W3D3 It was a nice run with my son, who has kept me company during all my runs this week. He is still very eager to go on, and wants to race 3K or 6K by the end of november... I'm now searching some information on running with kids...

Pitters, congrats on graduating from C25K! Are you going to try a 5K race now?

Yep! A while back we signed up for a race taking place 9/14/08. I will make my contribution to the race thread when the time comes.

Eyedocguy, kudos on finishing C25K. Goddess is our graphs guru so I know she'll get you added to OHR when she gets here.

eyedocguy, I saw your post on the other thread and added you to the chart. Goddess will probably keep you updated from here on out.

we did week 6 day 1 today. I don't think my mom is going to be running with me anymore. she is going to stay behind and work on week 5 for a while. she can barely make a mile and we're getting into the 2s so... today was hard. i stared out too fast and y the end i was dying. my mom walked again. i'm looking forward the the end of intervals. i feel like its harder if i have to stop in the middle.

Ran W5D3 (20 min run) without Copper this morning and the hill went much better. Perhaps I just need to find a flatter spot to run on with Copper. At any rate, while the hill was still hard I was not constantly struggling with the desire to stop! Congrats to everyone on their achievements!

Guys, I'm sorry about the lack of updating the charts. (I'm sure The Yap and Meg have that covered.) I just finished moving into my new apartment, and let me say: DO NOT MOVE INTO AN OLD BUILDING. You will most likely have to jump through hoops in order to set up cable or internet. Lame. Until Sunday/Monday, I cannot update the charts. I have not had time to catch up on the conversations, so excuse me if this has been covered. Happy running and I hope to be surfing this site again in a few days. Carry on.

I've been gone for two weeks, and let me say this -- do not run through pain! I hurt my ankle on W6D2. The pain wasn't excruciating or anything, but it was painful and I was limping, and then, like an idiot, I decided to run W6D3 anyway. It didn't hurt (much) while I was running, but when I stopped, I could barely put my heel on the floor. I still don't know what I actually did, but in the interests of not wanting to do permanent or long-term damage, I've been on the bench for the last fifteen days. It feels back to normal now, going out tomorrow. Anyone who's ever taken two weeks off from C25K, where would you recommend starting back? Technically, this should be W7D1, but I don't know if it's that good of an idea to go from two weeks of nothing right back to a 25 minute run. I was thinking of going back to W6D1 and seeing how it goes. Opinions? Advice?

W6D2 today and it was really hard. Maybe it was the heat or the fact that I was dehydrated a little but I didn't make it.

Sorry to hear your run was hard, but my guess is that you can take the "maybe" out of your post and you'll have nailed the reasons for it. Heat + lack of water = terrible runs Good job recognizing it. You'll kill it next time.
