Just completed W2D1. I am so glad that I went this morning, rather than waiting for this afternoon........it's going to be 96 for a high temp here today!

I felt great most of the time............every once in awhile I had pain in my shins, so I just slowed it down and it went away. Bring on day 2 on Wednesday!

    I live in northern Illinois. Actually, we are going to be warmer than Memphis for the next 2 days!

    I also find that when I go first thing in the morning I have more energy throughout the rest of the day..........whereas if I put it off until the evening I might be more apt to skip out on a run because I'm too tired.

    I have been going on a bike ride with my kids on my off days. I never was one that was all that into exercising, but I'm finding that I am enjoying it immensely!

    I was a little nervous as well, but I put on some tunes to keep me pumped and that helped make it almost easy! Good luck to you tomorrow!

    Well done!! Whenever I tried to run on the treadmill before I found that I focused too much on the timer on the console.......which made the time seem so much longer.

    Great job on completing W2D1. I get to do W2D2 tomorrow morning bright and early before mother nature kicks on the heater. LOL Looking foward to tomorrow.

    Managed the running time, albeit slow pace, but still well within the average interval time, but found my walking suffered, most of them were over the average interval time.

    The little extra running time was not too bad. The first couple intervals are the toughest even after the 5 min warm up. Then after the muscles warmed up the rest of the intervals seemed to go quite smoothly.

    Got up at 5 am this morning (when it is cool outside :smile:) and did my Week 2 - Day 2 walk/jog. I felt so good afterwards I ran an extra 1/2 mile and I ran it at 4 mins, 30 secs. It was a beautiful morning.

    Great job everyone keepin' at it.

    Here's to a great day.
