    @shmmm3 If you are going plant based for a while, consider taking a Vit B 12 supplement. I suggest you read about it rather than take my advice of course.

    @jspecies11 Thank you for the recommendation. I started taking a multivitamin to be safe since I do not know what I'm doing yet. I appreciate any and all advice about plant-based eating. Have you been doing it for awhile?

    @GirlOnTheRebound I have told this neighbor many times that we don’t eat flour or sugar including most fruit. She brought 10 oranges, dates, figs, and calamansi - all loaded with sugar as well as crackers, pretzels and cookies! I much preferred when she brought eggs and peanut butter! The bag of food is going to our daughter’s school to be placed in the teachers’ lounge.

    Goodness! Very happy you have found a way to pay it forward.

    As I prepare to go for my run, I realized that with the new "week" of training (Week 3 Day 1 today) the training has upped.

    Warmup (I skip as I warmed up with bodyweight workout) 1.5 min run, 1.5 min walk, 3 min run, 3 min walk, 1.5 min run, 1.5 min walk, 3 min run, 5 min cooldown.

    THREE MINUTES?!?!?! I was struggling with 1.5! I'm really dreading this already but I best get going so I don't miss my work call in a short bit. Ugh. No dogs as BF isn't awake to take one and I can't take both while running.

    @CamandJarvis I did C25K a few years ago and found the schedule I was using (and others I looked at) progressed much to quickly for me. So I often repeated weeks or made my own in-between weeks. I also read a lot about half- and full marathon training, and one of well known marathon coaches (I think Hal Higden or something like that) encouraged the continuing use of intervals regardless of distance and experience. I came to love my “wuns” —and I had never liked running before — and I’m sure it was because I didn’t push too hard. I eventually ran several 5Ks, a 10k, and a half marathon using walk 1 minute, run 2-3 minutes, depending on how it was going. My times weren’t lightning fast, but I was in the top half of the pack for my age group, so respectable. All of which is to say don’t feel bound to someone else’s training schedule. Give your body and mind time to adjust to what YOU need.

    Another thing I found REALLY helpful—I got an inexpensive interval timer that clipped on. There are probably apps, too, but I like the little dedicated gadget. It beeps when you’re due to change speeds so you don’t have to keep looking at your phone or watch. I also found the running easier when I didn’t know how many seconds I had left!

    I’m planning to start “wunning” again, probably in late April. I’m building walking time and distance right now.

    Anyway, good luck! It does get to be fun!

    I also did the C25K a couple of years ago, it was during late 2020/1 I think? Definitely during Covid. A fellow poster in this challenge (sorry I can't remember who it was - my memory is not as good as it was - I put it down to age !!) said that she was going to do it and anyone was welcome to join her virtually. Rashly (cuz I hate running) I said I would, slept on it, realised that I had opened my mouth without thinking and decided I would tell her that I had changed my mind. Well, before I posted that change of heart I read her next day post saying how pleased she was I was doing it too and that we would be support for each other, how could I let her down then? So I started it; if you use the actual free App whilst doing each days work out, it tells you how long to walk for a warm up, how long each interval of walks and runs/jogs are and then talks you through the cool down. There were several days/weeks that I had to repeat because they were too hard/too much of a jump in running duration. But I did complete the 5K at the end, I was elated, but I still hated running, so once I'd achieved that 5K I stopped running!!

    If that person who I was virtually running with is still in the group, I do not mean to offend you, it was truly an achievement for me, but also not one I wish to repeat lol!! :D

    Scratched of your bucket list lol. I feel the same about planks. I tried it. I hated it. I stopped. Maybe one day I will revisit.
