    Just done with Wk 1 Day 3...tried to push it and do a really slow jog instead of walking :) Dripping sweat by the time I was done but feels good!
    That's a good feeling! Good job on getting another day completed. By the way, you're profile pic is so adorable. :)

    Have decided I prefer walking to running (I can do it faster and for way longer) - so have changed to doing the iMapMyWalk app on my iPhone. Where I have normally been doing about 3 km (1.7mi) in 31 minutes today I did 4.5km in 50 mins instead. Felt heaps better after it and am well and truly looking forward to the day off tomorrow :drinker:

    Next Monday I am changing the route I take and going to do a 5km walk, wonder how long that will take - it is less hilly than what I have been doing so hopefully less :bigsmile:

    Good job on figuring out what's best for you. It sounds like you're doing great with the walking. Great job!

    ahh...very frustrated...I was doing so well (today I did W2D2) but on Tuesday I was stacking hay bales and I think I gave myself tendonitis from the repeated stretching of the hip muscle on my left side...so so far week 2 has been torture..I think I am going to try taking a week off and see if that helps but that means I should probably re-do a few workouts.. :( I really wanted to stay on schedule and complete it on time so I am kinda bummed out.. I know it doesnt matter and I can take my time but I was just so encouraged by the fact that I was being consistant with it.. :(

    Aw, I'm sorry, darling. That's just not fun at all. On the bright side, maybe your hip will start feeling better. But make sure that you're okay first; you wouldn't want to risk further injury. You've already finished 4 workouts, so you know that you can be consistent with it. I hope you get to feeling better soon. Try putting a heating pad on your hip and maybe that'll help too.

    Awesome! It'd be really fun to do a 5K, but I don't think there's any in my area.

    Just did W1D2 on the treadmill because it is freakishly hot outside :grumble: But it wasn't bad (not a huge fan of treadmills I'm always scared I am going to fly off :laugh: ) I did 3 mph for the walking and 5 for the running with 2 for the warm up and cool down. Great job everyone!

    D3W1 way so much better than D2 and wasn't dying after finishing so that's an improvement from 2 days ago. I'm so happy I stuck with it. I know W2D1 will be harder but I'm not to think about that.

    Congrats to everyone who finish their first week! :laugh:

    Sounds like you did great! Yeah, there's a wall behind my treadmill. I don't like going too fast because I'm afraid I'll hit the wall lol.
