3 days rather than 6?
Well, hubby and I managed to run on Monday, but not Tuesday or Wednesday. We ran again this morning. Amazingly, I was able to do just as well as I did on Monday - no need for breaking the intervals or walking just a little bit longer than jogging - you know, fun little “cheat” type things - so I’m super excited by that! In my head, I think I thought that my body would “forget” how to jog if I didn’t do it everyday. I don’t know why I had that misconception - so you can see why I really was surprised when after a 2 day break, it was as easy to jog as it was 2 days earlier. I hope that makes sense. I thought I would be huffing and puffing like my first session of training - but not at all.
I’m left thinking that since the C25K plan actually only asks you to train every other day, that maybe this is what I should do. I’m so anxious to lose weight that initially I wanted to train every day, but I think it just wears me out right now and encourages me to “take a day off” and then I feel bad about myself.
So from here on out, I’m going to follow the C25K plan a little more closely - jogging 3 days a week rather than 6 days a week. And I think we’ll move on to week 2 next week - as the week 1 is definitely starting to feel comfortable! 
Yay for progress!
ETA: Since my TOM is winding down - I’m excited to report that I’ve lost 3 more pounds! Now 248! (Starting weight was 253). My first 5 pounds!!! GONE!!! :D
Definitely go the 3 day route instead of 6. Most injuries from running are from doing too much, too soon. You see progress so you pick it up a notch, do more, longer, faster etc. Then boom, injury, painful & puts you out of commission for a LONG time. I tried jogging 3 times each w injuries before I found C25K. Then never had an injury again. I did have weeks that I repeated because I just didnt master them as fast as one week. I loved it. I had back surgery 2 yrs ago and jogging is off the table for me forever now, but it was the greatest exercise I’ve ever done.
If I wanted to work out more, I did elliptical at the gym or walking on the other days — that’s better because it still lets your body recover from the jarring effects of jogging.
I’m sorry to hear about your surgery - but hope it was all for the better. Thanks so much for the suggestion to keep our routine to 3 days. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to see progress, but lo and behold, even taking 2 days off, we’re still able to keep up with our previous “achievement”! And we’re not dog tired (as we were with every day jogging)…and as you said…much less chance of injury <3
