Ran W8D2 on the trail with the dog this morning. Just about perfect running weather for me: overcast, 55F, light wind. Saw a red tailed hawk in the woods which was kind of unusual.
DigitalFirefly - Keep up the great work! Just think, you're running for about a 1/4 mile continuously now, something you may not have been able to do comfortably just a couple of weeks ago! And it will keep getting better!
ChupChup- Sounds like you're doing awesome on week 8! How does it work to go running with your dog?
I've been so happy with C25K; it really does work so well to get into running. Glad to see more people getting into it, too!
I had to repeat days a few times, and found that was a nice way to help my body catch up and get ready to move ahead
.
My regular runs are now 3 miles, done continuously- still slow, but chugging along. I'm doing longer runs on the weekends that I do run/walk style. Tomorrow will be a bit over 7 miles, something I've never done in my life before, but I know I can do it because I've gotten here gradually. And, thankfully, the weather will be in the 50's, perfect!
Keep building the base.
