    Starting it tonight after my first weekend back at work from maturnity leave. Not looking foreword to it after 2 12 hr shifts. Only oncedid I make it for the full 5 min both times one week 4. It was close but it does not count. Figured I would give it a shot and if I need to I can repeat. Let's do this!!

    I think I may repeat week 5. Well... maybe day 2 for a few days.... The 2nd 8 min run gives me trouble. I tried day 3 and I'm just not ready to run 25 min at once.

    I am! I'm excited but scared! I am mostly hoping the weather is not so hot and humid as it has been. Friend request sent!

    W5D2 8 minutes 5 minutes 8 minutes

    W5D1 finished. First 5 min run was easy. First time I looked down at my watch was 30 sec till the walking. Surprised me. Heck yeah. May be W5D3 is not to far out of reach.

    I just did Day 2 of Week 5 yesterday. I thought there were three runs instead of just two 8 min runs so I ended up running after the "cool down" ended. I'll probably be doing day 3 tonight or tomorrow night.

    Everyone is doing so great!

    I tackled day one early this morning, with no problems. Such a long way from a week ago, when I was frustrated and struggling with the 5 min segments.

    fjrandol - you got this....just take it slow :)

    I did W5D2 this morning. It was surprisingly easy! My day 3 shows Warmup 5:00, jog 8:00, walk 2:00, jog 10:00, walk 2:00. I use the C25K app on iPhone called Run 5K by Lucius Kwon and Kasten Searles.

    That's weird! W5D3 is supposed to be the 20 minute run.

    On my app W6D3 is the 20 minute run.

    Out of curiosity, how weeks is the program on your app?

    I may have screwed myself for tomorrow morning....I just got home from a 45 minute bike ride on the Prairie Path

    8 minutes? Only twice? HA! Piece of cake ! We definitely have this whipped!
