Good bye intervals, hello steady runs! Wahoo! New personal best for 1 mile - 10m:12s! I should run with a cold more often! One last run and I'm week 7!0

Week 3 day 2 done. W3D3 was today but didn't do it. Bit upset about it but looking forward to continue tomorrow.0
-
did w2d1 last night, it was 99F out at 8:30pm. Ended up fighting a migraine all night, so I'm a bit frustrated...
It's about that plus some humidity here in the hill country of Texas, so I get ya. I found that if I spend the day prehydrating and then stop drinking water about an hour to hour and half before the run then drink water again after I cool down from the run I don't have that dehydration migraine. But the key is def the lead up to the run during the day. You don't want a lot of water in you stomach on a hot day but if it's already in your system you won't flag out quite as bad. Hope that is helpful.0 -
I did W1D3 last night. I missed a few days in between D2 and D3 due to family issues, but I knew that if I don't continue, I'll make excuses and stop. I felt pretty good on D2 and was a little more tired doing D3 which I thought was a bit weird. I'll start week 2 on Wed.
I also want to lose weight while I start running and I know that running won't help completely. Any suggestions on what else I can do with the running. I'm a stay-at-home mom and don't have any time to leave the house to exercise so at home workouts are all I can do. I use a treadmill for the c25k. I have 3lb and 5lb weights. Thanks!0 -

Thanks, I will try that. I thought I had hydrated pretty well but probably not well enough. I will have to wait until Friday to try though, since I cannot risk missing work again.

I am running my first 5k race this Sunday! I finished c25k at the end of April and I can run up to 4 miles now but I'm nervous about the whole race atmosphere! I'm running 3.1 miles in the morning and then 2 miles Friday to be ready for Sunday, I hope I sleep some! Nerves!0

W3D3 done. Good luck afrench!0

Decided to go on to week 6 day 1 this am. I totally get what people are saying about going back to intervals... once I slowed to a walk, it was hard to get motivated to break into a jog again. But I got through the run, no problem.0
-
W1D2 done and dusted. It felt tougher today but I think I jogged at a faster pace as I was much further along the road I ran along the last time when little miss app told me I was half way.

The race atmosphere is the best! Get there early enough to make sure you have parking and to do some kind of warm-up. (I usually walk some and run maybe a slow mile.) The lines for restrooms are usually pretty long. Make sure you are hydrating on Saturday, so that won't be an issue on Sunday. Try not to start out too fast. Wear clothes that you have run in before so there won't be any surprises.

Ceci is right, race atmosphere rocks, especially if you can keep yourself under control at the start. Enjoy it!

YAY!! W5D3 completed!! I can;t believe that I did it and without stopping once! I really wanted to.. but i got into my zone and forced myself back every time my mind would start straying. I won't win any races, have you....but I am good with just getting this program under my belt for now. Race times come later!! Super Stoked!!!0

W3D1 done and I enjoyed it even though the runs are getting more intense.0
-
I'm not even sure how I did it, but instead of doing W1D3 last night I did W1D2 again...such an air head. I'll do W1D3 on Saturday and just have an extra run. Finding it ok, although I have a muscle in my thigh which hurts a bit, but I will stick with this.0
