    Week 5 Day 2 done! Ran on the treadmill for the first time, I found it easier on the knees but a bit boring. I was really intimidated by the prospect of doing two 8 min runs, but on the second run I kept going to 10 mins! Feeling much more confident about Week 5 Day 3 now :happy:

    W5D2 done. It's been pouring rain, and I have no treadmill. The old me would have said "Grand!" and cancelled running today. The new, almost unrecognisable to me, me said, "I'll have to improvise!", so I ran laps in the house!! Who would have thunkit!! Great programme, and great encouragement from all here :). To everyone starting, or thinking of starting, it works, and I had a pretty hardcore case of hating running!

    I did my W1D3 yesterday and I will be going to W2D1 tomorrow. All of this is on the treadmill but the emparssing part is a supervisor from work (he's not my supervisor) noticed a few days ago. Now he wants me to start looking into 5k races.

    c25k week 2 day 1. So I've hit a bump. I went out today for my run walk training and it was 25F out but I layered up and went. I made it more than 2/3rds of the way and then when I was jogging up an extremely steep hill my calve just shoot a pain I stopped immediately and stretched it out and then started walking home. I think I might of over extended it on the incline I'm not sure I made it home fine and its a little sore but not that bad. Also I wanted to add I stretch before and after each run. Do you think it is safe to do w2d1 again on Saturday?

    I would just write it off as a bad run and keep going. We all have those days. Make sure you are hydrated. And I am impressed that you went out at all in that kind of weather--I am a wimp and am firmly attached to the treadmill until it is warm out!

    I had a crap run last night, too, but it was because my 4 year old wouldn't cooperate and ride his scooter while I ran. So I ended up just doing the elliptical after the monsters were in bed. I did the 30 min week 9 run on the treadmill on Monday, though!! Still super proud even though I am snails' pace slow. I will be writing my graduation post soon!!!!

    Oh just some reeboks , my last pair were Adidas. No idea on what "model" sorry. Just go for whatever is good value, feel light and have a good bounce in the sole
