    Did W1 D2 this morning and it went well. I'll be doing day 3 Saturday afternoon after work because my gym doesn't open early enough on weekends for me to get it done in the morning. Hope everyone is doing awesome!

    Week one done!! Had to do Day 2 and Day 3 tonight ( I am sure that is not recommended) due to inability to get to the gym rest of week/weekend. Praying i can get out of bed tomorrow. :)

    W3D1 was a piece of cake today. The workout itself is actually shorter that the previous two weeks but you are running 3 minutes at a time. It was pretty easy and flew by. The only downside - it was a little colder than normal so I put on pants for the first time in a while and they started to fall off before the first run ended!

    Keep working hard! You can do this!

    W1D2 is in the books! My stamina was good, but my legs couldn't keep up... LOL My legs felt really tight and my shins were burning. I wasn't sure I would make it but I did.

    Does anyone know how to help with the shins? I don't want to end up with shin spints...

    I have that 'I Feel Good' song stuck in my head! Finished W1D3 at a higher pace than I started, so I'm very happy, and the scale was down. So it looks like it's going to be a great day! Hope everyone else has a great one and a great weekend. Now the battle begins for me - weekends are awful! But I'll check in for inspiration. Keep moving everybody!

    I managed yesterday to finish W4D2 without too much bother. I was glad when it finished - but generally II was very pleased with how it all went. I do day 3 tomorrow - then I am looking down the barrel of the dreaded week 5.
    Good job to all of those who are working their way through!

Well done everyone on the completion of week one, and others who are ahead, you are our inspiration, so please keep letting us know what it's like.

    W3D2 done! It went so well that I threw in a few extra uphill sprints! Legs are still a little wobbly hour later but I feel great!

    Hope everyone has had a fun and productive day! Keep it up!

    I went to the gym to run this morning... I realized after I finished today's run it was NOT W1D3 like I thought, it was W1D2 (again). Grrr....

    I may go run tomorrow, but I don't want to run 3 consecutive days (which I will since I am planning on running Monday) I don't want to risk shin splints. Oh well, at least I ran!

    Well - despite the rain my little dog and I bowled over day three of week - so happily we look to week 5 next week, I am trying my best not to be apprehensive.:smile:

    Ooooh! I would love to join you guys if I may. I started a little earlier, I was on week 5, day 2 Monday night(which was AWESOME! 8 min runs, 5 min walk, and it felt so empowering as someone who's never made it that far before!), but I was battling some shin splints, so I took the rest of the week off. I'm hoping I can get out tonight, but I'm going to backtrack a little bit and see how it goes. I'm starting week 5 over, so I'll start wk5, d1 tonight, and depending on how it goes, scoot up or down from there.

    Hmmmm.... According to the app I use (C25KPro on my Droid) week 1 days 2 & 3 are exactly the same anyway. ? :)

    Suffering with sing splints too, so my progress is going very very slowly unfortunately :(
    There are literally no parks or anything in my area either, so I'm having to run on hard surfaces.
    Hoping that they'll be feeling a little better to run on in a few days.

    Feel free to add me :)
