    Week 6 Day 1 done. Only one more day of intervals and then just full runs from then on. Stopping and starting today was almost harder than the 20 min run. I felt like I was just hitting my stride when it told me to start walking. Wow. In 2 weeks I will be running 30 mins!

    Just realized I have to start getting up earlier to fit my run in starting week 6. Guess I'm getting up at 5 now.

    It's family day in BC, so I dont' have to work tomorrow, but I'll get up and run anyway.

    that's so true. It so pisses me off when my shoelace gets loose and i have to stop. Completely ruins my momentum, especially when it's during my fast runs. I also feel more tired, like i have to work harder to go from a full stop to running again.

    Finished w7d3 today. Nice sunny day. It was 28 f, but I completely over dressed. We have a heat wave coming the next few weeks, so I'm going to have to drop the outer layer.

    W5D2 complete. I got thru the 8 min runs. The 2nd one was tough but I think it was because I upped my speed a little the first 8. I got through it though and didn't stop even though I was tempted. Nervous for the next workout

    You'll knock it out of the park.

    Ok I almost procrastinated myself out of running tonight... I did get W6D2 done tonight! I started at 9:49pm and it wasn't great... but it's in the books now. Unfortunately, so are the intervals!

    I like it when the intervals go away. Less to have to worry about. You can just run.

    Did W2D2 at 5 this morning. I'm still amazed I can run for 90 seconds. Also glad I live in a warm climate so morning runs aren't too difficult.

    You'll do great. Just remember not to rush too fast when you start out. Steady even pace will get you through! Good luck!

    Way to get it done! Sometimes I think it is almost easier without the intervals. The starting and stopping is more tempting for me not to start again! LOL

    I am headed out shortly for W7D1. It is sunny and 34F. I am hoping for no wind.

    Wow! You are progressing quickly through the weeks! Way to stick to it.

    w7d1 complete on my lunch break. The way work is going, I would rather go out and run another session! Not a great day here. Here's to better tomorrows...
