Can I get on the waiting list too, I guess? 100 spots must have filled up REALLY fast :cry:

I'm a graduate too!! Officially now (even though I did my first 5K on June 1st), I completed W8D3 on Saturday and moved right on to W9D1 on Sunday...onward and upward on my way to the 10K!! I can't believe it...3 months ago I was 30 lbs heavier and wouldn't have been able to run a mile if my life depended on it...Sunday I…

Did W8D3 on Saturday...I'm official now!! Then I sorta skipped a rest day and did W9D1 Saturday, on my way to the 10K, because I was just excited to get started with it :happy: 4x 10 minute runs was more of a challenge then I thought it would be...but it felt great!! I am signed up for a 10K in August and I think I'm going…

W8D2 last night...will be doing W8D3 tomorrow and then will be an official graduate!! Can't wait to get started on the way to the 10K:happy:

I honestly don't know if it is or not...but it happens to me too sometimes...just fwiw

Thanks folks...last night was much more comfortable weather-wise and I actually had a personal best time on my 30 minute run, so I feel like it must have been the heat slowing me up. Thanks for making me feel better!!:flowerforyou:

Had a bit of a knee *thing* so I took it easy for a few days...did W7D2 last Tuesday, W7D3 on Saturday, and then just turned around W8D1 in the H E A T :devil: W A V E last night...sheesh...but, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The weather has really been less than aggreeable for me so last night I just…

This...allllll this....

Did W7D1 on Friday morning with A LOT of hills...sorta fried my knees for the remainder of the weekend though :( They are feeling better today though so W7D2 will be this evening. It's getting really hot and muggy out now so if I don't run in the morning first thing I really have no choice but to wait until it's almost…

W6D3 today (even though I guess I technically did this on Sunday when I ran the 5K lol) on my lunch break...HOT and SWEATY now at work....well worth it :smile: Also, I am actually in the 10K program now, so once I get beyond W8 it keeps rolling so I can start training for my first 10K next... I am looking at one I want to…

Running in the rain = AWESOME :glasses: Give it a try...I was BEGGING for rain today LOL

So, I decided to keep working the weeks even though I did run over the 30 minutes on W5D3....see how it goes...I have my first 5K on Sunday and I AM going to TRY to make it through the whole thing running though. Anyhow...W6D1 yesterday, in what started out as a little drizzle and ended up being a downpour...smoked it…

Okay soooo....I knocked W5D3 out of the PARK yesterday!! Actually...when the 20 minutes was up, I ran through the 5 mintue cool down too....then 10 minutes longer to the end of my trail...which made my total running time and distance....3 miles in 35 minutes!! Sooo, the question now becomes...do I go "backwards" and do…

Rocked W5D1 on Saturday morning (just hadn't had a chance to post on the boards since then)...even did an extra 6 minutes of running at the end:smokin: ...Doing W5D2 today after work..feel good about that....W5D3 has me a weeeeee bit terrified though LOL I'm trying to stay positive but it just seems like such a big…

W4D3 on my lunch break today!! Bring it on Week 5 !!!!! :tongue:

W4D1 in the books!! And I found that when I hit about the 3.5min mark, I start to get into kind of a groove...and it was a REALLY good run this morning!! I was scared of this week, a little, but now I'm feeling really good about myself today :smile:

DId W3D3 today...feeling good in that one and ready to tackle W4...during W3D1 my phone rang in the middle of the first 3 minute run and I didn't realize right away that it froze the timer, so I ran longer than 3 minutes...that little oops is really helping my confidence that I will be able to get through the 5 minute runs…

Me too :) At first it seemed daunting but now I'm really enjoying the little bit longer running intervals...looking forward to next weeks 5 minute stretch!!

I've been a vegitarian since I was 12 years old...just over 21 years ago...and I used to get really picked on by my family and used to have a hard time finding things to eat. Everyone thought it was just a "phase" and so therefor it was okay to belittle my choice. I didn't care...I learned to find things that I could eat…

Newbie here! Did W2D1 this morning...so far, so good...gotta start somewhere, right? :)

I love this thread! I log all of my food...but I do, occasionally "roll" my calories to the next day. So, for example, if I have an average breakfast and snack day, a big-ish lunch, and then get home and everyone else in my family wants pizza, I don't necessarily sit sulking in the corner with my salad that I had planned…

Same boat here! I have 5 kids (ages 8, 10 and 12yr old triplets), work full-time in Accounting and go to school part time online working on my Masters degree. I spend sooooo much time sitting in front of a computer it is really hard to lose weight, but I have to make an effort. I am 33 years old and have gained 40 pounds…
