    Did week 6 day 2 this morning. 10 min in a row is something, even if I did 20 min in a row last week, I still found it hard this morning...we'll see what 22 min in a row look like on Thursday!

    Also, I agreed to go do insanity pure cardio with a co worker tomorrow on lunch break...hoping that my new cardio endurance helps!

    Such a nice weather to run outside in Montreal! Went at 11 am under the sun and light wind! Jogged that 25 min all the way! Had a side point when there were 4 min left but continued and took some large breath. Went further but kept the same pace all the way. I can start smelling that 5K distance!

    Hate that.....that's why I am glad i can run at the rec center here in town. However, on Sunday I will have to run outside. Need to change my days next week since the rec center is closed on the 4th.

    I for one wish I had to reschedule due to rain. It's very dry here (East TN). I'm did W2D2 today and just keep plugging away. Kudos to you on passing the bar and your progress on C25K.

    I can run inside at my jobs gym, we even have showers...unfortunately I couldn't go on lunch time today due to a meeting... And running outshine in summer is just the best feeling!
