Couch to 5K, START OF WEEK 8..... DOES SHE REALLY WANT TO HURT ME ?

Morning Yall

Today starts week 8 for me and it was a looonnngg run,  28 minutes can feel really long but it wasn't hard at all just long.

(deleted my issue as not to give it any more power over me)

Enough of my issues,   LOL.    My run was good I can't believe there is only one week left after this one, that is crazy.  But i'm so excited to be on week 9 and complete just so I can feel like I did it.   

Ok guys chime in and let me know how your running is going. 

first and foremost i know it's easier said than done, but don't let the negativity get to you...ignore her or come back with some snappy come backs...lol

now as far as running goes, congrats on the 28 minutes!  i started week 4 yesterday...it was cool.  i also did some "freestyle" running on saturday.  i ended up running 1.4 miles before i even knew how far i had run!!!

keep doing you...those bathroom jeans will be too big before you know it...;)

I wish I could just tell her like Tyra told the tabloids,  KISS MY BIG FAT ASS !!!!!    Why do people have to have in-laws,  why, why ????

Congrats on Week 4,  1.4 miles are absolutely Awesome

The new bathroom jeans are in the bathroom waiting for me to fit them and I just hope and pray I can get in them.   Right now I am a little down so it's hard for me to be really positive about them but I hope I can make my goal.

 

 

Congrats for starting week 8 Lee!!!

My treadmill is acting up BIG TIME.  I didn't finish week 6, but I think I'm just going to head to the gym this evening and start week 7.  I have to finish this darn program!!!

Tel sorry about your treadmill,  that really sucks

Good luck with Week 7  it really isn't very difficult,  just 25 minute runs all 3 days.  You can totally do it cause you are prepared from the other runs. 

Hey Lee!!  Today was a test!!  But I passed.
Let me set up the scenario for you....
I told you my treadmill is acting up so I had to go to the local rec center to run.  The treadmills are in the same room as all of the weight equipment and my back was to all of the machines.
I get on the treadmill and do the 5 minute warm up walk.  As soon as I started to run it felt like my butt was shaking like crazy!!!  I felt like everyone in that darn weight room was looking......but I didn't stop.  I'm so proud of myself!!!  It looks like I'll be doing the rest of the runs at the gym so I better get used to it!!

25 minutes....WOW I DID IT!!!!!

~Tel~

WOW TEL !!!

See look how determined you were,  you thought your butt was all over the place but you did it anyway and the is beyond great.   

Are you going to get your treadmill serviced? 

I am really proud of you for not letting your treadmill breaking stop you and even more so for not letting people watching you stop you.  

YOU ROCK !!!!    25 minutes  YAAAYYYY  TELLL

Hey Lee, I guess I'm going to get my treadmill serviced.  I'm going to make an appointment for Sears to come out.  But I actually like running on the treadmill at the gym because it's much better than mine.  We'll see. Maybe I need the motivation of the gym!!!

Switching up the routine this week.  Since I will be out of town this weekend for a wedding.  Gonna run Monday, Wednesday and if the running gods are with me early Friday morning before I leave for Austin!

April try to get your runs done while away from home.   When I go out of town I get up before everyone and do what I need to do,  but i'm usually up before everyone anyway. 

I know it's hard to workout when your away from home,  I usually make a promise to myself or some kind of deal with myself.   I'm a bit crazy with that though.  LOL
