    Wednesday 23rd – 8:30 AM C25k Week 1 (DONE) + Mid Jari Love 30 mins (DONE) + 3 – 4 PM 46 mins walk/jog intervals (DONE)

    I would have successfully jogged/walked/sprinted 15 miles today,I don't think I've ever done this consistently so I'm really feeling it,especially on strength training/circuit days,hmm contemplating on whether to cut it down to 3-4 times a week instead of this 6,but will see,next week I'm hitting the weights a little harder,by adding weighted squats,I wonder if this will strenghen my legs to continue running or make them so jelly I have to run less,waiting to see...lol

    I think in the long run it will strengthen your legs but if you are planning on running after you do the weighted squats its hard. Like when I do my interval training/squats/lunges. I always run before I do all the lunges and squats becaue if I had to run after doing the lunges/squats there is no way. my legs are most def jello...but i think if you just ran before doing the squats it will most def work :o) and just do what you can and feel like doing. doing two a days 3-4 times a week is still a challenge :o)

    Alright,I'll cut off my morning C25K run in the morning and limit it to 3 times a week,from next week onwards like I should be doing,I have been hitting it everyday since Monday but its only week 1 so its not too bad,its when the runs get longer I know it will get hard,and I already run on an incline aswell,thanks for the advice,yeah cardio before weights does make sense! :D

    Oh and yeah if I feel,I will cut it to 3-4 times,it just depends on how much rest I get tonight,my neighbours are not the quietest lol,late night comedy show watching,although I love to hear laughter,I don't enjoy it when I'm tucked into bed soundly and its blasting away on the other side of the wall....[minirant] /;

    Hey All!

    So I REALLY didn't want to get up today.... but I pushed myself out of bed. I walked out of my buliding at 5:59 to get the 6:00 am bus and realised I didn't have my purse, had to run back inside to grab it, came running out the door just as the bus was pulling up, then my backpack exploded, spilling my stuff in the middle of the road LOL. Thankfully the bus driver waited for me to grab my stuff, but I guess he had to since I was on the street blocking his way!

    Then I got to the gym, opened up my backpack and realised I didn't bring my running shoes!!! We had a stupid snowstorm here in Toronto yesterday and so I was wearing my massive artic-style snow boots- no way I could exercise in them. I sat down and actually considered going to the office and sleeping at my desk for an hour. I ended up going to the front desk to see if there was any shoes in the lost and found that would fit me.... so I wore someone's lost shoes and had a decent workout!

    LOL- I feel like it's been a long day already!

    LOL thanks! Yeah it took a bit of courage to ask the girl at the desk but thankfully she is super-friendly and she said said ppl do that all the time :) Still tho... not the most sanitary experience lmao.

    I've been trying to get an overnight locker at the gym, but they only allow a certain number of them since there is limited space :( Altho I'm number two on the waiting list yahoo!
