    W3D2 done. I actually got a PB for time and distance with this run too, so i'm feeling a little bit proud. I also ran a bit further once it had finished because I still had a way to get home, just to see if I could. :smile:

    Week 7/Day 1 done! Including the 5 minute warm-up, 25 minute run, and 5 minute cool-down, I covered 3 miles. So feeling a little bit better about my 5K on 8/1 :)

    Completed w4d2 today. I love how I feel when I complete the run. Averaged just under a 17 minute mile which I am happy about. When I started I was about 20.

    I did it! W7d2 is done! 2.5 miles in 30 mins. I kept adjusting my speed between 4.7 and 4.8. I'm pleased with that. I've noticed that I'm comfortable with the first 1.5 miles. The last mile is challenging. This is where it gets mental. But I did it. I've had a sinus headache all week so I haven't run since Monday. I want this really bad. Every time I compete a run it makes me realize that I'm a "runner" and that I'm really doing this. This program really works!

    Good job! I've made every run a 5k ( including the w/u and c/d) starting with w6. It's actually fun to see my times and compete against myself. It was also a way for my body to get used to the distance.

    Woke up early to do W2D2 this morning. Back in doors because it's storming outside, but I think I'm going to try outside for the most part from here on out. It's easier to start and stop jogging. I'm definitely running super slow, but I'm just happy I'm jogging. =)

    Wow! You are rocking this. Are you running everyday? I want to increase my runs to 6 days a week.

    My weekly fitness routine is still a work in progress, but right now I'm jogging first thing in the morning 5 times/week. The other 2 mornings (Wed, Sun) I do the elliptical for cross training (Wed) or "Gentle Hatha" yoga (Sunday, my "rest day"). In the evening, I lift weights with a trainer 2 nights/week and go to a "Vinyasa Flow" yoga class 1 night/week. I'm trying to find a balance between effective cross training while avoiding over-training (especially since I'm in my late 30s and not a great athlete). I'm working on developing more fitness-based goals so I focus on being healthy and strong rather than the number on the scale. I've signed up for a few 5Ks in August, a few 10Ks in Sept/Oct, and a half marathon in November :) Sorry, I know this is probably TMI....I'm not sure why I'm writing all this. LOL!

    W3D1 done. I'm 95% sure I've never run for 3 consecutive minutes before in my life, and I just did that... twice! Ran very slowly because of the heat (slept later than I intended, so it was hotter than I wanted), but I still finished.

    Slow and steady wins the race, right? B) I feel like I can walk faster than I'm running sometimes, but you know what? We're still running! And that's what matters.

    Finished W5D1 this morning. I honestly thought I'd be redoing week 4 a couple of times before even attempting week 5 but I figured all I can do is try it and I actually finished it no problem! I'm doing it on the treadmill but plan on taking it outside soon, even if I have to start over from day one.
