W5D3
Well, after about a week off, for different reasons, I decided to go ahead and just get W5D3 done without repeating W5 again. I figured if I couldn't do the 20 min run, I would just do what I could and try again Thursday. Well, I did it....all of it......without stopping! YAY ME!! The new shoes are awesome and my leg…

W5D2

AND not sure I will be able to do the 20 min run Thursday. We will see....I suprised myself running 10 min last week. I'll see how far…

W5D1- with new shoes
Well, finally got some new shoes! I ended up with Asics Gel- (not sure the number) not sure how i feel about them! I was hurting yesterday because i ran W4D3 in **walking shoes*** :embarassed: bad idea! I was in a lot of pain yesterday, so I went to the store, tried on the ones I had before and didn't like the feel of…

W4D3- done in a BIG way!!
Well, I was concerned after being off for 4 days and not feeling good or eating good the last 2! Well, guess I didn't have anything to worry about!! :smile: I went slow- very slow- but made it through all the runs. I decided- knowing what week 5 is bringing me- to add some extra time to the end of the last run- the 5…

Question about stretching
I am currently in W4 of the C25K- I have always stretched before and after the training. And, I drink lots of water-before and after. My question is, I can feel my left leg is "tighter" than my right. It doesn't stretch as easy or a far as my right one can. It also hurts more after the run than the right. Is there some…

W4D2
Today "felt" uglier than D1- however, when my 2 mile counter dinged- it said my pace was BETTER than D1....hmmmm......anyway- we are having "free ice cream" from East Coast Custard today at work, so I stayed a little longer and walked to make the whole thing 3 miles. (can't pass up free East Coast Custard!! the stuff is…

W4D1- wasn't pretty....
......but its done! I did okay-slower than my previous days, but I was at least able to get through all the runs! I kept telling myself-the time is not important- its making it through all the runs. And I did. Now for a good recovery day and on to W4D2!!
-
W3D3- Bring on W4!!
Well, finished W3 today! I did the whole thing and even added times to each of the runs to get ready for W4. The last run I ran into the through it and into the walk portion....ended up running for 5 minutes! I was so excited because now I know I can do W4! I've been averaging 2 miles for the actual days and today I ended…

W3D2 in the books!
Well, I did W3D2 - my run felt more "comfortable" but it was a little harder- if that makes sense.....I was able to add an extra 90 sec run during the cool down which made me happy and according to the Nike+GPS- I finally have it under a 15 min mile- which is HUGE for me!! I feel like I am just shuffling, but I must be…
-
W3D1
Well- I did it! Was really nervous about the 3 min run- but I did it! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be- I was even able to sneak in an extra 30 sec of running at the end.....actually felt better after this run than W2D3!! Not afraid of W3D2 now......:smile: Oh- almost forgot the best part....according to my…

W1D2
Well, I was so excited to get up and do W1D2- bought a HRM last night to get an accurate reading of calories burned- and wouldn't you know it was RAINING!! :sad: I could have gone to our Rec Center- but it was too late to get ready to go and drive there, work out, and make it home in time to get ready for work! :angry:…

W2D2- small victories
Well, W2D2 is in the books! Couple small victories today! 1st- I have been using our indoor track at the rec center I belong to. W2D1 I noticed that I could make one lap around the middle lane on one 90 sec run - well today I actually made it FARTHER- not by much, but it was definitely MORE than one lap around the middle…
-
W2D1 DONE!!!
Well, I got up early- couldn't sleep so decided to get up. I went to our rec center to use the indoor track- thought it would be easier since I was sick the past few days. when the first 90 sec hit- i started running. Was very surprised when the ap told me to start walking. It went pretty quick! It felt good to get it done…

W1D3 complete
Well, got up at 7 to do W1D3- mental note- do NOT walk dog for 2 miles night before a C25K day!! UGH....it was hard, but I did every bit of it. Feel pretty good though!! I didn't watch my time and wasn't in the right place to make it home by the time it was complete, so I ended up walking 8 extra minutes....which was fine.…

Not as sore!!
Well, after W1D1- I can could barely walk the next day. I have a desk job and if I sat too long, it was hard to get moving. Today, after W1D2- not nearly as sore!! Muscles are a little tight, but I can move and not feel bad!! YAY!! Can't WAIT till tomorrow with W1D3!!! :bigsmile:

Lessons learned on W1D2.....
1. Rec center closes at 8pm. Make sure to get there to give me enough time to do cool down inside! 2. if I do this in the evening again....might be a good idea to do this before eating dinner,.......45 minutes not enough time to let food settle! LOL!! 3. indoor track better than outside on sidewalk, but miss the sunrise…
