    Was doing w2d3 yesterday when, in the 5th interval, decided to take a shortcut between paths. I tripped over a tree root and face planted in the dirt. Bloody and sore, I walked back to the car. After assessing the damage (scrapes and bruises ALL over), I went back out last night and did the run again at the high school track. No stupid tree root is going to mess up my program!

    So... I have been struggling to find time to run... I've only logged 2 runs this month so far this month :( I made up my mind to go at lunch today and did it...... it wasn't great but I was out there.... I completed 2.25 miles total (2mi run work part) W4D3! Will see what Thursday brings....... I'm thinking a repeat of W4.. I was on W6 on the treadmill...

    Good job everyone!

    I did w6d1 today. It was one of those workouts where I was struggling to get through it, wasn't enjoying it and felt "off" all around. I completed it, though, and am glad that I did. Some days are just better than others!

    Today was not a run day, but found myself at the track at the end of the day trying to get my steps and Misfit points in. I was pressed for time, so I was hurrying. I hurried so much that I set a new PR for a 5k, 3.1 miles in 42:03, all walking. That crushed my old record by A LOT!

    W6D1 completed, went well. Starting to wish I was faster, but I know this process is about endurance and not speed.

    @MimiOfTheLusciousLawn That is some fast walking! Wow! Go you!

    Just about to start w5d1. This is the week I've been nervous about approaching. However, now that I'm here I realize every week is the hardest thing I've ever done until it gets harder and then looking back it doesn't seem so bad anymore. I can't wait to be looking back on w5!

    YES!! Great insight! Someone said "trust the program" - I'm learning that, too!

    Finished W3D2 this morning. Feeling better more confident this week than I did last week. Decided not to look ahead at next week though so that I don't talk myself out of it.

    I second this. I looked ahead for week 5 as people were talking about it and it definitely affected my attitude. I like going into the workouts with confidence and since I'm still so new to it, it's easy for my to psych myself out.

    Slow down and keep telling yourself you can do it, and you will!

    I finished week 3 yesterday. I'm actually starting to like this whole running malarkey :). I'm almost a little sad to have a couple of days off :p, scared of the 5 minute run coming up though...

    I too just finished week 6 day 2. I wasn't really into it, but managed to complete without issue. I just felt really blah. I have 5k fun run at night on Saturday so I may do the third day then and spice it up a bit...
