Looking for C25K buddy?

I ran today 5k somewhat slowly felt good. But I think I will do week 9 over since I paused and I don't think I will get in a long run this week. How are you guys doing?

[liv]

Ran again today. That is the first time I have actually run two days in a row. I know next week is hectic. I will have trouble finding time. It is last week of summer school. I did not run a longer run - just the usual 5K - nice and slow again. I wanted to have some time to do strength training today and a bit of swimming. So I did run three times this week but I guess I will have to do it over since I did not really follow the programme.

Hi

Just breezing through real quick. Haven't run since Thursday, and today TOM made it's 3rd appearance since June 30th. This is aggravating, as I had gotten to the point where I was only having one every 3 or 4 months... now, I can't go 3 weeks. Ugh, this $hit is getting old.

Nice to see you around Mitz. Hope you are recovering with TOM. I have some really hard periods going on now in transition to menopause. They can be really draining.

I did my run. So I am counting it as the first of week nine. As I am repeating week nine. What I am realizing now is that I am already talking myself out of the long run this weekend. Perhaps those longer runs are harder on me than I realized. I am going to make an effort to stick with the schedule though.

I am still running. Did a nice one today. It probably will be my last 5:30 in the morning run. My work schedule will change a bit come fall and I will be able to get away with running a bit later in the day. I think I will miss it. It is so quiet at that time of day.

I ran my 4 laps the night before last which comes to about 5.25 miles and takes about an hour to do. I'm going by mileage now and will get my garmin soon. Until then I am running certain laps. I was going to run tonight for another hour but I am debating it even as I sit here typing in my running clothes. I got ran into by an SUV yesterday and while I came away unharmed, fawkes still runs and doesn't look too shabby either, I'm a little sore and just tired. May only run two laps tonight depending on how I feel once I get out there.

You were on your bike? Yikes. Glad you are fine. And fawkes too.
So you are a one hour runner now. Congratulations. I hope you will drop in and update us about your progress. I am cheering for you.

Did my long run today. Yippee. I am going away next week. But I don't go anywhere without my running shoes these days so I am hoping to get some 5Ks done. It would be nice to run in a new environment.

Last night I ran the first time since the accident and it went smoothly. God, I needed that. My head was all out of wack from not running and I felt so good going through the streets. I'm happy I only missed one run this week so that's a good thing. Liv, didn't that long run feel amazing? That first 1 hour run is just suck a huge accomplishment and I'm supper happy for you.

Hi

Well, today was the first day I have run since August 7th! Yikes!

12 days... no wonder I felt so out of shape. The good news is, I was able to run for 30 minutes. I wasn't able to cover the amount of distance I'm used to in that time, but that's OK. I'm just mega-excited that I could still run for 30 minutes without keeling over.

One hour runners! I bow to you both... well done!

Great to hear about your run Mitzi.
I have been running on my holiday here. It has been fun but it is hilly here. Up hill running is tough stuff.
