W3D3 - 2.09 miles in 31:28 minutes - I actually ran the 2nd and 4th fast portion today. It almost killed me, but I did it! I am so impressed with myself.

Friday, W2D3


Thought for the day:

Don't run after a day with lots of wine
It's difficult to run with someone...hard to get in the zone

Wk4D3 completed. 2.33 miles in 32 mins. Had some knee pain so I slowed my pace a bit on the last run but pushed on through. Actually excited (did I say that???) about wk5 runs :-).

Keep up the good work!

I am doing W5D3 tomorrow and I am dreading it--- 20 min straight. I BARELY made it through W5D2! :laugh:

Okay, everyone. I have internet back again so I can actually log and talk to you all. I've so not been doing well with this. I've had a lot of personal issues going on. But I am getting better and I feel a lot better about myself. I said that I was going to start working out again today, but that was before yesterday. Yesterday was a great day for me. I feel better about a lot of things and found someone to talk to. I wasn't going to go to a wedding that's today, but decided to after me and the girl get along better now. Tomorrow I have something else going on with the personal issues, and that'll take a while. So starting on Monday, I'm going to get back to working out and eating better and logging.

You all are doing great! Keep up the awesome work!

So - screwed up my foot again somehow. Now it hurts to put pressure on it again... Which sucks because i was starting to really enjoy my little runs. Exercising outside was really pleasnt, I had always been a strictly indoor exerciser before.
Looks like its a trip to the doc to see what i did - hopefully i'll be able to get back on the wagon. But i doubt i'll be right away.:frown:

Hey everyone!

I had a quick question. This past week I only did W3D1 on Monday and haven't worked out since. I wasn't having a great week with school, work, and TOM coming along. So tomorrow I'm getting back on the wagon. But I'm not sure if I should just start with W3D1 again or redo W2. I'm thinking I'll just start W3 tomorrow (it'll probably be hard since I took 6 days off). Let me know what you guys think.

MizzDoc

I would pick up where you left off. If you find its to much, just start week 3 over the next time you run.

Same happened to me, Katheryne. Had a 5 day miss due to my work schedule after W2 D1. Got back on track yesterday by picking up where I left off. Didn't think I could do it, but I did! My vote is to start where you left off. You can always kick down the pace if necessary. Good luck!

I'm off to start Week 3...wish me luck...Kim

********************ATTENTION:
This week's topic will be fashion, for lack of a better word. What do you wear when you exercise? The brands, what you find most comfortable, etc.

I'm going to get back on the wagon today. I have two workouts planned for this evening, and I'm glad to get back to logging my food and exercise and being healthy again.

Just finished Week 5 Day 3. All I can say is.... THANK GOODNESS! LOL, off to rest and recover.

Monday, W3D1

Thoughts of the day:

1) I DID IT!!!
2) A pebble in the shoe $uck$
3) I wish I didn't have a border collie that likes to chase cars
4) Writing the times on the hand helps to stay on track


FASHION:

I grab whatever's on the floor that doesn't smell :sick: ; however, I do like bright colorful tops. I don't like my thighs to rub together :noway: , so it's usually capri/yoga pants. I shoes with cushion and arch support. I always wear an HRM.

Good for you. Way to stick with it!!!

I see lots of people who just can't find the time to get in their workouts. I feel like if you can't make 30 minutes 3 times a week; then, you should re-evaluate some things. Exercise is important. I've been known to be at my kids' games walking the park instead of in a chair watching. You HAVE to take care of yourself as well. Selfish, I know. :grumble: :ohwell:

Just got back from the gym and finished W2D3! Yay me! Or it could have been D4. Hmmm. On my first jog I decided to just jog until I couldnt anymore and I jogged 2m45s. Holy cow I am awesome! (big step for me) I hope everyone is doing well! Have a great week!

penash

I've been out of commission for the last few days. I had a wisdom tooth that started giving me a lot of trouble towards the end of last week. It's amazing how bad you can feel when something goes wrong with your teeth! I just couldnt' bring myself to go running when I was already in so much pain. Anyway, I plan to get back on the treadmill this evening and get back on track with my running program.

As for fashion...I'm a big fan of Target (or Tar-jhay!). So pretty much everything I work out in comes from there. I prefer capris or full-length pants to shorts (my thighs always try to do battle in shorts, leading to chafing). I love my Asics running shoes, mesh topped (allows my feet to breathe), size 8 medium...so comfy.

I have been so lazy lately!!! I have been eating horribly too!! I always feel so much better after I workout, but getting out and doing it seems to be a lot harder these days. Here I go for W1D3.

Aww... thank you Kim. I have fully recovered :bigsmile:

Just finished W1D3...not as bad as I was expecting, I think I am ready for W2.

MizzDoc I am afraid to ask, but how long is W5D3 of running?

tncmom

I did W4D1 today - not very well. I am just not a runner, I have decided. But I did 2.17 miles in 32 minutes.

Sure know I feel the same way!
W3D1, walking 3.5 and running 5.0, except the last 20sec of the last run at 4.0. My knee is on the mend. Keep up the good work everyone! As for fashion................this morning I put on sneakers and a sports bra w/ my pj bottoms grabbed a water and headed to the treadmill. Not so fashionable, I did match though! LOL!!!!!!!!!! :0

Yes we all do. I just did W4D1 as well. It was a struggle, esp the second half but we did it! The week will get easier as you go!

Monday, W3D1
Tuesday, Rest day from C25K, 60 minutes Zumba later today
Wednesday, W3D2

Work an 8 hour day in the nursing field tomorrow, hope that I can get it done before the ballgame...shesh :ohwell:

@1crazymom...we must both be crazy moms...just get 'er done with or without style :bigsmile:

@MizzDoc: you really shouldn't ask questions you don't REALLY want to know the answer to W2 D3 coming up for me. Last one really winded me and had to kick it down to a 5.8 mph jog with 3.3 mph walks...amazing what 0.2 mph can do for the soul, not to mention one's body

I'm so pleased. Wk3 day 1 today and I did it! I was surprised to find that I was less tired at the end of the last run section then in week 2. I MUST remember this when I dread day 1 of week 4.
