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

Run on ladies!0 -
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!!!0 -
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!0

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 is over! My goal this week is not only to run for 30 minutes, but to truly run 3.1 miles!0

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

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!0 -
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!0

Well ladies it has been a great challenge I'm still looking forward to end this thread in very conclusive manner showing how much this challenge has helped in achieving your goals for that matter I need a lil more participation on posting before and after measurements
I hope I can find out such dedicated team pals when I resume my workouts post partum. I'll invite u guys again next year because I know u guys are dedicated0 -
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.

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.0
