Definitely a slow weekend. But today is Monday and I'm back at it! Daily Goal: 10,000 Aug. 4 - 12,912 Aug. 5 - 7,394 Aug. 6 - 10,069 Aug. 7 - 10,839 Aug. 8 - 5,138 Aug. 9 - 2,560 Aug. 10 - 5,886 Total: 54,798 Daily Average: 7,828

However, last night when I got home from my evening walk, my legs and feet were killing me! I have good shoes (or it would likely…

I was walking fairly often before I started C25K and I walk at about 4mph, but while doing C25K (I'm on week 4) I run about 3.3 mph. So yeah, I walk faster than I run right now. I know that doesn't seem to make sense, but it is a different kind of motion requiring different things from my body and I found that works best…

I had to repeat week 3 once and I am currently repeating week 4 for the second time.

I have been doing the C25K program and I am loving it! My opinion: running on a treadmill feels like work; running outside in nature feels like a fun break from the world. Night and day difference.

I missed the first few days, but I will start today. My goal is 10K steps at least 5 times per week. I just got my fitbit last week so this is still kind of new to me.

Our company is moving to a new location in September and we're all getting the stand up desks (and our own fitness room - YAY!). I can't wait to try out the stand up desks.

I'm also checking back for an update.

No I don't usually stretch before the run because I've heard that you shouldn't stretch beforehand either. But these calves were like bricks. I have had tight calves before, but the last couple of previous runs I did some ankle rolls and some wall calf stretches before I left my house and it seemed to help. (I have a job…

Yesterday I had my first set back and I'm really disappointed. I am on my fifth week of C25K. I repeated week 3 so I am currently on week 4. We also went on vacation this weekend through Wednesday. I was really proud of myself because on Monday (while on vacation!!) I did the W4D1 workout on the treadmill in the hotel…

Well, I drank 8 cups of water yesterday before the run and according to my food log it looks like I am actually going overboard with the sodium. Hmmm.

I listen to the "Pop Fitness Radio" channel on Pandora when I run. I found it a couple of weeks ago and so far I like it pretty well. Yesterday the pace was perfect to match my running (which may not be a great thing because I'm kind of slow) LOL. Anyway, they play a pretty good mix of contemporary pop tunes that are also…

So last night I did the W3D1 workout. I was okay with the week 2 workouts, but to be honest, I was pretty nervous going into last night's run. I really didn't know if I could handle running 2.5 minutes continuously. Well, I'm here to say I DID IT!! It was a challenge, but I just tried not to look at my app too much and…

This reminds me of another one I saw on Pinterest: "No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch." And that's true and I keep repeating that to myself as I shuffle/jog along at 3mph. I'm still running faster than everyone who isn't doing anything. I also tell myself that this is my speed *TODAY*.…

I have been doing the C25K program for two weeks now. I had a knee injury in the spring and I've been trying to avoid another injury so I'm taking the advice I read on here to go WAY slower than you think you can. Also there is the bit where you are supposed to be able to carry on a conversation while running so I slow…

I'm scheduled to do W3D1 tonight. I peeked ahead at the workout and I'm a little nervous about doing 2.5 minutes of continuous running. I did week 2 without any problems, but 2.5 minutes sounds like an awfully long time to me. Fingers crossed!

I started last week. I'm planning to do W2D2 tonight.

I did C25K W2D1 last night. I just find myself feeling so overjoyed when I finish. I am so proud of myself because I feel like I have doubted my own ability for so long. I'm still going REALLY slowly and last night my one minute pace was 17:36, but I'm trying not to think about that at this point. I'm proud that I finished…

I started the C25K in March and only got about two weeks into it when I developed bursitis in my left knee and stopped running. For a while even walking was painful. This week I finally thought my bursitis had healed enough and I was tired of sitting around so I started again. Last night I did W1D2 and afterward I felt…

I was diagnosed with systemic lupus 17 years ago. Fortunately my lupus is fairly well controlled, but I do have issues. Exercise is one thing that I have struggled with for a long time. This is something I really struggle with. I have a hard time knowing what is good pain and what is bad pain and I'm so afraid of setting…

My 5 Mile Fat Burning DVD came in the mail on Saturday. I tried it out on Sunday. I only made it through 3 miles, but it was a great workout! I'm going to try to do it at least 5 times per week doing as many miles as I can handle on any given day.

I like the 2 mile walk, but do feel like I need something to push me a little more. Tiny_Zg after what you said I decided to order the 5 Mile Fat Burning DVD from amazon. I'm excited to check it out!

I've got the DVD with the 1 mile and the 2 mile on it. I prefer the 2 mile. And I use the band. I like it as a fallback to when I can't go outside. For example, it is pouring down rain tonight so I'm thinking about doing the 2 mile after I get home from work (after 6pm).

I have not been able to run for over two weeks now due to the bursitis in my knee. But it is much better now and I have decided to start walking again every day for a couple of weeks before I start up on the C25K again. So I will be significantly behind, but I am ready for the reboot.

I would like to try this. I tried to start a C25K program about a month ago and then ran into bursitis problems in my knee and haven't been able to run for a couple of weeks. I've decided to get back at it by walking at first an eventually switching over to running again. Maybe this challenge is what I need to get…

When I went to the running store a couple of weeks ago to be fitted for my new shoes, I was told that there should be a fingernail's length of extra shoe on the toe to allow for your feet to expand when running. Maybe your toes are being pinched and causing pain underneath them. I bought a half-size bigger than what I…

I was pretty disappointed with my run last night. I did week 1 last week and it was challenging, but I was able to do it with few problems and felt good at the end of the week. I didn't get any workout in over the weekend between bad weather and not feeling good. So last night I decided to do W1,D2 again rather than move…
