    w5d2 done- 2 8 minute runs with a 5 minute walk in between.

    I'll probably repeat this until I can figure out why my calves are so tight after about 5 minutes of running. Had to stop during the walking and stretch them out again.

    Week 8, run 3 completed last night.

    We went out later in the evening, it was still so hot though. It was a hard run, lots of inclines. However, with great encouragement from my husband I powered on through and completed it without stopping.

    I'm still plugging along. Yesterday I completed W6D2- 2 10 minute runs with a 3 minute walk in between. I'm still having the issue with tight calves. I started out with a longer warm up walk and stretch, and also had to stop and stretch during the 3 minute walk interval.

    Did W7D1 on Friday, running 25 minutes straight (almost 2 miles.)

    Finished W7D2 today after a long weekend of nothing due to some weird back injury on Saturday.

    Great to see you back @Just_Ceci -- I haven't been on the threads much recently, but saw a name I recognized on my thread notifications and wanted to give you a shout out! Almost to the C25K finish line! :smile:

    Thanks! Trying to get back to where I was a few years and 2 surgeries ago.

    I took off last week to visit family in Texas. The only running I did was after the grandkids.

    Back at it today with Week 9, Day 1- 30 minute run (2.25 miles). It was hard, but I did it!
