    Ok...didn't get to do my Week 3 Day 1 yesterday. I hate when you are in traffic for an hour...then grocery store...then family wanting to chat...by the time I had time to myself...it was 8pm. So today is a 'ME' day. I'm tired today but I think it's because I am use to doing something every day or at least every other day.

    Tired but looking forward to sweating! :-)

    Finished Week 3 Day 1....go me! My calves were a little stiff at first. I need to stretch before and after a run. Next one is on Friday..then Sunday. I didn't exercise for two days and felt horrible.

    Good luck everyone!

    Congrats Mcope! Wow...8 min runs...I can't even imagine!

    I just finished Week 3. Week 4 starts tomorrow..grrr. If I don't feel like I'm running smooth enough, I may repeat Week 3.

    I had a day off today, so it was nice to run/walk during the morning hours.

    I need to stay motivated and focus! How many days does the Iphone app have you run...everyday or every other day? The program I am on is every other day.

    How many calories is everyone sticking to while exercising? It seems most are above the 1200 mark.

    Good luck everyone! Will let you know how Week 4 Day 1 goes.

    I gotta say anyone that is thinking about the runs that are coming, DON'T!

    I was and it was freaking me out thinking about upcoming runs that were longer or just long ones. Im in the middle of Week 7 right now. No more short interrupted runs with walks in between just long ones. This week its 25 min and I was really freaking out about it. If you have done the runs leading up to this you should be ok. They are hard but I am able to do it. The key once you hit this level is to pace yourself. It sounds easy to say it and I had lots of people tell me to pace myself but its different when your running it.

    I cant believe I'm 2 weeks from the end. So close!


    Don't stop keep going!!!

    Congrats Mcope! I have been lazy with the running but I have started riding my road bike again since the weather is getting easier to handle. I hope to ride 3 days a week and then alternate the walk/run between. I would like to do the Rocketchix triathlon in the Spring. Trying to talk some friends in joining me.

    Good luck this weekend!
