Week 3 - COMPLETE!!! YAY!!!
Got a bit of a later start this am on our Week 3 Day 3 run but it was gorgeous none the less.
We always go up the hill and out of our neighborhood for our 5 min warm up.
-We do our 3 min interval first b/c it works out to be a nice flat area.
Our walk takes us over the creek and up a small hill.
-Our 90 sec interval takes us up an incline into the backside of another subdivision.
Our walk takes us up a steeper hill and through an open alley of sorts.
-Our next 3 min run is along a nice straight stretch but for some reason it's a killer.
Our walk takes us through a business parking lot and then we start our run back home.
-We did the 90 sec interval and another walk.
*On the downhill stretch we did a 4 min run to see how long we could go.
The 5 min cool down actually doesn't get us home - its more like a 15min cool down and then we stretch our calves and legs out on the steps going up to the house.
All in all it is a good route and gets us up to 3.7 miles/per day when its all said and done.
I think about how many miles we are walking a week doing this route Mon, Wed, & Fri for the C25K.
Then add in the rest days that we usually walk this same route and it figures out to be close to 18.5 miles a week.
That is a lot considering I was doing on average a big fat 0 miles a week before this program. lol
I am a bit nervous about Week 4 but we will pull it off. I never thought I would be able to run the 3min. and I am doing closer to 4, so I will push myself to go farther. If I have to do Week 3 again it will disappoint me but won't be the end of the world.
I love reading about all your efforts during the week and how you all are doing.
Keep up the great work and keep pushing forward.

was excited to see a thread on C25K (just joined this site today). Previously I had gotten to week 4 and just couldn't manage to get through it. 5 min run was too much for me. I repeated the entire week 4 twice and not one time could I make it to 5 min run. I want to try it again though...thinking about doing it from the beginning since I haven't done much at all since I pooped out with it 2 months ago. Good luck to everyone in week 4!0

Finished day 3 of week 3. Had a teeny tiny breakthough... on my 3 minute run, for aobut a good minute, I was not thinking about the run at all. I have a job interview on Tuesday so I was going over my shpeel in my head and totally forgot that I was even running. It was awesome!!! Plus, I ran about 30 extra seconds at the end, just to see if I could do it, and I could! =0)
Great job everyone, see you all in week 4!!! =0)0 -
Question... and this is probably just fear talking... next week, week 4, we run a total of 16 minutes. That is almost double what we ran this week (9 minutes). I'm scared! Why the big jump???0
