Couch to 5k program

[Dap8479]

Great posts, I am going to try this out! Thanks Ladies!

Yeah I could never take Daisy running either. She's the same as Sugar Car- she'll run super fast for like a minute then shes climbing up my leg to be picked up! LOL

I keep forgeting to report back to this thread. I'm sorry!

 

I did week 2 day 2 last night and it was definitely easier than week 2 day 1. I agree with Erika, that running outside is more enjoyable, but definitely more of a challenge. I feel like I'm cheating if I do it on a treadmill because it's so much easier.

 

Kristina, I'm doing the push-up challenge with girlie push-ups. After I complete the program, I will start over and do it with real push-ups.

 

Keep up the great work girls!

Did anyone start week 4 yet? I finished week 3 on Sunday and should have started week 4 today, but I was completely swamped with work. I'm planning to start it tomorrow but it looks really hard!

Shoot, I haven't even finished week 1. I think I am going to start it over tonight since I missed it since last week. My mom is home from the hospital though, so I'm hoping my routines fall back into place. Last night I didn't get home until after 8 again, so no workouts by the time I ate and then had to get a shower. It's on tonight, though!

I started week 4 on saturday and did week 4 day 2 today...it was a killer!!!!!!!!!!!! I tell you what...those 5 mins were just about the end of me!

I did much better with it for some reason on saturday than i did today...it is good though, feeling good about it!

You girls are doing so great!!!

 

I did 2.1 Friday night and it was rough. But i screwed up too and I forgot that after my last workout I was scrolling through the later weeks to see the outlines.... so I did my warm up, and started running, and i felt like it was forever so i looked down and there were 27 minutes remaining.. yup i started week 9 ooops. So I kinda tired myself out from the get-go.

 

Then I had a busy weekend and it's been a monsoon here so I havent dont anything since. I think I'm going to repeat 2.1 tomorrow night and go from there. I hope the 4 days off didn't derail me!

I'm actually DYING to go running but I've been so busy with work and now my FI's son started baseball and of course the games are during the WEEK!!

It's been over a week since I TRIED week 3 day 1 and almost died.

I think I'll have to do that one for two weeks...

 

GET IT GIRLS!!

You're doing great too!


So today I went to the gym to start week 4 and fell down the hill in the mud on the way to the gym, lol! Needless to stay I didn't stick around after that!

I'm going to go tomorrow and really start week 4 but I leave for Florida on Thursday, so I have a feeling I might have to do week for this week and next week. We'll see if I can get a workout in Thursday before I leave and sunday when I get back.

OMG Jill that fall would send me home too!! LOL Glad you're ok at least!

 

Your plan sounds perfect and there's nothing wrong with doing week 4 twice.. vacation is about rest and relaxation!
