I don't even know if anyone is still doing this or not...LOL!

I got lost after week 3...I just couldn't do week 4!

I'm gonna try to stay on week three or 2 though ...so I'm still pushing myself...

I think I may just try this challenge again when I'm at a lower weight.....and can afford good running shoes....

My breathing isn't the problem...its my legs....they hurt like crazy!!!

So for anyone still hanging in there....here is week 6


Of course each day still starts with a 5 min warm up!

Day 1-
5 min jog
3 min walk
8 min jog
3 min walk
5 min jog

Day 2-
10 jog
3 walk
10 jog

Day 3-
25 min jog


Good luck!

I'm on week 4, and I did day 2 this morning. As on Monday, I couldn't finish the last 5 minute run because of knee pain (otherwise I would have nailed it!), but I'm hopeful that will work itself out by next week. It's still hard, but hard in a good way compared to the first few weeks, when it was just ugh.

I got a very enthusiastic good morning from a guy I ran past Monday at, oh, probably 5:45 in the morning . Too bad all I could do was gasp out "hi" - those two letters were all I could manage .

Keep it up!

I never finished week 2 I am so outta shape.

I have been walking exactly one mile every day for almost 2 weeks. That's just where I had to start given my weight and how outta shape I am. But I'm getting stronger!

I've still got all the podcasts on my ipod and I will complete this C25K someday.

Thanks to you, Melissa for getting this together and keeping it going. I had never even heard of it till I read your first post.

And to all you still running

Maybe you could try using the program with slower and faster paced walking segments? Help you push a little.

Thanks Julie, that's a great idea!

Kelleigh - Aww... Thanks I'm suckin' pretty hard at this right now. But I figure if it helps someone else then that is great! I will probably do another on in Jan...although I doubt i will do it as a thread challenge...It will probably just be a personal challenge!

Julie ~ Hmmm....was he cute? LOL! OMG.....my Biology lab teacher is soooo HOT! It is hard to concentrate on Biology. LOL! He is younger than me (I'm sure by alot....I'm 27 he is probably 22 or 23)....My hubby is cute too though....LOL!

I did Week 4 Day 2 today! I feel great!! As before, I do my runs through the trails and walkways in my town with no watch, and there are hills and places I have to stop for traffic. When I started, I mostly walked, now I mostly run (sometimes up hill) and I'm gone for 35-55 minutes depending on where I feel like going that day. I can feel my lungs getting stronger, and my legs are, too! The other day, I brought my 11-year-old DD on her bike. We had fun!!
Some weirdiosity I have noticed: I seem to be doing better after my 2-week wedding hiatus. What the heck? Oh well, I'm not trading it in.
I enjoy running so much, I worry about winter. I don't really like treadmills, but I will use one if I have to. Maybe I'll go out in my snowsuit and ice-fishing boots, with my sou'wester on my head. Just you watch!!!

Im starting this all over when i get all moved in to my new apartment and whatnot. I have a lot of traveling going on right now. Im sticking to good eathing for now at least.
Way to go everyone thats on it.
It's cracy how strong it can make you feel!

I did Week 4 Day 3 today. My knee didn't start to hurt a bit until the last 30 seconds of the last run, so that was better! My legs were more tired today for unknown reasons, but I kept going .

I did Week 4 Day 3 today, so I'm right with you, JulieJ08! Tomorrow I think I'll do Week five Day 1, just because when I go for my run, I feel so great and get lots of housework done. Probably I'll take DD with me again!

Cool! I'm doing it Monday (Week 5, Day 1). Nice to have someone at the same place .

I restarted week 4 day 1 again! nd it wasn't as terrible as i expected it to be! yay! anyone on week 4 at the moment?

Fauxtini, congrats!

I did Week 5 Day 1 this morning, and it was good. Kofarq, how did it go?

Good girl, Mrs. Fauxtini!
Good job, JulieJ08!
I did Week 5 Day 1 today. It was great! I no longer gasp and swear as I come up my driveway after a run!
This time, I brought DD and her 2 GFs on their bikes. They would pass me, then come back and call me slowpoke, and race ahead. When I caught up, they would yell, "Wooo!" like I was a marathon runner! That was fun. Afterwards, we all came over to our house, and BBQed some chicken, and had Spinach salad. Delicious!

Kofarg: hahaha that's great that you had a cheering committee! And speaking of cheering committees.. I was away while you got married I do beleive and I want to send big huge hug and congrats to you on your marriage!!! woo hoo!!
