HI yep I am in :) will be starting tomorrow...no really I will I promise! This will be fun, I have not run for 12 months and I bought new shoes today so I am ready to go!
-
All you girls with new shoes making me jealous!!! But my old faithfuls are going ok. Hope your evening runs went well.
Sush - good one! I cant believe you were running so early. I am knackered and I was running at 9am... :lol:
Cindy - I sent you a PM with where I got my podcasts from, but google it, and you should find them too.
-
Great work to everyone who started today! And yay for more and more of you committing to the challenge!
My legs are killing me. I thought I'd cope well seeing as I cycle as much as I do, but I must use different muscles. :) I have to download some podcasts because watching the time is hard to do.
I was only intending on running once a week, as I cycle too, but have decided that if I want to keep up with the rest of you (at least part of the time) I have to do the C25K at least twice a week. So I'm dropping a bike session and running again 5.30am on Friday morning. :)
Seeing all of you joining up motivates me!
-
thought I would just check in, didn't really run tonight. Have been walking with a friend and she isnt quite ready for the running lol. Think I might do the three nights on my own until she is ready and then do 3 nights walking with her.
-
I think I will have to start Sunday. DH has to fly interstate for a funeral and will be gone tomorrow and Wed nights. So tomorrow is definitely out and Thurs looks unlikely. But hey, as long as I start right!
-
Ooh just came across this thread....I've been contemplating doing this for the past couple of months! So count me in too, if it's not too late!
-
I was up with a sick daughter all night last night, so I turned my alarm off... :rolleyes:
I'll try again tomorrow morning.
-
well tonight didnt happen for me and it is going to be way to hot tomorrow to even contemplate it but wednesday DP is home all day so i have no excuse (I hope the weather cools down by then!)
I have the pod casts! Thank you!!!!
-
Was up with DS last night a lot so forgot this until the thread - THANK YOU thread! It's cold and raining now, but if it's better tomorrow I'll run to nursery to pick DS up. 25 minutes... may run there, back down the nursing home street (3 on one street) and circle back to Nursery again.
Very scared of all this running! Pleased to see it's killing other people, I'll feel less alone.
-
Sooooo sore today! Lol!
And for every who is just joining - no, it's definitely not too late! Many of us aren't doing the 3 runs a week, so you're welcomed to join in anytime, as we're all going to be at different stages of the challenge!
-
Well I was hoping to do my first run this morning but DS hasn't let me! I've got to go out today and have pilates tonight so I think I will do my first run tomorrow.
In the meantime, I'm getting my ipod ready with some running tunes :)
-
How is everyone doing?
I just did my second run, in the 30 degree sun, round sydney harbour, and gee was it nice to round the bend, and see the opera house in-front, and fee the sea breeze on my face... But ouchies...my legs are sore...
-
I did my first run this morning and it felt really good! I did it on the elliptical at home so DS could play on the floor next to me. Doing my second run on Friday and I think I will try and get outside with the pram. Planning on doing the 3rd run on Sunday morning and leaving DS at home with DP :)
I've printed out the program and am crossing off each run, each week as I go.
-
Good one Lyn!!! I am hoping to leave DS with my DH for my next run too...
-
I did my first Week 3 run yesterday, and was struggling by the end of it.
I've found that the advice they give that you shouldn't be too puffed out is not really realistic - even at the most gentle pace, it shatters me. Having said that, I think it is important to pace yourself; I do mine at a gentle jog, I just can't finish the run if I really open it up.
I have found Week 3 a little bit easier than Week 2, I think because Week 3 is essentially 2 sections, both a 90 second run and then a 3 minute run, so psychologically it seems easier than five or six smaller runs.
-
I tried to start last night by jogging on the spot and walking around the lounge room - DH is away at a funeral so I can't leave the boys to go and run. But I was timing my self on my iphone and the battery went flat. So I did 10 minutes. And I did my Pilates weights class today. Hopefully I can still start properly tomorrow or Sunday.
-
Walked again last night, we have two huge hills to get up to come home, not looking forward to running them lol.
MR good for you doing it around your lounge room! Yay to everyone who has started!!
-
Well done everyone!
I'm doing week 1 session 2 tomorrow morning at 5.30am. I was sore right up until yesterday, but did 40 imns on my bike yesterday (usually a breeze but it was hell with sore legs!) and then stretched a lot after, and the pain is gone today.
I've been told by my DH that I have to stretch lots before and after if I don't want to be sore. And it seemed to work yesterday so will try that tomorrow morning.
