I am in! 75 miles for me!

Returned this evening from a business trip and managed a 2.5 mile run on the treadmill in the hotel! Finished out the month over my new target! Bring on October!

I finished W8D2 on Thursday morning on the treadmill. It is easier than outside and I was able to go for 35 minutes. I could see my pace and realized that I am actually running faster outside (maybe that is why it was easier!). I will do D3 this weekend but since I am consistently over 30 mintues for the last 3 runs, I…

Check out pilates as it is great for your core. There are a couple of free apps available too!

Came home a little early tonight in order to get W8D1 in before my pilates class. It was a success and I was able to go for 34 minutes instead of 28! Yeah me! I was slower than Sunday but I don't mind too much. I am really running!!! I will try the treadmill for the first time on Thursday. Let's see how that goes. :huh:…

C25k W8D1 today and went a little longer!!! Finished 2.8 miles. Ticker updated. Good luck to everyone for the last couple of days! You can make your goal!

Thanks for the tips! I am going to Germany and not too hopeful about the weather! I already checked and there is a treadmill that I will be using on Thursday morning as I scheduled my meetings with this work out in mind. It is amazing how one´s mindset can change about things like this. I am working my schedule around the…

Keep up the great work!!! You are doing awesome!

WOO HOO !!!! Congrats on a awesome day!

Big Congrats!!!

Just finished W7D3 and it went sooo much better than D1! I was actually able to continue running and finally did 32 minutes!!! Plus I was going faster than I have been so far. I am really starting to get into this and was so excited when I got back home. :happy: So, the week started off with a bit of a challenge and ended…

Just finished W7D3 of C25K for another 2.8 miles!

Just passed my new goal! HIked outside of Madrid with my husband and Jack Russell for 6 km (our estimate). It was a beautiful afternoon and our dog even went swimming in the small creek. We finished with a healthy picnic. What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Ticker updated!

Walked back from the city center to home - another 3.1 miles. So close to the new goal that I can taste it! Will hit it tomorrow!

WOO HOO! Just finished W7D2 with a great afternoon run in the autumn sun with a cool breeze. I was able to make the 25 minutes this time. It wasn't too bad and I was able to get a little farther in comparison to W6D3. I made a better plan than last time. I did pilates this morning and waited 5 hours before doing the run. I…

Went another 4.5 miles this afternoon on a wonderful run in Retiro Park. Gotta love the fall seaon, still sunny with a cooler breeze. I am getting closer to my second goal! Keep on moving everyone!

Another 2.3 miles walking the dog! Should break the new goal this weekend!!!:happy:

Totally inspirational! Great job and it sounds like you had a ton of fun on the way.

I agree. GO YOU!!!

Great Job and now you are providing inspiration for other!!!!

Bit off more than I can chew! So I tried to do W7D1 last night and was only able to run 19 minutes instead of the 25. However, it is my own fault. I decided that I had to get the run in and did it after my pilates class. Since no one else showed up for the class, it was a great session just for me and it killed my butt.…

Another 2.3 miles today. Ticker updated!

1.5 miles walking the dog! Ticker updated.

C25K is an interval running program that lasts 9 weeks and gets you from the Couch to 5k. It starts out slowly and builds up endurance. I am also doing it and find it effective and fun. Check out www. coolrunnings.com for details. I am doing this along with my 2X a week pilates and some eliptical machine. I also walk my…

Just finished W6D3 and it went well. Was slow enough in the beginning to finish without a serious struggle. I also added two more 5 minute intervals on the way home. Looks like there is no more walking for me. Week 7 is three 25 minutes. LOOK OUT - HERE I COME!

Added another 4.2 miles with W6D3 of C25K! Ticker is updated. WIll rest tomorrow to give me knees a little break.

CONGRAT!!!! I love hearing these stories about running successes. I am just starting this running bit with C25K and find these inspirational.

Big CONGRATS!!!

Forgot to update my ticker!

Just finished walking the dog in the park! Another 2.6 miles! Hope everyone else is enjoying the Sunday!
