    Thanks!

    One week left! I finished up week 8 last Friday - starting week 9 today. It's about 32 degrees out and it rained all day yesterday so hopefully I won't hit any ice when I cross the roads.

    I'm actually finding that I like running in the cold as long as it's not too windy.

    Finished Week 9 day 1 yesterday, and day 2 today.

    I can't believe only 1 run left! I am not very fast, but I'm getting farther every run.

    Today I finished the 30 minutes and passed yesterday's end point with a full minute to spare. Then after walking for about 2 minutes I started jogging again and finished the 5k in just over 39 minutes.

    Certainly not a speedy time for an experienced runner - but it's a personal best for me.

    Week 3 Day 3 today. I had planned on doing this one on Sunday but I ended up going on a bike ride with my daughter.

    Not bad - I'm making it through all the runs and usually adding a bit at the end. I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to do the 5 minute runs in week 4, but holy peaches I can't imagine going much longer than that!

    Hopefully in a month or two I'll be able to look back at this post and say - I DID IT!

    I DID IT!

    Week 9 Day 3 is officially done. It's hard to believe that just a month and a half ago I was stressing over a 5 minute run, and today I did 30, plus added some more at the end to finish up the 5k.
