September c25k check in!

[vcubergirl]

My face is still sore from my root canal yesterday, so no running today. I'm hopeful for tomorrow, but we'll see. It's weird, but I miss it.

I didn't run today because I don't have week 5 on my phone yet. I'm helpless when it comes to technology & my H does it for me.

I did take the boys and a friend to the trail and walked 2 1/2 miles, though. Before this, I would have defaulted to going to a park and sitting while they played. I can feel a difference in my energy level! (I don't usually exercise at all.)

Aaaaaand today it was raining. I'm never going to get to run again!

[vcubergirl]

Bed bugs!? Oh no! That sounds horrible. Good luck to you!

I just started today! Even day 1 kicked my ass.... I'm so out of shape.

Finished Week 1 yesterday ... starting Week 2 tomorrow morning

By the time I start again, I'm going to have to start back at week 1.

I missed several days but I was able to jump right back in, much to my surprise. I hope you can get back to it soon!

How's everyone doing? We were on vacation last week so I definitely got sidetracked, but this week I'm back at it because I'm running a 5k this weekend! I can't wait!

[vcubergirl]

5k tomorrow, I'm so excited! Except it's supposed to rain, less excited about that part ;-)

I started this week. Got 2 workouts in. It takes me slightly longer than 30 minutes to do the circuit around a local week. I am guessing that walking an additional 10 minutes isn't a big deal.

I like the lake as there are 2 circuits the outside one is 5k so I don't need to change the location as my endurance builds.

Doing a 5k road race tomorrow morning. Forecast is dry/sunny. I collected my race number this afternoon.

[vcubergirl]

I made it! I did have to take a few breaks to walk, and I was near the back of the people who were actually trying to run, but I made it! 40:21, so not a record breaking time, but pretty good for me. I signed up for another one on Halloween, so time to keep training! I may go back and start at week 5 again and see if I can improve my pace.

Keep up the good work, ladies!

I have a love-hate relationship with this program. When I was at w3d1, a friend decided to do this with me, so I have been running with her, but effectively went back to week 1, but added in a run before I meet up with her. I am generally really tired nonetheless at the end of the runs I am repeating, and I feel I shouldn't be. But then, I did a run by myself w3d3, and I felt it was too easy.. So i am going to try w4d1 tomorrow and see how it goes.

I finished my 5K this morning. My time was 42:00, so sloooooow...but I did it! I even had a personal best mile in there & my pace was my fastest yet. I had to walk a bit, but I knew that. I had done week 4 training, then fell off the bandwagon for 2 weeks. I ran my first full mile sine I was a kid on Friday & ran most of the 5K on Saturday.

Keep up the good work!

I did w5d2 Wednesday and haven't gone since because I haven't had a single second. Hopefully I will be able to go tomorrow!

Race done this morning. 32:09 according to my stopwatch. I wonder will it match the chip timing. Tired now... It was a 1km+ walk to the start and ~2km walk home from the finish line. And then went for a gentle stroll with do and dd2 an hour or so later...

[lilac05]

Thinking of you this morning, irish! I hope you had a great run!

Thanks. Though it didn't feel that way today - the winners did it in half the time I did it!! I was 700+ out of 950 finishers...

Yeah, when we were lining up and they were yelling for all the people finishing in under 16 minutes to go to the front, I was pretty amazed.
