    Glad you're feeling better, iceprincess!

    Hi, Laura, I started later, too. The more the merrier!

    I finally got back on track today, after a forced hiatus. And the gym is open again! Wow, running indoors is SO much easier. Week 3, here I come!

    I just finished week 4 day 2. The last run was killing me but I powered through it.

    Finished today, finished today, finished today!!

    It was a HARD run -- the hardest I've had, because I've taken almost 1.5 weeks off between TOM & calf soreness/fatigue.
    The only thing that got me through was sheer stubbornness & willpower.

    As soon as I stopped, both of my calves seized up into cramps and my legs are telling me now that I may be regretting pushing myself so hard tomorrow, but right now I'm so glad to have finally been able to finish w9d3!
    Now, to work on speed!

    :drinker:

    I have one more day of week 4 also that I will be running on Monday. Starting week 5 on Wednesday! AHHHHH!!!!! I'm totally scared! I just started feeling comfortable with the longer runs in week 4 so hopefully my last day won't be a bear.

    Completed W5Day3 today the dreaded 20 minute. I woke up this morning and just decided I was going to do it and I did. Like others have said it really is a mind thing.

    On to week 6 Thursday.

    Awesome job, Ivy!

    I'm supposed to start week 3 tomorrow, but something is seriously up with my left knee. Going to see the doctor today, and I really hope I don't have to stay off it. I get so bored!

    Mango, I think it still counts.

    Went to see the doctor today about my knee pain. Turns out it's an inflamed ligament, at least according to a brief look-feel test. I'm supposed to take Motrin, ice it every night, and rest it for a week. :sad: I don't want to rest it for a week! I'm only one pound from my first mini goal!

    Hey, I'm really late to the party! Had a non running injury keep me out for the last two months and now that I am back together I have challenged my family to complete the couch to 5k with me. We did a trial yesterday and today is the official start of our program. We are on week one so I hope it's ok with everyone here if I join in, late.

    Any tips for week one from anyone?

    Ok, we are off for day one week one :love:

    Sunsh1ne, sorry about your knee. But it's better to rest it for a week than have to sit our for a month or worse.:flowerforyou:

    Mango, I'd count it. I skipped finishing four and went on to five. I think as long as you can finish a 5K at the end of the program, it's all good.

    welcome nichole

    Oh BOOO! Hope it's not too bad. I had to take 2 weeks off to let my plantar fasciitis heal and that was frustrating. Give your body some time to rest if it needs it.

    Last day of Week 4 today!

    I have plantar faciatis too and heal spurs to boot (one causes the other) and I was given a two week healing plan and told to get back to walking or running as soon as my heals started feeling better. Lack of movement can make the problem worse. Good luck, I know how irritating any type of injury or set back can be.
