    I finished Week 3 this morning. I'm so proud of myself for finishing. I was very scared of the 3 minute runs, but i did it. On to week 4. I'm a nervous of the 5 minute runs. I'm also starting a 4 week bootcamp next week. So we'll just have to see how that all works together.

    You can do it! I think you'll surprise yourself. Be sure to come back and let us know how it went for you.

    Went really well today! I use the runkeeper app to see how far I go and what my pace is (just because) and was surprised that my overall pace was under a 9 minute mile! I thought to myself "this can't be right!" Well, when I looked at the breakdown, it said I did my 5 minute warm up walk at a 4 minute mile pace! So, pretty sure something screwed up there! I'm trying to be extra careful to go slow on the 3 minute runs so I don't overdo it, and it went great.

    One of the houses I ran past had their dog out front, who proceeded to chase me. I stopped and yelled "no!" in a deep voice, which stopped the dog. This is the second time this has happened (both different houses). He was friendly, but it still drives me nuts! Keep your dog in the house or on a leash!

    Thanks! It did go really well. Once I had done the first 3 minutes I knew I could do it and now I feel really great I finished properly.

    Tomorrow is week 3 day 3. Day 1 was pretty easy. Day 2 was a struggle this week, but my DH went with me and kept me motivated. Looking forward to Day 3 tomorrow. I have been doing c25K on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. (On Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday I am doing EA Sports Active 2 nine week program on medium.) A few times I have missed a workout and made it up on my C25K days, prior to running, which is a great warm-up, but leaves me tired by the end of the run! Weight is coming off slow but inches fast, so can't complain. What are you doing on your non-running days?
