    Well thats Week 7 completed....even managed an extra 90 seconds......I really have to say to folks..dont give up.....week 7 looks really bad as its 5mins brisk walk and 25mins jog but by the time you have completed all the other weeks you will really be suprised at how easy week 7 is...now roll on week 8....only 6 more sessions to complete.... ;-)

    Hi everyone! I finished week 4 today. I feel stronger with every run. Starting week 5 on Friday and for the first time I"m not petrified. I think because its still a 5 minute run,which I now know I can do, its not as scary. Everyone is doing awesome!! I love reading the process.

    I'm still on week 1. Is anyone else feeling a pain in their shins when running? It's different from a burn.

    had this a lot at first. You need to build up your calf muscles and stuff around your shins. Also make sure you stretch them out. I have found the best way to do this is get into downward dog then alternate bending one knee and pressing the other heel into the ground. That helped me quite a bit. Hope it helps you.

    Good job. Getting started was the hardest for me. Patience is also hard, but stick with it. I am amazed how far I have come over the last 6 - 8 weeks.

    I'm doing it! On week 2 right now. I kind of did day 1 yesterday. I say "kind of" because it was killing me (I'm very out of shape) so I shortened a couple of the 1.5 minute runs to 1.2 minutes.

    I plan to do the Pretty Muddy run in Chicago on Sept 7. :happy:
