    Got my first day of week 2 training in last night. Second interval was hardest for me. Day 2 is on the plan for tonight. How are you guys doing???

    Day 2 kicked my butt. I wanted to stop or slow down do many time...but I kept going. During the last interval I thought I might throw up. My HR was higher than usual (not sure why) and I think that made all the difference. I would like to get in the last run tonight because I have a work event Friday, but I am going to listen to my body...and possibly take the night off. TOM should also arrive today which could have been a factor in last night's bad run.

    How are you guys doing???

    Got my second day of week two in . Not been feeling good this week but still pressing on. Hope to get day three in on Saturday and and finish better then I started. If I don't do I redo week two over?:frown:

    I still have one more day to do too. If my third run isn't better than my second run, I think I will repeat the week. I know I would have no problem if I reduced my speed, but I really want this training to be about improving my speed!

    A week 2 "do over" is what I am going to do. Still going to do my day 3 tomorrow but start fresh next week.

    Sorry for the late reply girls...I'm starting week two again because I had the worst flu and haven't logged on for a few days.... but back on track now...so we can all start again together :happy:

    anttrail, always just start over wherever you left off or wherever you feel comfortable because its designed for low injury....so don't quit but don't worry about not being on track

    I am behind this week and struggling to find motivation to run after losing our sweet dog. I just can't believe that it happened. I don't feel like doing anything but sleeping...and yet I am not sleeping well either. My heart is just broken...as well as my husband's. We just seem to be walking through the motions without must living this week.

    I am soooooo sorry to hear this Jessi, I lost a horse last year so I completely understand. I've posted all the weeks so we can all progress at our own pace. Things will get better soon
