Woooow that's amazing! So glad she gets to be home for her birthday and that she didn't lose an ovary! that must be awful, 10cm! Give her lots of hugs
I nearly flagged my run today, I'm working out of town at the moment but travelling each way every day. It's a 2 hour drive, so we leave at 6.30am and get home at 6.30pm. I thought I would have time to run before it got dark but it was dark when I got home tonight so had dinner and decided not to run. But Ive changed my mind, I'm going to study and let my dinner settle then go out where there are streetlights. I can't let my progress get away from me cos I'm scared of a little boogeyman
I'll let you guys know how I go. How's everyone else going? Sticking to schedule?0 -
Did week 3 day 1 today, i was quite scared actually running for 3 mins was ok no numb feet today but i desperately need to get new running shoes like yesterday !!! my knee is aching a bit not so am going to ice it in a sec
just thought i'd share with you the lovely view i had this morning on my run !!
Have a great day everyone !! you all keep me motivated to do this !!0 -
Beautiful running spot! You guys keep me motivated too I went out for my run last night even though it was dark and scary (next time I'm taking my boyfriend) but it was really easy, seemed way easier than week 3 was! So perhaps running at night is good for me 0

I did week 4 Day 1 today. It wasnt too bad. It seems day 2 of each week is my easiest so looking forward to Wednesdays run.

Ha we are matching! I will be doing W4D2 on either Wednesday or Thursday. I actually found W4D1 easier than W3 haha not sure why. It may have been because I was terrified of being mugged or kidnapped running at night. I'm a scaredy-cat0 -
HI! Looks like you guys are doing great! I took an extra day off but was back at it today. Did W3D1 today.
Char, I'm on your heels!!! BTW, that looked like a lovely run spot! So glad to hear you sister is going to be okay.
Alex and ammamma (did I spell that right?) way to go!!! 0 -

Well that would move me right along as well. Am I the only treadmill runner???? 0 -
HI Dawn (sorry, I didn't remember names from our first thread!) :blushing: Thanks for making it easier.
Nope, you're not the only treadmill runner, I've been using mine too. Mine is broken though - I can't set it to an incline, so it's all at 0 incline. I enjoy being able to control the speed.
I've been getting outdoors for a run about once a week so far. I live in a super hilly area so it kind of compensates for the treadmill. My pace is slower but it takes more effort to get it done. So either way, I've got a great workout.
Man, I'm beat today! Did my run this morning and an abs dvd, then went for a swim in the ocean. The water was STRONG and I'm so wiped out. What a great day though. :bigsmile:0 -
did week 3 day 2 today was a bit miserable weather wise and windy but i got out there, got a blister from my new trainers but it didn't hurt that much.
slightly better today although i think i need a knee support as my right knee is aching still and after doing a bit of research i think that would be best
i may stick on week 3 till the end of next week, but will see how it goes
keep going girls we are doing great !!0 -

You're doing great! I did week 3 day 2 today also - so far I seem to be keeping up with the schedule well. I can't remember which week I repeated the first time I did this, might have been 3 or 4. In any case, I'm a fan of extending the schedule until you're ready to move on.
I really hope your knee feels better soon - get the support you need! I'm no expert on this but I know what when you're knee is tricky it can mess a lot of exercise up. Better to be safe than sorry, right?0 -

I had a look through many running websites at all their knee pain articles etc and it looks like where my feet roll inwards it strains the joint so a support is recommended, i'll see how i go and may go to the doctor if it doesn't improve or gets worse0 -
Sorry I got this up so late.0 -
finished week 3 today and my knee is feeling good !!!! going to move onto week 4 next week although i am dreading it as i am still struggling a little with the 3 min runs and have to 5 mi runs as well next week !!!
keep going girls we are doing great !!0 -
Yay Dawn - thanks for the inspiration.
Char - I agree, we are doing great. I haven't had the guts to look forward at next week's schedule - but WE CAN DO IT!
I also finished W3D3 today, and guess where I did it at.....
That's right! Down into and across a volcanic crater. Yep, you heard me! It was a blast! I had so much fun that now I need to save up for trail running shoes. :bigsmile: 0 -

Week 4 already! Almost half way there. The spa sounds heavenly. HEAVENLY. Enjoy! :flowerforyou: 0 -
Just reporting in that I did W4, D1 today also.
To be honest, it kind of sucked. I thought it was going to be easy and it was more of a challenge than I expected. However, I stuck with it and for that, I am proud. Go me!
Let's keep going chicas .... :flowerforyou:0 -
i got half way through week 4 day 2 and had to stop after the first 5 min run, my shins were screaming in agony and i was at the same pace as monday.
I spoke to the fitness instructor at the gym and she recommended taking a week off and focus on exercises to build the tibial muscles & seeing how it goes and to see my local sports shop to see if i need inserts for my shoes .
So I am going to stop till monday and see how it is then and go to the sports shop tomorrow !!0 -

Owie!!!! I'm so glad you didn't force yourself to keep going through that pain - I'm sure you pushed yourself as it was. Good job giving it your all. This week will fly by and you'll be back at it. Who knows, I might be repeating week 4 anyway - so we may still be on the same schedule!
I am supposed to do W4D2 today but my booty hurts! I''ve been doing Tone It Up workouts with lots of lifts, lunges, etc and targeting my butt muscles. Talk about sore! I'm thinking about making today a no exercise day. Then again.... I could talk myself into just doing it. We'll see.
Take care Char! 0 -

It's hard doing them all a! I just had a big break so my body is not sore anymore, but doing c25k, tone it up, and zombie apocalypse - my body is constantly sore haha. Good sore though!0 -
i had my gait and stride analysed and until i can afford new shoes or orthopaedic inserts for my current shoes i can't run as it could damage my right leg as it lands rolled in then rolls in some more :ohwell:
so will continue at the gym doing cardio and strength days until the money fairy visits0 -

At least you know what you can and can't do.... and there's a lot you can still do! I hope the money fairy brings you a huge deposit - and while she's at it, she can swing by my place too! 0 -
Alex - what's Zombie Apocalypse?? I keep seeing those words floating around but had no clue it was an exercise challenge or program? You must be one hard core chickie!
I actually did do W4D2 on Wednesday but forgot to report back. Then I did a HIIT Tone It up Workout after that. I was proud.
Yesterday I did take a rest day, my body really needed it. I did W4D2 today. Feeling quite pleased with the progress I'm making so far, and proud of us all. 0 -

Zombie apocalypse is another mfp group - we are in teams and each week we get challenges, so this week everyone has climb 2,000 stairs, do 300 crunches and 100 push ups.
I'm in the middle of redoing w3 so doing w3d2 this afternoon as long as the weather stays clear!0 -
Uh oh Alex ... Is it down to you and me? I promise I'll stick to it and complete the full schedule. Did week 5 day 1 today. Felt pretty good. Pushed myself to a higher speed on the 3rd five minute stretch. 0

Looks like it! Haha. I'm a wee bit behind from repeating week 3, but doing week 4 day one tomorrow Tone it up says to do a HIIT routine today, but I just saw it now (8.30pm) and have an exam at 9 tomorrow morning and don't think I'll be doing any amount of exercise until afterwards so I'm doing the c25k instead of HIIT and tomorrow afternoon instead of today haha.
The other part says to sign up for a race. I think a race will be really motivational so considering it -are you planning on signing up for one?0 -
Hey ladies. Glad to see some of you are still running. I HOPE to be back running next week. I think I may start up with week 3 again. Most of my pains are gone. Hope they stay away. Have a great day! Oh and sorry I forgot to post my Inspiration on Thursday. Won't forget this week. 0
