Looking for C25K buddy?

C25K D3W5

Ran my 20 min without stop outdoors today. Yippee. I prefer outdoors to the track. I love the birds and the gophers. We have a nice path along the river here in town which is nice to run along. The track will come in handy come winter time.
It went fine to do 20 minutes. Strange. When I started 5 weeks ago I could barely run 1 minute. It is quite fun to be able to do 20. It was a bit tough the first few minutes but sort of half way into it I felt in the groove and then it went fine.
Next week will be all about increasing distance. BUT I am about to go on a trip and be away for over 2 weeks and I doubt I will get any running done. I suppose when I come back I will go back maybe to week 4 to catch up with myself. You'll be passing me in the meantime quo.

I walked out the door with my headphones blaring and looked down the street. I needed to go to the store after my run because I am a forgetfull mommy and my son needed a lunch. I usually ride fawkes to the store because that road is a slow upward grade for 15 minutes before going down for 15. It winds me just walking but I stood at the crossroads and dared.


It was a wonderful run and followed by a half hour walk carrying groceries home. I was grinning the entire way. My lungs are so much stronger already and I can't wait until I can run that hill to the store and back. But right now and looking for the calm Buddha mediation with a smile smilie

Starlet, how are you doing with the running?

How great that your run went fine. I have really enjoyed the improvement I've made as well. Now I actually can run

I did not run today though. Too busy packing. I am leaving tomorrow and will be back the 13th. I will check in on your progress quo.

Quo!

I only have a moment right now, but I wanted to stop in and let you know that I would love to be one of you C25K buddies. I have had to put it on the back-burner for the past week due to a cold, but I will be starting up again in the next couple of days.

See ya!

Okay, that sucked. The good think is I didn't need my inhaler. The bad part was not only was I running at 10:30 pm and did some guy flash his brights at me repeatedly because he didn't realize there WAS NO SIDEWALK but... my left shin hurts I'm soaking in tiger balm and hoping it's just run of the mill shin splints and not something more serious.

Oh I forgot one more good part about my run today... it made the soreness from yesterdays Tae Bo much better.

Felt the very beginning of shin-splints so took day 4 off. Week four starts Tuesday so that should give the muscles time to relax.

Sorry about your shin quo. But I have learned since starting exercising that if anything starts to hurt the best thing is to stop and let it rest and heal. So you are doing the right thing.

I actually got in one run here on my vacation. There was less snow than I thought and actually nice spring weather (for Northern Norway). If I get a couple of more runs in before I return I may not have to go backwards - but we'll see.

Nice to see you in the thread Mitzi.

I didn't feel nearly prepared for that run having only run three days last week. I did notice a huge difference with that extra day. The first 3 minute run was like lead but I lightened up about halfway through the first 5 minute run. No pain in shin until 15 mins after run. Looking at the runners books I should be fine with extra shin stretches etc.
