    Completed Week 3 Day 1 - behind schedule due to vacation. I've lost my training partner daughter but hoping she will come back to it. The 3 minutes of "running" weren't as bad as I thought they would be.

    Finished Week 3 today! I accidentally jogged for 3 minutes instead of 1.5 for the first jog section because I didn't hear my notification to walk...oops. It makes me a little more confident about next week though. Good luck everyone; you're all doing great!

    On a side note, who else is really nervous that the 20 minute run is only ~2 weeks away? Eeek!

    Just finished w3d3 this morning. Felt good but I should not have looked at w4d1 yet! Feeling nervous already! Glad I have a two day break to get ready.
    I am already seeing a change in my family. My mom is now motivated to get out and walk and so is my four year old who went on a two mile walk with me yesterday with no complaining! He even said the best part of his day was our morning walk last night, which is huge since we went to the beach yesterday too! It makes it all worth it.

    That's awesome! I've got my husband doing this with me - I'm a little ahead of him but so proud of him for doing this, we're going to run the Zoo Run together on 9/23.
  • Took a few days off and I'm going to run tonight. I'm doing it on the treadmill at an incline and it's going so much better!!! The fact is that I'm even DOING it!! LOL Go me! Go US!! ;)

    Week 3 is done... Nervous about 4 as I still feel like dying... Maybe I should not do it right after the 30 day shred. :-)

    I started week 5 today and was shocked that after taking almost an entire week off from running (due to starting work and going on a work-retreat) I did better today than I have on any of my runs! Today was run 5 mins, walk 3 mins, run 5 mins, walk 3 mins, run 5 mins. I didn't think I would be able to make it but I did! I even ran 3 extra minutes into the cool down because I got so caught up in my music that I missed the cue to cool down! I never thought I would get to this point! Feeling really good and looking forward to my next few runs. I think this week on w5d3 I am supposed to run for 20 minutes without stopping...I'm REALLY nervous about that one!

    It's great seeing so many of you guys checking in and being consistent! Feels good to have the encouragement and accountability from this group!

    10:00 at night and I just finished Week 4 Day 2 of the C25K. It finally cooled down enough to get out there and do it.

    Got my week 3 day 2 in - it was much warmer out than when I did my day 1, so I have to admit it was harder and I was a minute slower for the same distance. Drat! The last 3 minute run allll I wanted to do was slow down but I still didn't walk when I should run - even if it was a slower jog! Only 1 more week 3 to go and then the march to week 4. Wow!

    Week 3 day 3 in. I am nervous to head on to week 4 - 5 minute intervals, and a lot of them! I made my last 3 minute interval a 4 minute today and did okay, then added two more 90 second intervals...Wednesday, here I come!
