    I wish it was done for me. Still got a sinus infection, though I am recovering. Gonna rest again today and hoping I can run tomorrow or Sunday, so that I'm not too far behind. Good job ladies!

    i hope u get well soon

    I find a netti pot helps a lot with sinus infections (although a little gross). Feel better!

    Week 3 Day 1 Done! I was so scared to try to run @ 7.0 for 3 mins but I DID IT!

    After I finished C25K, I did jogging/walking intervals for 25 mins. I was able to run at 7.5 & 8.0 for 90 secs each and 8.5 & 9.0 for 60 secs each! I was soooo shocked that I was able to accomplish that. :bigsmile:

    Week 3 complete! The weather was crappy this week so today was the only chance I got to run outside. I was a little tentative about doing all 3 runs on one day but I decided to give it a shot. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

    I'd love to join this challenge. I just started the c10k w/ the end goal of running a half marathon. My 2 day of running this program is tomorrow. I can run 20min, but i wanted to start at the begining. I just joined a local running group called the Pasadena Pacers too.

    Week 4 starts tomorrow! Runs are getting longer, but so far they're not too bad.

    W4D1 complete. I seriously thought my legs would give out on me on that last 5 min run, but surprise, surprise - they didn't. I did try to pace myself, backing off my previous run pace of about 9:50/mi so that I could be sure to run the whole time. Maybe by the end of the week I'll have a better time.

    Here's details on my run:

    Distance: 2.6 mi
    Walk Pace: 14:48/mi
    Run Pace: 10:18/mi
    Calories: 268

    Does anyone want to make a pact to exercise on Turkey Day?

    Finally got out and did Day 3 of Week 3! I was afraid that being sick would really set me back and maybe I'd have to redo week 3, but I felt good. I even felt like maybe I could have run 2 more minutes! So I'm planning on continuing on to week 4 later this week. So glad I'm back on track!

    sonyachan I am glad you are feeling better. Sounds like a couple of rest days have done you good :smile:

    With my Husband doing afternoons this week I probably won't be able to get to do my runs outside. I did'nt make it to the gym yesterday, TTOM giving me grief but even though I woke up with a headache this morning I was determined to workout and do W4D1 on the treadmill at the gym. I was quite relieved that it was not as bad as I was thinking it would be, did the 5min runs quite easily!! Even ran a bit extra to get up to 4.5km :happy:

    I would but it might be cheating seeing as I'm in Australia and we don't actually celebrate Thanksgiving :laugh:

    ok guys! u might be noticing that i log in and leave a one-liner, without telling what I am upto!

    Actually this challenge was supposed to be started on Oct 31, and on 1Nov I got my pregnancy report and it was positive. I have conceived for the very first time after 4.5 years of TTC.

    During all these years i was not working out esp after ovulation days with the apprehension of what if I lose if i have conceived. and i gained 10kgs in this period. this September i promised my self that ill workout no matter what happens, because this time my Internist was telling that all this stress can be manged with working out.

    I started a 3 months challenge for myself before going for IVF, during the 1st month i got myself used to working out again and due to knee pains i did Pilates,yoga and leslie sansones walk away the pounds and I worked out 22days and by the end i was able to workout for 60mins then.

    then i set this challenge Jillian micheals Killer buns and thighs and C25K on alternate days. This C25K was a sub-challenge actually but just 1 buddy joined me on JMKBnT and almost 15 people joined this C25K challenge.

    I was very confused what to do? then i decided ill not disclose it till the challenge ends, so that u guys keep on doing your workouts, So i tried my best to keep this thread working.

    Now most of u guys r doing so great and almost halfway through it. Keep doing this.

    I still want to end this thread by the new year in very conclusive way. i would like that u guys post in weight and inches lost in the last week of C25K.

    W4D2 Complete today. It was easier than day 1 this week, but still tough at the end. I think I'm going to repeat this tomorrow as my work out. Stats below:

    Distance: 2.66mi (most yet)
    Walk Pace: 14:13/mi
    Run Pace: 10:11/mi (faster than W4D1, but still slower than the other weeks)
    Calories Burned: 266

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

    It wasn't much of a workout today, but it was something - a 40 min walk with the dogs. I came home from Thanksgiving lunch with the start of the migraine so it was all I could really manage today. It was something though.

    Week 4 Day 1 down! Had my own Turkey Trot today. :) My phone and my app were driving me crazy, so I ended up doing a couple extra short runs. So ended up running about 18 minutes. Can't believe the difference in calories burned with more minutes running! Also can't believe I can now jog for 5 minutes! We are doing aren't we girls?! :)
