    W1D2 done. I did great with my first run and even felt great after wards. Tonight I finished the program as I was supposed to but I feel like I have been hit by a truck. How is everyone else doing? I am also doing Jillian Michaels 90 DBR so maybe the soreness from that is contributing to some of my extra fatigue?

    I restarted it again this weekend. Did it on Monday. Was going to do the second workout yesterday but was feeling like crap. My goal is to do the second workout today after work.

    Even if you miss a day and get a bit off schedule remember it is just one day. Pick up where you left off and you will do great!

    question for other runners. It's kind of gross but here goes... When I run I have to spit a lot because the saliva build up is so insane, and my nose gets very snotty also. Is this normal? If not what should I do to correct it?:ohwell:

    1st week, 3rd day into C25k. Now I remember why I used to run--the runner's high that lasts throughout the day!
    Definitely have a tender ankle so I need to adhere to the schedule and not get overzealous and skip rest days.


    Looking for C25k buddies to follow...please feel free to add me!


    80 pounds to lose!

    I repeated W2D1 yesterday; still difficult. I think because I over-stressed my calf muscles (did a step class) and they were burning!! But I am going to move on to d2 tomorrow morning regardless. I have to be ready for June!!!

    I started last week, but I'm repeating W1 this week...I'm 5'6" and weigh about 215 lbs. My feet were pretty achy after W1D3, so I tried lacing my shoes differently (worked like a charm!) and I started my repeat week today. I've been doing an hour of cardio 3 times a week since last fall, so the first week wasn't too bad (except for the achy feet). I'm optimistic and looking forward to following the group's progress through the program! Good luck to all! :)

    W2D2 down! Week 2 is definately harder than week 1 but I'm getting thru it and still have the energy to get on the elliptical after. I'm finding that I'm not really burning many calories with c25k; probably I need to pick up the pace a bit but I'm trying to work myself up there.

    I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep to the schedule next week - I am on vacation for a week to the beach. I"m going to try and get out a couple times while I"m there but I'm not familiar with the area so it'll be hard.

    Doint W2D2 tonight. I've never been a runner and sometimes I blame my parents because I was smoked around pretty well my entire life and it has always felt like I cannot catch my breath. Starting the program was hard but I've really started enjoying it. Luckily my wonderful husband goes with me to keep me company. It is definitely something I have started to look forward to. I see it as a challenge!

    I just printed out the info on c:5k and hope that I can do it. I may just read some posts before I really commit to this. Using message boards and using all of this internet stuff for losing wgt is new to me. I will keep trying. Anything is better than how I have tried to lose wgt and get fit. I think they call it fantasy

    Good for you. Fibro is a rough one. I know a lot of people with it. Be gentle and keep going a little at a time:smile:

    I did W2D3 yesterday morning - Hopefully I can keep it up while on vacation. I'm bringing my gear with me so we'll see! I"m really loving this!!! I look forward to my next run on the rest days! It's just what I needed to get me back on track.

    Hello All!! I am new to C25K and I did W1D1 yesterday. I am 5' 8", 214lbs and thought I was going to hyperventilate towards the end. I just could'nt really catch my breath on the walking parts. I am totally motivated but I really hope this gets easier for me. :ohwell:
