You can join in any time! No need to wait for the January thread :)

Isn't week 5 the big 20 minute run? Are you excited about it? The first time I was able to jog straight for 20 minutes was full of win!

its 8 minutes 3xs...2 minute recovery between.

I'm at 13 miles in total for the week and I'll be at 17 before the week is over :)

I really feel like I'm making good progress with the running. Doing 3 miles is very easy now and I only start to get a bit winded/ tired after 4 or 5. In fact, I'm feeling my best right around the 3 mile mark.

Thanks Matt! I did c25k last January, finishing in May because I had to repeat several weeks. For the longest time, I really couldn't go faster than 4.5 or I'd get horribly winded. But now, all of a sudden, I'm comfortable at 5.2 and can do some intervals at 5.5 and even short intervals at 6.0 or 7.0...
But I run by time rather than distance, and I've NEVER run 3 miles...I was working toward a 5k last spring, but I never had a chance to sign up for one, and I'm still freaked out at the idea of 3 miles-- but in truth, I think I can run that far. Maybe I'll try for distance instead of time next time and see what happens.

Happy New Year's Eve!!!!Just got in from my run, week 5 day 2...then off to work....can't believe we have to work all day today...anyway...I feel great, a little sore, but its ok. Will try to finish this week on Sunday if the weather permits. I will be so glad when I can increase my speed, but right now Im not too worried about that...just doing the c25k to completion. Later!

Alright fellow runners, I cranked out some decent runs this week. Yesterday was 6.5 miles at 10:35 pace. Monday Starts Marathon Training! I started running Jan. 17th and have logged 675 miles since!
Best Wishes for 2011~!

Twin Momma-- I'm totally impressed by your progress!!!! I started weight loss almost the same time as you-- June 19, 2009, at close to your start weight, and we're near the same height. I started running in Jan. 2010, but I can't IMAGINE running 6 miles at a 10.35 pace. That is just amazing!

I run 3 in about 30 mins depending on how I'm feeling. Usually it takes a few mins more. Don't worry about you're times or milage ubergirl, you'll get there. Running is something that takes a lot of time and practice to improve upon. When I started, 1 mile was a complete chore, and now I've completed a half marathon - sky's the limit, keep it up! Ok, I'm gonna go be a cheater now and start the January thread! :)

finally got my new treadmill delivered and set up...despite they damaged my wood floors...gee....anyway ran week 6 day 1 today...that is 12 min run twice...whew..the Sole treadmill is so quiet..fantastic piece of equipment

WOW..you got a Sole...they are nice!;) Did you buy brand new? They are waaaaay expensive! When I was checking out treadmills, it seemed the two top ones were the Landice and the Sole. What made you choose Sole? Just curious.

Anyhoot...congrats!:carrot:
