I did not think I would be able to kick it up and run.

Made it through a couple of short intervals at 5mph on the treadmill today.
The shortest was 30sec, the longest 75sec. So proud of myself.

Total was 30min and a distance of 1.92 miles.

Yay!

Good for you!!

Woohoo!!!

congrats

Woo hoo!

Be careful, running gets addictive once you get into it!

Great job, well done!

thanks you all!

just found the couch to 5K program.
will try to work on it. seems like a great workout.

especially since i need to gain endurance and lose fat for my first goal:
surf camp on june 27 (only 8 weeks to go...!)

Yeah for you Willow. I have such a struggle running and doing short intervals to get myself up to running more often. It's definitely a process. Let me know how it goes! I can run for about 1 min at a speed of about 5.0 on the treadmill before I have to stop, then walk for 2 min at 3.5 then run again. My goal by the end of May is to be able to run at 5.0 for 5 min and/or a whole song (long one) on my IPOD!

YAAY!! I've been there and I know it feels great so congrats! I'm towards the end of the C25K program now, I lost track of what week though lol. I do a 5 minute warm up and then just run for as long as I can which is around 2.25-2.5 miles. I love this program it really helps! Good luck!

Awesome!! Now you can just work on extending the time in small increments, you are on your way!

Yeah!!!!! Way to go!!!

that's exactly where i am at! running at 5mph, walking at 3.5mph.

let's all keep going. it is so much fun!

Woo hoo! That's awesome! I braved it and tried running for a couple of one min. intervals the other night...I managed a collective 2 mins. Hard to believe I used to run cross country!

Keep up the great work, before you know it, you'll be running more and more!

soooooooooo true! and that goes hand to hand with shin splint!! (rubbing my painful leg)
