missed a week and a half
I've missed the last week and a half and probably the rest of this week due to illness. I was 4 weeks into this journey but only finishing up week 2. Where do you think I should start when I can run again? Should I jump into week 3 and see if I can do it? Or start back at week 2 again?

How should I enter my weight?
Tomorrow is my official weigh in day. Due to a, shall we say, forced extreme reduction in caloric intake, aka the flu, I'm down about 3 pounds in the last 3 days.

How do you enter a C25K workout? Fast walking? Jogging? I'm not sure, since it's part walk/part jog.

fruit at night?
I've been having an apple for a snack at night. It's usually after I've exercised and is maybe an hour before I go to bed. We eat dinner very early to accommodate all of our kids evening activities so by 9 or 10 at night I'm starving. I'm wondering if that's the best option, because of all of the sugar. I figured fruit was…
