    Completed W1D2 yesterday; wayyyy easier than W1D1, but I did a few things differently than I did on Monday.

    I made sure I drank a lot more water (Monday I only drank one cup, BAD; yesterday I had five cups of water throughout the day before I ran), made sure my back stayed straight when I ran (I tend to curve my shoulders in), and used a controlled breathing method (long breaths in through the nose, out through the mouth) while on Monday I was basically doing the ragged breath thing the whole time. I'm actually looking forward to doing it again Saturday. :ohwell:

    Great job!!

    I am almost 100% sure if I could get the stupid breathing thing down I would do sooo much better but for some reason I have THE HARDEST!!! time breathing in through my nose!!!

    Running is a mental game. You have to tell yourself you are excited about it. You can do this!

    Hey all. I actually restarted c25k this past monday. I've completed it once and went on to b210k only to realize that I need to work on my form a lot before I increase my mileage like that. So I'm redoing c25k by SLOWLY jogging the walks and doing the actual runs with more speed and better form. So happy to be a part. Good luck to everyone!

    Finished W1D2. Kinda thought I was going to die towards the end, but felt really good that I got through it. Turns out I covered more distance too, so yay for progress! Good luck finishing the week everyone!

    I just found this site and how ironic I just started The C25K today.. I managed 1.92 miles in 30 minutes. C25K is an awesome program I did it last year and made it to week 6 then stopped. So I'm at it again and happy to have found this site.

    Just finished W1D2.... I thought it was harder too.... my legs felt like lead weights.... soooo heavy.... but i did it.

    Unfortunately i didn't have my glasses on and I pressed a wrong button on the iphone app and it looked like I didn't do it!!!.... I think I've got it back on track but it doesn't show how far I went or any details.

    Felling a bit sore.

    :bigsmile: Its a couple of hours after I posted that I did my W1D2 this morning..... and now I feel fantastic!!

    I feel like I could go out and do it again..... I won't as my legs are quite sore.... but I might go for another walk this afternoon.

    Still can't imagine running for any longer yet.... but I am enjoying it!

    Tonite was W1D2 for me and it was tough going. I started strong but by the second jog session my calves started to burn. 3rd and 4th jog sessions I ended up switching back to walking just over halfway through. The last part I got a second wind and a couple of my favorite songs and I ran the entire way. I even did an extra min or so of running during the 5 min cooldown. I still had 10 min to walk the rest of the way home so it didnt matter, I wanted to make up for the time I missed when I stopped running earlier.

    May have to search on the internet to find the bpm for some of my songs and make sure I'm picking songs with a fast enough tempo to help my motivation.

    I didnt get a chance to run until after 7pm and it was dark. Although there isn't alot of traffic, I was a little apprehensive about running a rural road at night but I took a flash light and the dog leash is retro-reflective. It was actually better because I couldnt look ahead and see how far away it was to the end of the road and there were less cars and other pedestrian traffic. A LOT of people walk and jog on this road all day long. In the dark, no one could see me and my fat butt attempting to run! :laugh:

    Calves are still sore, I'll have my husband rub them a little tonight for me, but overall I'm satisfied with my run. 1.7miles at 17.41 per mile. Definite improvement over my 1st run! The road I go on is 1 mile long. My goal to meet by the end of W2 is to complete the full 2 miles before I finish the 5 min cooldown at the end, then W3 to finish the 2 miles before I get to the cooldown.

    My dog Summer seems to enjoy the exercise too!
