    Sounds like everyone is doing a fantastic job with their training. Keep up the good work during the holidays!

    I'm planning on doing a 2.8 mile adventure race this spring/summer in central PA. I've done two 5Ks prior, but now I'm upping the ante and doing strength training another 5K training program to make sure I'm fit enough for it.

    I've decided for the strength portion to use the Spartain Virgin weightlifting training guide. I've been doing it for two weeks already and already feel toned, regardless of the Thanksgiving feast!:-D

    Jenny- so glad to hear your little girl is doing well! I always hear kids bounce back fast.

    I had a great run this morning. I finally hit 20 minutes- only took two months lol. I did two miles in 20:16!!!

    I'm back!

    Had a fabulous family holiday on the beach (Byron Bay is the most easterly point on the australian mainland)..... husband, 2 sons and 2 son's girlfriends..... lots of fun, laughs, walking on the beach, swimming, cocktails, ice cream, too much food....oh, well.

    I did manage to run every second day....one day I ran 2.5km along the beach in one go..... running for just 23 minutes straight.... it looked sooooo far on the beach.... I was amazed I did it.

    Other than that one big run I mostly did lots of 10 minute stretches..... so just ticking along.... and managed to keep the weight gain from getting out of control while still enjoying myself and not feeling like I was dieting.... I have only gained 800g over 10 days.... could have been a lot more if not for the running.

    I am going to get back to the gym tonight and see if i can manage 20 minutes and then start back at end of week 6.

    Hope you are all well and running..... and Jenny I hope your little girl is on the mend.

    I'm here. I've been sick and my kids have been sick. Today was the first day I've done any kind of workout in a while. Running is on the menu for nap time. We'll see if I can run as far as I could before I fell off the wagon. Let's hope so.

    I couldn't do it. I felt like I had rocks in my chest. Tomorrow is another day!

    I ran this morning at the gym.... a personal best for me.... 26 minutes running straight! I didn't manage to see how far I went because the treadmill stopped after 30 mins (I had walked for 6 minutes first) so I had to really quickly reset and keep running but I kept moving so didn't feel like I stopped.... so I am happy with that... especially since I hadn't run since last friday and I was really worried if I would even get to 10 minutes... seems I really AM capable of this even if my brain is taking a while to register.

    I will run again on friday and I think I will jump back into the C25k program again as I like the structure of it..... I was up to W6D3 so will pick up there.

    shakemybooty - sorry to hear you and your family haven't been well.... take it easy getting back into it... sounds like your lungs might be taking a while to heal.

    Okay ladies (and gentlemen) I made it to week 3 in the summer with c25k but quit bc i couldnt handle the heat. It was 90 degrees at 8pm! Anyhow..I finally got a treadmill and started day 1 again today. I have to say, the treadmill seems to be a bit harder but I have my mind set up to become a runner! I turn 30 in February and plan on running a 5K in March and in April for March for Babies as my goal. My son was born at 24 weeks 1lb 5oz and I want to raise money for the walk again this year in honor of him. I am hoping that this keeps me on track knowing that I have a goal set. I was hoping that you all might have some words of encouragement or advice for me through my trial ;) NICE TO MEET YOU GUYS!

    Lisa- I cannot even begin to tell you how jealous I am that you were at Byron Bay! What a beautiful place; I loved going there. Way to go on sticking with the running even on vacation. I'm sure it was tough spending extra time on the beach.
    Shake-Hope you're on the mend and back to it soon.
    New Lisa- Welcome! You have some great goals to work towards. My big advice is to keep at it, even if you have to repeat weeks. And go outside to run at least occasionally. It's totally different from the treadmill. Good luck!!
