I ran 5k on the treadmill this morning. Now I've done the 10k I'm trying to concentrate on increasing my speed a bit, and I just about managed a 28 minute 5k this morning which I'm really pleased with as I've been stuck at about 29.30 for what seems like ages.

I've managed to run a couple times in the last few weeks, and am doing OK, but my consistency really stinks since I've gone back to work. It seems like some weeks I work out 6 days a week and others I maybe am lucky to walk to the mailbox.
Hoping to get my day care worked out soon--it has fallen through twice which is a big part of the problem.
YP good for you on your 5K time!

I made day3, week3 couch to 5k! I'm getting into this running thing! Although it's hard, but nothing that's worth working for is ever easy!

Hello everyone! 
I have been absent from the Cool Runners thread for a while because I haven't been running.  Started to slip back a little in the past few weeks and decided to do something. Finally getting back into running, just in time for the holidays. Ran 2 miles on Monday...And I'm still sore today! Have another 2 miles planned for tomorrow. Managed to run the whole distance, VERY SLOWLY, but pretty pleased with my start anyway!
This patient part at the beginning is tough.

Girls, am I too late to join you?
I just discovered this thread last week. I've been dying to get running again (Ilene, have you heard that one before?  ), and you're all so inspiring! 
I just got on the treadmill for 20 minutes, and during that time, ran an 8 and a 2 minute stretch.

I started a run tonight, and my knees are better. Unfortunately my hubby gets home too late and it is too cold to run outside, I had to leave when they locked up.
I'll try again tomorrow, I'll have to move my C25K days to Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

Hello everyone! I'd forgotten about these running threads.
I ran three days this past week. I was going to run today, but decided not to because it was so yucky and gray out. Yesterday's run was nice. It was sunny out and about 35 degrees. I walked for a while in just my t-shirt because I got hot. The sidewalks were a bit slushy, so I was praying that I wouldn't fall and look like a total dork! 
Running goal: 3-5 days a week, at least half an hour each.

Well I ran three times this first week back and managed to make it all the way through each run. Really proud of yesterday's because I had to run through 3-4 inches of snow in some sections. Wow that really works your legs. I have never run in the snow before.
Yesterday it was bitterly cold. In the low-20's and wind chill down in the teens. I am just not used to winter yet. Layered up and put on hat and gloves but could have used a second layer on the pants. My legs were cold and red by the time I got home.
I am just going to be dedicated about getting out and flexible about my timing to deal with the weather. I don't know how you Canadian gals do it. Aren't you in a snow belt?
