    W7D2 was completed on Thursday with husband in tow. We averaged a 11:20/mile.

    W7D3 was completed solo this afternoon. Running with music makes me run faster as I ran at 10:36/mi. Go figure. Here are today's stats.

    W7D3
    Distance: 3.26 mi
    Run Pace: 10:36/mi
    Walk Pace: 14:16/mi
    Cal Burned: 344

    Run on ladies!

    I just read all 10 pgs of your posts. It's awesome to read where you were and were you are now. I'm W2D2. And am surviving. Little hard on my shins though. Hoping that will pass.
    Good work everyone!

    You absolutely can do this. I have never run in my entire life and now I look forward to my 30-ish mintes on the road three times a week. Stick with it - even when you're not sure you can put another foot in front of another. You absolutely can make it to the end. You'll find what works best for you. Good Luck!!!

    Week 7 Day 2 finished with difficulty! I haven't been feeling very good, likely due to all the crap I've been eating. Then I got a huge allergy attack! I finished, but I'm still sneezing 7 hours later! :(

    Didnt really feel like being in the cold so did Week 7 except for one day on my Wii. Today I started week 8 but I modified it since I am way slower that you guys I ran for distance instead of time. So I ran 2 miles in 32 min about a 16:00 min mile pace. So now I know where I need to be to complete my goal for My race in March.

    Week 8 Day 1 - WEEK EIGHT!

    I will be the first to tell you that I never thought in 8 weeks I would be running 28 minutes straight! Hubby went with me again today. Stats below:

    W8D1
    Distance: 3.35 mi
    Run Pace: 10:23/mi
    Walk Pace: 15:04/mi - it is warm up and cool down - right?
    Cal Burned: 340

    How are you guys in the U.S. planning your runs around the holidays?

    Early morning run, went well. My first 28 minute run. I tried to run a bit faster, but only held up for about 8 minutes doing that. Week 8 Day 1 down!

    Week 8 was completed on Christmas Eve Eve - although after the severe consumption over the last two days, I should have run at least once this weekend. Oh, well. It doesn't happen every day - right?

    Here's the stats for W8D3.

    W8D3
    Distance: 3.62 miles
    Run Speed: 10:13/mi
    Walk Speed: 14:51/mi
    Cal Burned: 373

    I plan to do measurements at the end of next week. Good luck in week 9 for all of you who are chugging right along. Merry Christmas to you all!

    Finally ran for 30 minutes and my new pedometer says I only ran 2.3 miles! I am gonna run 35 minutes Wednesday and 40 minutes Friday. That should get me to 3.1 miles.....Good grief!

    W9D1 Complete. I still cannot believe I'm on week 9. Dexter_Dexte I will post final measurements on Friday or Saturday - will that work? Stats below. No improvement over W8D3.

    W9D1
    Distance: 3.62 miles
    Run Pace: 10:25/mi
    Walk Pace: 13:57/mi - this is a huge improvement in the walking!
    Cal Burned: 372

    I really had to push through today. When I take 3 days off instead of 2 days off I struggle a bit and can tell how tired my legs are by the end of the run.
