Day 2 of 21+, done.

Week 4 of NHS Couch to 5K. Gotta be done week 4 after doing it for 2 weeks.

Dogs walk in a bit.

Chickadee -- glad to hear that the runs do get easier. This past week I was doing the running part of my C25K at 5.2-5.3 and my legs just felt rubbery each time and ended up cutting it back to 5.0. Hoping that next week, when I start week 5, my legs are in the groove.

loose seal: Others seem to have a ton of success with C25K, but I failed miserably when I tried it - I think because it just felt harder each week for me, never easier! I did better when I started just running at a slow steady pace, because it was easier for me to feel the improvements. However you do it though, the improvements are happening! I hope your legs feel more comfortable with this week's runs.



March 1 - 3 mile run + walk/sprint intervals + warm up/cool down walk + stretching (4.4 miles total; 75 minutes)
March 2 - 2.5 mile walk + strength training (upper and lower body); 70 minutes

Days: 2/20

I'm a couple days late but I want to set a goal for over 1000 minutes in March. If I don't have accountability I won't do any. So excited to feel like I have to do it now!

New to this group, I love setting goals it helps keep me on track. I will walk 25 miles every week of March or (20 min of other exercise = 1 mile). I already have a slow start to this month, need to get going.

PrincessSophia 03-04-2012 01:21 PM

March, 04

Run 5.1 miles out of 40
Swimming 1 (20 minutes) out 9
strength training - only one exercise so far (I found several ones which I can do at home)

I barely managed my modest goals in Decemebr and January, and in mid-February I got behind. Although I did exercise some even after I knew I did not have enough days left in the month to mmet my goal, I didn't even come here to post those days.

I have to spend a week out of town, and I'm starting a few days late, so I'm going with another modest goal of 12 days.

I'll go get on that treadmill right now, so I can report tonight or tomorrow! :)

Day 3 of 21+, done.

NHS Couch to 5K, week 5, run 1.

Am trying to get offamahbutt and go walk the dog.

eta: Walked one dog (kid took other dog out at a later time). WOW, I haven't walked just my one dog by herself in months . . . I forgot how quickly I can walk with her and how very serious she is about it all. lol Gotta do this more often. Maybe on days when I don't "officially" exercise I can take two walks, one dog each time. That'd give me an hour or so of walking and about 3 miles.
