I'm still sticking to running, but not so strictly to the C25K program. Saturday's workout was 5 min walk, 25 min jog, 2 min walk, 5 min jog, 5 min jog, 2 in walk, 4 min jog. I started clocking my time after my warmup walk and did 3.1 miles in 38:02 minutes. Yesterday I just pulled out the W6D1 podrunner podcast. I just…

So I wasn't sure what I'd be doing when I started my run today. In the back of my mind, I was thinking I might do my W5D3 run. It's less overall than I've been running, but more in one burst.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. For the record, I *did* kick butt in the weight loss contest: 1st place woman and only a fraction of a pound off from 1st place overall. :happy: Yesterday was W4D1 and it wasn't bad at all. I slowed way down to 5.2 MPH so I had the confidence to make it through the whole workout. I flaked…

Hi all, I'm a newbie around here, but I'm determined to make it through th C25K program and need someone to hold me accountable! I was "dared" to join a Biggest Loser-style competition with some co-workers earlier this year and started myself on a regular (more-or-less!) routine of swimming, weight training and intervals,…
