    Hopefully will get W3D3 done today...was pouring rain this morning. I may have to go to the gym if the rain doesn't stop. Does anyone know if the C%K app tracks your time and mileage on a treadmill???

    W3D3 is done and in good time...however the pain in my shins is getting a little crazy..I could do sooo much better if it wasn't for that problem. I'm very frustrated but I'm gonna keep going. I think I'm gonna try another pair of shoes. UGH

    Great job! My phone messes up everytime! But I know I did not do 5 mins. I am going to try it again today since yesterday was mostly a brisk walk.

    Good Morning Lady P's,

    Sorry for the few days of silence, but Hubby and I are in sunny Florida celebrating our wedding anniversary. I did, however wanted to report I completed W4/D1 on Monday, W4/D2 on Friday, and dressed for my W4/D3 run this morning.

    I read thru everyone's comments and commend each of you for your commitment to this challenge!! You ALL inspire me to get up and do something, even while on vacation. Lol!!

    Thank You and have a lovely Sunday!!!

    W4D3 done yesterday...my best time/distance/pace SWEEEETTT!!! Today I ran 3.03 miles for 44 min WHAT WHAT??? Yes I did...It's like a little goal I make for myself every week, something to accomplish. I found a park nearby that has a 1.6 mile loop and for whatever freaky reason..i challenged myself to run it twice and that's what I did. I ran the first loop stopped for 2 min to stretch and ran it again. HOWEVER,...am i doing too much too soon?

    So proud that of everyone here!! LOVE to all of you...you are truly my inspiration

    Did W5 D1 at lunch today... YIKES!!!! What a killer... had to jog slower so I can get all 3 of the 5 minutes done... had an awful stich on the 2nd 5 min... but managed to get it done. I am glad I ended up doing it during my lunch as I am now beat... and Monday nights is normally a rush for me. Hockey season is just around the corner for 2 of my boys so I will have to try and get my workouts done first thing in the morning... just wish I was a morning person!!!

    You guys are all doing great!!! WTG!!!

    Hey guys! Things have been CRAZY for me since I completed W5 D2 I haven't had the chance to complete it. I planned on doing it last night and one thing after the other I didn't do it. And tonight my son has a dentist appt and we are taking him out for supper so I don't think I will have a chance to do it again today. My question is do I continue or should I stop and start all over when I do have the chance to?
