W7D3 done!! Only three more runs to go! I can't even believe I can run 25 minutes now without stopping. I NEVER thought I'd ever be capable of that, and I'm so proud of myself for not giving up (even when it got tough). Keep going, everyone!! You can do this!!!
-
Not necessarily... I just made a rule that, challenging or not, as long as I completed the run as written without stopping, I would advance to the next level. You'd be surprised how quickly your body adapts. I have one week left after tomorrow, and while I have just BARELY completed several levels along the way, I haven't…

Knocked W7D2 out of the park!!!! Four more workouts until I move on to 10k runner :)

My husband works midnights, so I catch him in the morning, before he goes to sleep, so he can babysit while I go for a run. I tried taking my daughter in the stroller once...it was a disaster!

Getting ready to do my 20 minute run. Two days ago, 15 minutes was no problem, but for some reason the 20 minute run scares the crap out of me!! I think the sight of no walking breaks is freaking me out, even though my cool down will be like my walking break. I've been procrastinating all morning, lol.

W6D3 done!! So long, walking breaks!

Just finished W6D1 this morning. I feel amazing! I looked at my runtastic app and saw that I ran my first mile without stopping in 9:32. I haven't done that since middle school, and my best mile time back then was 9:45 (and I was about 90 lbs lighter back then)!!!!

Great job!!! Congrats!

Just finished w5d3 this morning. Is it weird that I find running in the rain incredibly refreshing, lol?

I finished W5D1 of 5k Runner today!!!! I thought I'd lose my mind two days ago when I had to run in 5 minute segments, but I BLEW through today's run :). I even had energy left for a beginner body weight strength training routine!
-
Yeah, I think I was a bit quick to post that one. I did a bunch of ankle strengthening and stretching on my day off that day and tightened the laces on my shoes a bit tighter for the next run and it fixed the problem. No pains at all now. I just did week 4 day 1 today. I think the hardest part right now is breaking through…

I finished W3D3 yesterday. It was the first time I've really struggled to keep going. I was drained after the first 3 minute run. I'm so nervous to start week 4!! I've been running one day on and one day off since the start, and I haven't really been paying attention to the weeks. Should I be taking that extra rest day in…

Clearsky has apps for push ups, pull ups, sit ups, and squats. Some are 0-100, some are 0-200. I was just going to start with these. They're designed to build you up gradually.

It's the 5k Runner app by Clearsky

I have almost the same numbers as you. It can be done!! I am 5'6'' and I started on MFP (at 223lbs) on February 1st. My goal was to lose weight as slowly as I could at first. I set myself an attainable goal of .5lbs per week, and found that to be too easy, so I gradually moved my goal from there. I am now down about 20lbs…

Finished W3D1 today, and I didn't die!! Yay!!!

I do this alllllllllll the time!!! A few days ago, I saved an extra 250 calories in the evening and planned a little "mini-meal". Instead of my usual bowl of cereal, followed by fruit, followed by yogurt, followed by cheese, I grabbed a Jimmy Dean D-Lights sandwich for my snack. The warmth and the protein really did it for…
