W1D2
All went well this morning,
I woke up earlier than I should and that is a bonus, as it has taken my three months to make it out of bed early at all.
I had different pants on today so I didnt have to hold them and keep them up.
I went about .5kms more than D1.
Feeling good and looking forward to my D3......
W1D3
It was a lot harder to get out of bed this morning. I did it and off I went. Much more organized on the third day. Music was set. MFP was set and off I went. I went a little further this time as well. 3.6km I’m really trying to work more on getting to the finish line than worry about how far I get.
Well 2 day break from it but I’ll still walk like I normally do. It’s a public holiday here on Monday so that will make it that much harder to get it done. I wonder if I can do W2D1 tomorrow morning than have sun and Monday off? But then it will spoil my mon wed fri routine I love so much. Just have to be strong about and just do it.
I am most looking forward to seeing how week 2 goes.
Happy long weekend all

Wow public holiday raining and windy and I still managed to get out of bed and go for my jog/walk.
I really believe this time I have something different going on inside my head. The scales are now a once in a three month thing.
I got to the stage of getting on them every day and was just playing mind games with me.
I'm feeling much better and when I look in the mirror it is so much easy to smile when I don't have numbers in my head telling me how bad I am.
Today's walk/jog was not easy but it is done and I'm looking forward to the next one. It's so nice to feel good for a change and it has nothing to do with scales.
No longer will they rule my life. So I'll be back on Wednesday to write how it went...
W2D2
Was hard to get out of bed this morning. I really need to get to bed earlier. I feel so good after I have done my walk/jog its just getting out there and doing it.
Louie the fly decided to come with me today. It was very frustrating and kept bugging me for at least 10 mins of the walk. Nearly ate him twice and went up my nose once. Mind you the ten minutes that I was shuing this fly away went so fast.
I’m looking forward to Friday for the last one of Week 2. I know that next week it gets a little bit harder but I’m ready for it.
Time really does go fast.

Was good getting out of bed early today. I struggled a bit with today. I think it was because of the 7.5km I walked last night. I think im going to give this one an other try tomorrow morning just so I can be confirdant that I have can do it and move on to Week 3 on monday.
W3D1
Was really hard to get out of bed today. I was lucky enough my partner made me do it. At the time I was not so happy with the shining of the light but once up and dressed and out the door I was so happy that they got me out of bed.
In alot of ways it was harder but in a different way it was easier. Jog for three mintues was a killer but only had to do that twice and by the second time I was fine and waited for the third one but there is no third run for 3 mins. I feel that I cheated with out cheating. For the cool down I walked a min and joged a min then did added a cool down.I enjoyed it and loved the new challange but it just does not feel right. Im sure there is a reason why they dont push that hard on the third week and Im sure once I start week 4 I will want week 3 back.
W3D2
Got out of bed on my own. Was ready for this one. Im not sure I like it at all. When Im finished the jog I really feel I have not put in enough. Im sure next week will be more challanging.
W3D3 was not as easy but it was my own fault as I had a late night. I think the Mon Wed Fri are better for me. Week 4 and Im not sure I am ready, but I can do it over and over till I know that week 5 I will be able aleast to finish it.. Mind over matter and that is really what I want to achieve here. Good luck all......0 -
Don't let week 5 scare you. If you can complete all the runs in week four, you can do week 5. You have been running for four weeks now and will be running for 5 by the time the dreaded 20 minute run comes up. You will be well prepared to finish that run as long as you don't let your self-doubt get in the way.0

Well after a big weekend it was very hard to get this one started. I did it on Tuesday night after work. I think it is alot easier in the mornings but it had to be done.
I have another big weekend this weekend as well. My Mum is coming down from QLD and Im taking her to see Carol King at the Hunter. (Winery) So I have to get these runsdone.
I went ok on the first 3min run then it was time for the 5 min run. I did it every every slowly but I did see the end of that one. Then the next 3 min run went ok, But the next 5 min run well I think I could have walked faster but I didnt stop. As much as I felt I needed too I kept pushing. My legs were burning and I did feel I was going to lose my right leg. I told myself that I was being stupid and that my brain was not working correctly. I kept going and finished it. Not very strong but it was done.
I may have to stay on week 4 longer then they 3 days. I really want to finish this with ease before going to the next week.
Ill see how I go for the next 2 runs and make up my mind to stay on 4 or go to week 5.0 -
Push just enough to keep you motivated, not enough to hurt. Speed will come naturally later. Just focus on finishing the run and finishing the program. I know there was a point where I realized that I had more on the table and could just take it without really "pushing." I don't quite remember what week that was, though.
Also, I was doing super-fast intervals last night to increase my speed and, since I completed the C25K program, I found I have a capacity for developing myself as a runner that I certainly didn't have before week 8. I had to stop a little early because running at 180 bpm (6.7 mph) was setting off my exercise-induced asthma but I'm not even really sore today. When I compare myself today to how tired i was after slowly jogging the Week 3 runs, I can't even believe that I'm the same person - and that's only a 6 week difference.0 -

Not a good start. I was doing all so good even feeling very happy with myself and then out of no where a big dog come and and attacked my partners dog. The screams were horrible. He just but him in his mouth and started shaking him. My partner panicked as it like a baby to them. I heard the screams and came back. Im not sure how we got the big dog to let go but he did. Our dog has a puncher wound on his butt. Off to the vet today. Why do people let their dogs walk if they know they are dangers. When walking back carrying our baby a man stopped us and told us that the dog had attacked another little dog about three months ago and the dog was put on a dangers dog register. We love our dog as I would say these people love theirs. We have thought about and will not take it further as we dont want the dog in trouble. Just wish the owners where better keepers and maybe put a muzzle on it when taking it out.
After the walk home and only have done half I got up this morning and went and started it again. I have to say im very proud of me that I did it. I did it better than the first day of week 4. no sore muscles today. Looking forward to tomorrows. I hope it is ok to do it with out a rest day....0 -
I hope your dog is ok. How did the vet visit go?0

I just did W1D1 today. It was sooo much harder than I thought! It was hard to catch my breath at times but I stayed on track and completed it! I feel good!0

Great job evenescencexl! I like the quote "The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I ever started." That applies to each of us. It will be awesome to hear how you progress over the weeks.0

Well after the dog been attack this one had to be put on hold. Update on the dog, he is still very sore and living under the bed and not coming out much only to wee. He is eating and drinking so at least that is one thing. Its so sad to look in his eyes and not see the sparkle there.
My jog this morning was really good. Im feeling the best I have in a very long time. Finally doing things for myself and seeing the rewards at the end. I went the fastest I have gone this morning. Not that I was trying I just could and it was pushing myself to the next step. I thinking I might stay on week 4 for another week but then again I think im ready for the next step. My body feels good.0 -
You are totally ready for week 5!0

Well after the dog been attack this one had to be put on hold. Update on the dog, he is still very sore and living under the bed and not coming out much only to wee. He is eating and drinking so at least that is one thing. Its so sad to look in his eyes and not see the sparkle there.
My jog this morning was really good. Im feeling the best I have in a very long time. Finally doing things for myself and seeing the rewards at the end. I went the fastest I have gone this morning. Not that I was trying I just could and it was pushing myself to the next step. I thinking I might stay on week 4 for another week but then again I think im ready for the next step. My body feels good.

What a morning. Woke up and the rain started. The thought of just rolling over and getting 1hr more sleep was so nice. But i thought nope I need to do this. Up and dressed I got. Went out the front door and the rain stopped. I took off. I was so focused and I did it. the first run was for 5mins finished that well. then 3min walk, now 2nd 5min run a bit slower then the first but I made it. Than the last 5min run I found it hard but not that hard that I couldnt finish it. In the end I was very happy with my efforts. Im really getting us to this C25K.0 -
I started today and it was great, except for the shin and calf pain. I usually get some shin splints when running, but today was worse. Not sure if its my shoes. They are new and decent,. but maybe not made for my feet to run in??!!
Enjoyed it though!!0 -
W1D2
All went well this morning,
I woke up earlier than I should and that is a bonus, as it has taken my three months to make it out of bed early at all.
I had different pants on today so I didnt have to hold them and keep them up.
I went about .5kms more than D1.
Feeling good and looking forward to my D3......
W1D3
It was a lot harder to get out of bed this morning. I did it and off I went. Much more organized on the third day. Music was set. MFP was set and off I went. I went a little further this time as well. 3.6km I’m really trying to work more on getting to the finish line than worry about how far I get.
Well 2 day break from it but I’ll still walk like I normally do. It’s a public holiday here on Monday so that will make it that much harder to get it done. I wonder if I can do W2D1 tomorrow morning than have sun and Monday off? But then it will spoil my mon wed fri routine I love so much. Just have to be strong about and just do it.
I am most looking forward to seeing how week 2 goes.
Happy long weekend all
W2D1
Wow public holiday raining and windy and I still managed to get out of bed and go for my jog/walk.
I really believe this time I have something different going on inside my head. The scales are now a once in a three month thing.
I got to the stage of getting on them every day and was just playing mind games with me.
I'm feeling much better and when I look in the mirror it is so much easy to smile when I don't have numbers in my head telling me how bad I am.
Today's walk/jog was not easy but it is done and I'm looking forward to the next one. It's so nice to feel good for a change and it has nothing to do with scales.
No longer will they rule my life. So I'll be back on Wednesday to write how it went...
W2D2
Was hard to get out of bed this morning. I really need to get to bed earlier. I feel so good after I have done my walk/jog its just getting out there and doing it.
Louie the fly decided to come with me today. It was very frustrating and kept bugging me for at least 10 mins of the walk. Nearly ate him twice and went up my nose once. Mind you the ten minutes that I was shuing this fly away went so fast.
I’m looking forward to Friday for the last one of Week 2. I know that next week it gets a little bit harder but I’m ready for it.
Time really does go fast.
W2D3
Was good getting out of bed early today. I struggled a bit with today. I think it was because of the 7.5km I walked last night. I think im going to give this one an other try tomorrow morning just so I can be confirdant that I have can do it and move on to Week 3 on monday.
W3D1
Was really hard to get out of bed today. I was lucky enough my partner made me do it. At the time I was not so happy with the shining of the light but once up and dressed and out the door I was so happy that they got me out of bed.
In alot of ways it was harder but in a different way it was easier. Jog for three mintues was a killer but only had to do that twice and by the second time I was fine and waited for the third one but there is no third run for 3 mins. I feel that I cheated with out cheating. For the cool down I walked a min and joged a min then did added a cool down.I enjoyed it and loved the new challange but it just does not feel right. Im sure there is a reason why they dont push that hard on the third week and Im sure once I start week 4 I will want week 3 back.
W3D2
Got out of bed on my own. Was ready for this one. Im not sure I like it at all. When Im finished the jog I really feel I have not put in enough. Im sure next week will be more challanging.
W3D3 was not as easy but it was my own fault as I had a late night. I think the Mon Wed Fri are better for me. Week 4 and Im not sure I am ready, but I can do it over and over till I know that week 5 I will be able aleast to finish it.. Mind over matter and that is really what I want to achieve here. Good luck all......
W4D1
Well after a big weekend it was very hard to get this one started. I did it on Tuesday night after work. I think it is alot easier in the mornings but it had to be done.
I have another big weekend this weekend as well. My Mum is coming down from QLD and Im taking her to see Carol King at the Hunter. (Winery) So I have to get these runsdone.
I went ok on the first 3min run then it was time for the 5 min run. I did it every every slowly but I did see the end of that one. Then the next 3 min run went ok, But the next 5 min run well I think I could have walked faster but I didnt stop. As much as I felt I needed too I kept pushing. My legs were burning and I did feel I was going to lose my right leg. I told myself that I was being stupid and that my brain was not working correctly. I kept going and finished it. Not very strong but it was done.
I may have to stay on week 4 longer then they 3 days. I really want to finish this with ease before going to the next week.
Ill see how I go for the next 2 runs and make up my mind to stay on 4 or go to week 5.
W4D2
Not a good start. I was doing all so good even feeling very happy with myself and then out of no where a big dog come and and attacked my partners dog. The screams were horrible. He just but him in his mouth and started shaking him. My partner panicked as it like a baby to them. I heard the screams and came back. Im not sure how we got the big dog to let go but he did. Our dog has a puncher wound on his butt. Off to the vet today. Why do people let their dogs walk if they know they are dangers. When walking back carrying our baby a man stopped us and told us that the dog had attacked another little dog about three months ago and the dog was put on a dangers dog register. We love our dog as I would say these people love theirs. We have thought about and will not take it further as we dont want the dog in trouble. Just wish the owners where better keepers and maybe put a muzzle on it when taking it out.
After the walk home and only have done half I got up this morning and went and started it again. I have to say im very proud of me that I did it. I did it better than the first day of week 4. no sore muscles today. Looking forward to tomorrows. I hope it is ok to do it with out a rest day....

I did it Idid it Idid it...20mins full jog no stop. I went with the mind set I could do it and would do it. the first 14mins I was traveling well. Then I looked at the time for the first time. I still had 6 mins left. I told my self that I did 2 lots of 8 last time so I should be able to make the 16min make ok. Once I hit that I knew that I only had 4 mins left I went a little slower but once the one min left came up I was so excited I jogged with a smile and had the count down on. After I was so excited. I walked 2mins of the cool down and then jogged a min and walked a min and jogged a min until I was done.. Wow is all I can say. I was so very excited and had done this for me and made it....Proud as of myself. I can do this and I will do this.....Yay0 -
I just did W1D1 today! It kicked my *kitten*, really, really bad. I mean, I was in PAIN. I pushed through it, but I'm definitely going to repeat this day again tomorrow. I had NO idea I was this unhealthy, and I feel like I've really let myself down. Does it get easier as you go? I mean, for people who are on other weeks, do you feel like you can breathe easier when you're running now as opposed to when you first started? I hope so. I hate that breathless, I'm-going-to-die feeling. o.O But I'm determined to keep doing this!0

Yes! Most definitely it gets easier! My legs are tired way before I run out of breath now. When first started my lungs felt a bit raw. (I was running outside in the cold too.) Actually I have asthma and since I have started running that has very much improved! I do w5d3 tomorrow. I NEVER thought I would be running and enjoying it!0 -

Well done. Yes im surprised that I did it.. Really it is only the mind that stops you....Im ready for anything. I look forward to each and every Jog.....
Keep up the good work let me know how you go....0 -
Wow. I'm so happy for you!0
-
Typo I just did W5D2 (not D3)...but I surprised myself...I was sore from cross training the day before on weight machines and 30 minutes on a bike (first time I did that on a rest day), but I made it through without any problems and even added one more "for fun" lap! I really almost can't believe that this is working...I'm trying really hard not to get intimidated by the 20 min run I know is coming...so far so good.0
-
bttrthanevr - go ahead...be intimidated. It's part of the fun of this program That way, when you kick that 20 minute run in the rear and keep going, you can feel extra proud of yourself! LOL. You have so got this. 0

All went well this morning,
I woke up earlier than I should and that is a bonus, as it has taken my three months to make it out of bed early at all.
I had different pants on today so I didnt have to hold them and keep them up.
I went about .5kms more than D1.
Feeling good and looking forward to my D3......
W1D3
It was a lot harder to get out of bed this morning. I did it and off I went. Much more organized on the third day. Music was set. MFP was set and off I went. I went a little further this time as well. 3.6km I’m really trying to work more on getting to the finish line than worry about how far I get.
Well 2 day break from it but I’ll still walk like I normally do. It’s a public holiday here on Monday so that will make it that much harder to get it done. I wonder if I can do W2D1 tomorrow morning than have sun and Monday off? But then it will spoil my mon wed fri routine I love so much. Just have to be strong about and just do it.
I am most looking forward to seeing how week 2 goes.
Happy long weekend all
W2D1
Wow public holiday raining and windy and I still managed to get out of bed and go for my jog/walk.
I really believe this time I have something different going on inside my head. The scales are now a once in a three month thing.
I got to the stage of getting on them every day and was just playing mind games with me.
I'm feeling much better and when I look in the mirror it is so much easy to smile when I don't have numbers in my head telling me how bad I am.
Today's walk/jog was not easy but it is done and I'm looking forward to the next one. It's so nice to feel good for a change and it has nothing to do with scales.
No longer will they rule my life. So I'll be back on Wednesday to write how it went...

Was hard to get out of bed this morning. I really need to get to bed earlier. I feel so good after I have done my walk/jog its just getting out there and doing it.
Louie the fly decided to come with me today. It was very frustrating and kept bugging me for at least 10 mins of the walk. Nearly ate him twice and went up my nose once. Mind you the ten minutes that I was shuing this fly away went so fast.
I’m looking forward to Friday for the last one of Week 2. I know that next week it gets a little bit harder but I’m ready for it.
Time really does go fast.

Was good getting out of bed early today. I struggled a bit with today. I think it was because of the 7.5km I walked last night. I think im going to give this one an other try tomorrow morning just so I can be confirdant that I have can do it and move on to Week 3 on monday.

Was really hard to get out of bed today. I was lucky enough my partner made me do it. At the time I was not so happy with the shining of the light but once up and dressed and out the door I was so happy that they got me out of bed.
In alot of ways it was harder but in a different way it was easier. Jog for three mintues was a killer but only had to do that twice and by the second time I was fine and waited for the third one but there is no third run for 3 mins. I feel that I cheated with out cheating. For the cool down I walked a min and joged a min then did added a cool down.I enjoyed it and loved the new challange but it just does not feel right. Im sure there is a reason why they dont push that hard on the third week and Im sure once I start week 4 I will want week 3 back.

Got out of bed on my own. Was ready for this one. Im not sure I like it at all. When Im finished the jog I really feel I have not put in enough. Im sure next week will be more challanging.
W3D3 was not as easy but it was my own fault as I had a late night. I think the Mon Wed Fri are better for me. Week 4 and Im not sure I am ready, but I can do it over and over till I know that week 5 I will be able aleast to finish it.. Mind over matter and that is really what I want to achieve here. Good luck all......

Well after a big weekend it was very hard to get this one started. I did it on Tuesday night after work. I think it is alot easier in the mornings but it had to be done.
I have another big weekend this weekend as well. My Mum is coming down from QLD and Im taking her to see Carol King at the Hunter. (Winery) So I have to get these runsdone.
I went ok on the first 3min run then it was time for the 5 min run. I did it every every slowly but I did see the end of that one. Then the next 3 min run went ok, But the next 5 min run well I think I could have walked faster but I didnt stop. As much as I felt I needed too I kept pushing. My legs were burning and I did feel I was going to lose my right leg. I told myself that I was being stupid and that my brain was not working correctly. I kept going and finished it. Not very strong but it was done.
I may have to stay on week 4 longer then they 3 days. I really want to finish this with ease before going to the next week.
Ill see how I go for the next 2 runs and make up my mind to stay on 4 or go to week 5.

Not a good start. I was doing all so good even feeling very happy with myself and then out of no where a big dog come and and attacked my partners dog. The screams were horrible. He just but him in his mouth and started shaking him. My partner panicked as it like a baby to them. I heard the screams and came back. Im not sure how we got the big dog to let go but he did. Our dog has a puncher wound on his butt. Off to the vet today. Why do people let their dogs walk if they know they are dangers. When walking back carrying our baby a man stopped us and told us that the dog had attacked another little dog about three months ago and the dog was put on a dangers dog register. We love our dog as I would say these people love theirs. We have thought about and will not take it further as we dont want the dog in trouble. Just wish the owners where better keepers and maybe put a muzzle on it when taking it out.
After the walk home and only have done half I got up this morning and went and started it again. I have to say im very proud of me that I did it. I did it better than the first day of week 4. no sore muscles today. Looking forward to tomorrows. I hope it is ok to do it with out a rest day....
W4D3
Well after the dog been attack this one had to be put on hold. Update on the dog, he is still very sore and living under the bed and not coming out much only to wee. He is eating and drinking so at least that is one thing. Its so sad to look in his eyes and not see the sparkle there.
My jog this morning was really good. Im feeling the best I have in a very long time. Finally doing things for myself and seeing the rewards at the end. I went the fastest I have gone this morning. Not that I was trying I just could and it was pushing myself to the next step. I thinking I might stay on week 4 for another week but then again I think im ready for the next step. My body feels good.

What a morning. Woke up and the rain started. The thought of just rolling over and getting 1hr more sleep was so nice. But i thought nope I need to do this. Up and dressed I got. Went out the front door and the rain stopped. I took off. I was so focused and I did it. the first run was for 5mins finished that well. then 3min walk, now 2nd 5min run a bit slower then the first but I made it. Than the last 5min run I found it hard but not that hard that I couldnt finish it. In the end I was very happy with my efforts. Im really getting us to this C25K.

What a day. 2* 8min runs. I did it. Non stop both times. Second 8mins was hard but I did it. Not a great speed but I still finish and feel so good for been able to do it. The weather was perfect. Nice and cool. I have the rhythm I'm happy with. Now the next on is a straight 20min run. Bring it on I say......
W5D3
I did it Idid it Idid it...20mins full jog no stop. I went with the mind set I could do it and would do it. the first 14mins I was traveling well. Then I looked at the time for the first time. I still had 6 mins left. I told my self that I did 2 lots of 8 last time so I should be able to make the 16min make ok. Once I hit that I knew that I only had 4 mins left I went a little slower but once the one min left came up I was so excited I jogged with a smile and had the count down on. After I was so excited. I walked 2mins of the cool down and then jogged a min and walked a min and jogged a min until I was done.. Wow is all I can say. I was so very excited and had done this for me and made it....Proud as of myself. I can do this and I will do this.....Yay

Well after the great high of running 20mins straight I was a little lost with todays efforts. Yes I did them all but does not feel as good as doing the 20min full jog. I sort of wanted it to be longer. Its funny how the mind works. I have done it and happy just not over excited like I was on w5d3. O well I look forward to my next straight run.
I go on a cruise tomorrow for 8 days. Going to try my best to still get my runs done. If not I will be on week 6 when I get back....There is a gym on board but tinny. There is a walking track up the top deck and Im hopping to make use of it......Not sure how I feel with others watching me though. Just go with the flow and what ever I can do will be a bonus....0 -
Don't worry about others watching you, just go out there and do what you know how to do! And have fun!!! 0

bttrthanevr - go ahead...be intimidated. It's part of the fun of this program That way, when you kick that 20 minute run in the rear and keep going, you can feel extra proud of yourself! LOL. You have so got this.
Thanks for the encouragement!! I have a few more days to think about it...I don't think my program does the 20min run until next week sometime...I still have two 8mins and two 10mins to get through before that. 0 -

You are fabulous. This diary is so inspirational. I slacked off my C25k the last couple of weeks but I'm going to take it back up tomorrow at the week I left off, 3, and nail it. I might even write about it in my blog as you have here to keep me motivated. Can't wait to read your next installment. Have a lovely cruise xx0

Thank you. I have been on a 8 day cruise to Tasmania. I did do wk7 day 1 and 2 but I had to do it on a treadmill and really didn't like it. So I'm going to start back at week7 and see how that goes on Monday. I'm enjoying the runs and was in such a good space. I'm sure ill get back there ASAP.....0

For me, it flickered on and off for the last couple of weeks of C25k and the first couple of weeks after graduation. I haven't had a bad run in quite some time though.0
