I just finished week 7!! I am going to start week 8 on Wednesday. I'm excited. This last weekend I got wedding 4 of 5 out of the way for the summer so I can concentrate more on running. The cooler weather has been great too! It hasn't gotten above 60 for the last week so the afternoon runs are nice and cool.  I can tell my pace has quickened. My husband has been running with me too which has been nice. He'll run 6 to 10 miles and then we'll run together when he gets back. It's nice becuase we actually get to talk to each other, like a real conversation. We are usually busy doing different things, or going places so it's nice to get some one on one time together. |

| Ran OHR W3D1 this morning. We are consistently hitting 3.0-3.1 miles on our 30 minute runs, which is nice. This morning was my first run in a while that didn't feel good--I wasn't suffering, but my legs felt heavy early on. I think I need to work on my breathing at the beginning of the run. |
2008 Goals:
1. Finish C25K
2. Race <30 minute 5K
3. Complete One Hour Runner |

| did OHR week2 day 1 (interval version), another 5am run. i can definitely tell that it's getting easier and that i have a "comfortable" pace now. this morning was easy to wake up and get going, much easier than last week but i was still having devil's advocate thoughts like "why am i doing this, just run when you get home", so i'm glad that my husband is running with me now, otherwise i know i would have just crawled back into bed. |
I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

| Just did an easy run...nothing crazy, just something to get us out there! It's been a hectic week with school and a 15 min. easy run is better than no run, right? |

UPS finally delivered my shoes on Monday night, so I was able to do my W2D1 of C25K. Today is W2D2. I'm also loving the shoes. They're so much better than the clodhoppers I was using while I waited for my running shoes.

See? 
Great going, everyone! I've been sucky at keeping track of things for the same reasons Wingz couldn't keep doing the charts, but I try to keep up...so proud! |

I did Week 7 Day 2 last night - it was a tough one! Day 1 this week rocked, Day 2? Not so much! I found out today that the mold spore count was 'High' yesterday so that may explain the breathing issues I was having. Couldn't get comfortable, haven't run outdoors in awhile- it all added up to a challenging run! However, I did NOT stop, (why do we do this?) and I pushed through the pain - talked myself into relaxing, focus - anything I could to get comfortable! Finally in the last 5 minutes it started coming together but I was almost done by then so...if nothing else, it was a lesson in 'mind over matter' and pushing through the 'pain'.
I hope Day 3 goes a bit better!
Everyone here seems to be cruising along!
Cheers~ |

| Today was our last run before the 5K on Sunday. We hit just a smidge over 5K in 30 minutes, and we both feel like we could have gone faster. It's a nice confidence builder! |

Wow, so many people close to big milestones --- finishing the C25K, first races, all good stuff. Sounds like everyone is being challenged too which is great.
I'm still running 3x per week although I haven't been posting here much about my runs. I'm getting out for 30-45 minutes at a time, never the same length twice in one week. It's good. I'd like to see some improvement in my speed but I know with time that'll happen. I'm putting in the miles and I'm loving it so that's the important part. |

| I've been at the beach this week on vacation, but I've still gotten runs in. Yesterday was the first time I've ever had to cut a run short to, well, ummm, "go." Other than that, it's been a normal running week even though the scenery has changed. |

Just finished Week 2 of C25K. Shew! Started with a headache into today's, and despite some difficulties with the iPod cord and the treadmill (don't know why today was any different, honestly - I was just clumsy, I guess), etc...I pulled it together and got it done. 
Modified to correct Week# - I got ahead of myself. It's Week 2 I finished. |

I've done 3 runs this week so far - 3 miles, 1 mile, 3 miles. I can't seem to get past the 3 mile point. My joints just don't seem to be able to handle it yet. I don't want to injure myself like I did during C25k when I had to take a month off.
I plan on starting a wait loss program next week so I'm hoping that losing a few pounds might make things easier. My doctor also really emphasized strength training, which I haven't done yet. I need to start that though, I'm getting frustrated. |
