Hi all! Checking back in.

Still haven't finished but it seems like maybe I'm in good company - it sounds like many of of are faultering a bit right now.

In my case, I (like Fluffy) took a week or so off 'cause my hips were hurting. More specifically, my IT band was getting overstressed. Then I started having back trouble (rib and low back), so I extended my rest. And here I am, still not ready to go back out there. SOoooooooo frustrating. And I am about to starte traveling again, which makes training tough. poo.

Mayness - sorry to hear you took a break too, but all in all, I'm kinda glad you're still here! We'll make it - we just have to keep trying!!!

I dunno, but having an overuse injury kinda made me feel like a real runner again - not that its a desirable thing, but for some reason it takes the edge off the ouchies to know they came from trying too hard!

Hi all! I've been out of town this past week. Despite my best intentions, I didn't have a chance to run at all last week. However, I did quite a bit of walking. Now, I'm back home and my schedule will not allow me to work out until Thursday. I think I will repeat W6D3 since I didn't run the full 25 minutes at the 5K. So, I'll try and complete that before moving on.

Oh, I downloaded Gotta Fly Now (Theme from Rocky). That song really motivates me to go for it.

I just started Week 8. The 28 minute jog. My pace is pretty slow and I did about 2 miles in that time. Jogged the entire 28 minutes!

I never thought I would be able to do it, but I really think I will get to 3 miles!

Woo! Great job, Lori!!

I'm only on week one, so it's still insane to think that in just a few weeks I should be able to do a full 28 minute jog!!
