Everyone seems to be doing pretty well. Good luck this week. Ran W6D1 of C25K this morning and actually improved my pace a bit from W5D3. I also noticed my total miles for C25K so far is now equivalent to a marathon.

I started going outside for some runs, so I'm sort of on two different weeks. On the treadmill I'm on w6d2, and outside I'm doing week 3 workouts because I'm still not comfortable out on the path (I think I'm still trying to get my pace and stride worked out). My husband now thinks his wife has been abducted by pod people, since I was up and out of the house by 7:30am this morning to do a run, outside, in 40F weather.

I'm running this afternoon . Hopefully week 8 day 1. Whatever that is, 27 minutes? 2.75 miles? I think.

28 minutes or 2.75 but hey what's another minute? Just went out and oh man...it was b.a.d. First of all, I think it was having 2 slices of pizza and a diet coke (normally don't drink diet soda) at 2:15 and then going to run at 4:45. Maybe 2 and a half hours of digesting time wasn't enough. I also went out without my husband AND without my mp3 player. Since I didn't have the man, I wanted to play it safe. Well, I ran for 5 minutes, had to walk for another minute, ran for 45 seconds, walked another minute, ran for 2 minutes, walked another minute then ran for another 5 minutes. Then I came home and felt like I had this HUGE bubble of air in my belly. It hurt. Hoping tomorrow brings better results!

I ran W6D2 on the trail with Copper. I covered the first mile with a 10 minute run and a 3 minute walk. I decided to kick into high gear for the second mile and covered it in 11 minutes plus some change. My first sub 12:00 minute mile this year! Woot! Seems like this a week for struggling in general as I read the posts. I hope everyone has great runs for the remainder of the week!

'grats ChupChup!

Things have been a little hectic over here with some family things, but getting out is getting out, right? So b/c DH couldn't run with me, I didn't do a scheduled day. Instead, I did a warm up walk, 13 min. run, 3 min walk and 5 min run. I felt bad that I stopped, but I could have made excuses to NOT go out. Hoping to do W7D2 tomorrow or Saturday.

Ran W6D3 and extended the distance to 2.5 miles though it took 30 minutes. It was pretty much an all out effort on the last half but I felt pretty good. I've done C25K a couple of times over the years and always time-based. This time I'm more distance based and it seems to be easier this time though I am definitely running at a slower pace. Still I feel much stronger at this point and that's a good thing. I see congrats are due to lots of people as the week has progressed. Awesome job everyone!

As congratulations of both hitting Week 6 *and* enjoying a run outside and off the treadmill, I got a surprise from a local running guy from Twitter, who was the first person I talked to before I decided to attempt the c25k. He popped into my work, handed me a plastic bag with a folded up tee shirt and an envelope with my name on it, and took off before I could even figure out who he was (I've never met him in person before). The note was to tell me how awesome I'm doing and welcoming me to the addicting world of running, "From one marathoner to a future one", and the shirt has some sneakers on it a racer number and says "Marathoning is life - the rest is just details." What a way to brighten up my morning

That is so cool! Sounds like you made a friend
