Week 4, day 1 today, and for the first time I couldn't do the complete run. It only happened on the last one, and I didn't give it up completely, just alternated a few jogging paces with a few walking steps. It was hot and humid, so I probably just need to build up my stamina in the Florida heat. Surprisingly, I didn't feel discouraged. I still feel like I had a good run, and I stayed out an hour to do my full 5K and a bit more. Just gotta build myself up.

This actually helped me decide how to handle my goofy schedule this week. I'll be tied up covering an event for three days, which means today and Sunday are the only days I can run (I normally do Tues, Thurs, and Sat). I'll be walking a lot at the event, so I'll do week 4, day 1 again on Sun., then do day 2 twice and day 3 once next week.

Finished W4D1 today... that 5 min is so tough, but am so proud of myself for doing it!

Hey all....

Good job to everyone! Today's run was a short 2.5 mile after weight lifting. Ended up on the dreadmill...but wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (I try to avoid the treadmill). Just had to suck it up...I will run in the rain but won't run in a storm lol.

Anyway....foot is feeling good, body is getting stronger, and I have 2 5Ks coming up next month! Woot! Can't wait. Shooting to break the 32 minute mark.

Well, yesterday was W2D2 for the second time in two weeks. I think I might have been overdoing it. My right hip and left knee have been hurting big time. So instead of doing the biggest loser cardio max work out on my offnight( tonight). I did the Yoga Meltdown. I am looking forward to tomorrow. On Wednesday I usually run inside on the rack. But, I am thinking I will run outside tomorrow. Good luck to all.

Hi everyone! This is my first go at C25K so today was week 1 day 1.
I have done running before normally on a treadmill at the gym, but I have done outside running before years ago.
I want to take part in a 5K in the autumn, but need to find a local one.
I actually ended up doing a longer distance - there's a road that's a mile long by my house so I did the workout and was at the far end of the road so walked the rest of the way back, so it ended up at about 40 minutes.
Is that ok! I mean I'm doing the workout (I've got an app on my iPhone that tells me when to walk and run) so the rest is just extra walking.

W2 D2 done, in danger of tmi I really needed a wee though...lol

W2D2 done! It's warmer and more humid today than it's been, so I did the run a little earlier in the day than I have been. I need to figure out how I'm going to handle it when it gets really hot. It may mean running before my work day starts. My dogs will love it, me not so much.

Congratulations on the W5D3 !!!!!!!!!!!

I do some extra walking almost every session. I like to do the total equivalent of a 5K. Sometimes I even toss in some extra jogging, but I'm careful not to overdo it. Listen to your body and use common sense.

W6d2 finished!! Still can't believe I have stuck with something for this long! Lol! My run went great, I wanted to give up most of the way but I made it threw and I even really picked up my pace in the last minute. I feel great excited for the 22 minutes on Friday.

Well done ! so glad to hear you kicked your own butt again and got back to your running plan. Great work

Thank you!
