week 7

Oct 17 2009 13:20

not going to lie...running 28 mins is hard work!...if it wasnt for my running partner i would've stopped...next week is week 9..last week will be running 30 mins....

week 6 c25k

Oct 03 2009 20:58

Completed week 6...Today I had to run 25 mins and I thought I wasn't going to make it...I almost stopped at 21 mins but had to push myself to go the whole 25, the distance was 2.35 miles so I guess I did alright....Next week I'll be running 25 mins the whole week...I hope I get use to it..It is definitely a challenge but i am persevering!...

Week 5 C25k

Sep 27 2009 10:10

ok..completed week 5...Yesterday I jogged 20 mins without stopping. By the end of it i was breathing pretty hard but am proud that I was able to do it. By the end of next week I'll be running 28 mins...I can't believe this was possible, but this program is awesome!....4 more weeks to go and i'll be ready to run my first 5k race! YAY!

Week 4 C25K

Sep 20 2009 17:23

Completed week 4...3min jog,90 sec walk, 5 mins jog, 2.5 walk, 3 mins jog, 90 sec walk and end with a 5 min jog...It was definitely harder this week, but still able to do it...looking forward to week 5!

Week 3 C25k

Sep 13 2009 10:46

Completed week 3..It was a little more challenging than the previous week..It was 90,90,3 mins, 3mins and then repeat..running 3 minutes when you're not a runner is harder than it seems..Next week i'll be running 5 mins intervals..should be interesting....I am enjoying the challenge though!

Week 2 C25k

Sep 05 2009 17:58

Just completed week 2 of c25k training..Still doable!...it was 90 second jogging, 2 minutes walking....

7 more weeks to go!

Day off!

Have to stay positive and motivated and when life takes you to places you didn't expect to go, you just have to ride it out, somehow!....

feeling great
