Time to get this party started!! My fire blew out for a little while but I'm BACK and ready to rumble! Who's with me?!

I started Week 3 this week! I didn't think I'd be able to but I DID it; I ran 9 minutes total (my best EVER!) and walked for 15 (ish) minutes, for a total of 303 calories burned :) This is going to be a great week!

    I'm still on week 4. Its killin' me, but I'm going to keep at it. It feels just as hard this week as it did last week. But, I guess that's what makes it challenging...the fact that its not easy, right?

    Anyway, I'm trying to keep my energy high and my food clean this week. I had a birthday this weekend, and I lived it up a little, so now its time to get back to the straight and narrow.

    And WELCOME BACK HALEY!

    I'm doing wk4 d3 later this evening. Don't know how I'm going to manage 20 mins on Wednesday, I might have to give w4 a couple more tries.

    I will do W4D2 when I get home tonight. I ran 10 minutes total with a 90 second break around the eight minute mark last night. I didnt even log it, just wanted to see how long I could run. :-)

    Ready to finish LOL

    I've done W5 D3 today - woohoo! It was tough going and there were points where my pace really dipped but I finished it and felt good. I think it's as much of a mental hurdle to overcome as a physical one - this is THE day we all dread and feel we have to get past. Onwards and upwards from here!

    Completed W4D2 last night and boy does EVERYTHING ache today LOL

    4,416 steps, 146 calories burned, 1.79 miles in 32 minutes.


    I found a great webiste with decent music on the podcast that I am using now. Made things a lot better than before when I was only using the Cto5K app on my phone.

    Well I knew everybody would catch up to me when I was at W3D3 and some have gone running past me. Great job everyone. I have been having issues with my knees and not been running at all for a couple of weeks. Yesterday I decided I want to get back into it and did W1D1 again. I am going to try W2D2 next and see how that goes.

    I'm still slogging through week 4. Man! It doesn't feel any easier the second week in a row. I don't know if I feel like doing week 4 a 3rd week in a row, but I cannot get through that second 5 minute run. Its a killer. A killer I tell you!

    But, I always quit this program...I can't tell you how many times I've started it. But I'm determined to get to the end of this program...genetics be damned. Even if I get to the end of week 9 and never run again.

    Well done everyone, keep it up!

    I did W6 D1 today and it was pretty good. We've registered for our first 5k next Sunday so that's my goal now, not bothered about time but I am determined to finish and to run the whole thing, however slowly!

    W4D3 of Cto5K completed!!! 4,375 steps, 140 calories burned, 1.72 miles. I thought I would increase speed and time but ended up with less. Gotta work on that. The last 5 minute jog is a BEAST! But I did it!!! On to Week 5 on Monday.

    W6 D2 here today, but I actually pretty much did the D3 routine of one solid run as I felt up for it. Lots of uphill and it was raining pretty hard too but I did it and felt good. Bring on the first 5k race next weekend!

    glad to see some of us are still going strong! i completed my W5D3 run a few days ago and i seem to be getting a late start here on week 6! will probably do my W6D1 run either tomorrow or thursday. which will put me on a more un-even schedule. but hey, if the runs get done that's what counts, right?!

    keep up the awesome work everyone!! :)

    woop woooop!
