    Yesterday was supposed to w1d3, however my app was accidentally placed on w2d1, so I skipped ahead a day without knowing until I was finished. So I guess I'll have to back track when I run tomorrow.

    W5D2 completed today. Ready for that 20 minute challenge set for Friday.
    Best of luck to you guys who are facing the 20 minutes themselves. You all can do it!

    All of you are so committed, and I'm loving it!!! Congrats to those who are giving it all you've got!!

    I just completed W6D2. I discovered today that I really need to work on my time. I'm not "running" very fast at all. I'm looking forward to completing this training so that I can work on reducing the time it takes me to run a mile.

    C25K, W6D3 - 25 min jog with no walk. Felt great on a beautiful Colorado morning after a night of rain!

    Laughter_Girl, just want to let you know you're not alone in how you feel your rate is slower than the program suggestions.

    On my W5D3, it was like run 20 min or 2 miles... Yeah, right! I found that I completed only 1 and 3/8ths of a mile... Not exactly speedy. Like you, I want to focus on how to improve my time, but right now, I seem only to manage to just focus on finishing. Maybe if I continue to have success dropping weight, that I'll be able to move my body faster later.

    Good luck to you and be proud of what you're accomplishing!

    Since I accidentally skipped w1d3 the other day. I backtracked and did it today. Felt awesome and had negative splits. 12:42 average. 2.33 miles.

    Finished W5D3 20 minute jog today. It felt awesome to complete it! Thankful that the weather held up, too.
    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Completed W6D3 yesterday. It started to drizzle a bit, and the old me would have high-tailed it back home. But the new me did not. I put my hood on and prayed that it wouldn't actually begin raining hard. Thankfully, God answered my prayer. :smile:

    TerryEden, sounds like your moving faster than me. You go!!! I definitely plan to work on my speed. My first 5K is not until Sept so I have time.

    Wishing my fellow runners all the best next week!

    Even though I've only been doing the program for 2 weeks, I finished another 5k today. Like I said before I'm not new to running, just needed a program to follow for a kick in the butt. I had a pretty good race, average pace was 11:35. Total time was 35:53. I'm doing a challenge on MFP that starts Monday and is 12 weeks long. I have set a goal to get my 5k time at or under 32 minutes. My best ever is 32:09.

    I completed W7D1, and I feel good too! I calculated my time, and it takes me 17 minutes to run a mile. I've definitely got to work on my time, but I'm actually quite pleased with myself.

    new week- finished W6D1!

    Way to go!! I'm supposed to be doing w2d2 today, but we have heavy thunderstorms in store for us. I really hate the treadmill, but may have to do it.

    I just finished W5D2. It felt Ok. Not as good as I do with morning runs, but that is alright. I completed it. Wednesday will be my 20 min run. I am feeling confident. On W5D1 I ran for 13 min straight and it felt good. It started to rain pretty heavy that day during my run so I didn't walk in between my runs.

    Started C25K this morning. What can I say, it was not bad, started off really good, but towards the end all I wanted to hear was start a brisk walk now.

    I was a lot faster at the beginning, towards the end I was a lot slower. Guess over time, this change.

    Congrats to those working so hard! I hope you all are falling in love with running -well, jogging- like I am. I never would have thought it. :smile:

    W7D2 is complete. I'm really looking forward to preparing for my 1st 5K. I'm planning to kick booty!

    Wow! Congrats on your first 5K! I'm still not there yet but I would like to one day!
    & I agree, I'm really starting to appreciate jogging more. I love that 'me' time during the morning jog.
    Finished W6D2 today.

    W6D3 completed and then some, felt good at 25mins so kept going to run the full 30mins, yeah me!!! I am desperately slow but if you had told me 4 weeks ago I would have just done 30mins non-stop, I would have laughed in your face. So happy!!! Now I need to try and do it in less than 40 mins......

    I just completed W5D3. It felt good. Once I got into my rhythm it seemed to go fine. I knew I could run more so I ran the whole 5 min cool down and then did a 6 min cool down. I feel very accomplished and excited to continue on with the program!

    Congratulations to all of you, too. Yay to all of us for our perseverance and determination!!!!
