too! :) Yay evening runs! I realized as I crossed off that run on my fridge that I only have 7 more!

    Welcome Lainey! This is a wonderful program! Just stick with it and don't get discouraged! You'll always have bad runs and good runs, and days where you have to force your lazy butt into some workout clothes then out the door! (Actually, those tend to be the best runs, because you didn't want to go in the first place, so you feel all the better that you're running) It's SO worth it!

    W8D1 this morning. Pushed myself, ran about 2-1/3 miles at 12mm even. Pretty proud of myself. :)

    Only 5 more!
