GATEWAY TO 8K, I NEEDED YALL MOTIVATION TODAY, Couch to 5K'ers

You can do it LEE, but please dont hurt yourself doing it, so sorry
 about your heels, if you like try some Vaseline first aid antiseptic
 petroleum jelly it protects your wound while it heals.

It's just some worn off skin nothing big,  I will put a square bandage on it tonight before I run so I won't be getting scars. 

I hope I can do it,  I really want to bad but i'm feeling a bit down lately feeling like i'm running out of time.   I just need some midol.

congrats Lee!  you give a new meaning to the word RENEGADE!!!  i'm no longer a c25k-er.  i'm anal when it comes to my music and that podcast was getting on my nerves!  anywho, i still run but now i get on and get my 5 minute warm-up in and then i run until i psych myself out of it...usually last around 30 minutes!  keep at it!  you'll be at your goal before you know it.

Hey Shontay

Good to hear your still running,  I need a program so this works great for me.  But now that I have this nike plus I can run off any music and it makes my program for me so when I finish this 8K deal I may just start using my own playlist of music. 

Keep up the good work.

Hey Lee

You are doing so good. Keep it moving girl, you are my insipration. I was tired last night also but I pushed myself to finish.

Below is the blog to friends I sent out for the last 2 nights. I have gotten comments back that I am not writing as much as I used. I have just been tired this whole week. I have decided that in June, I will begin training for a triathalon. I will give myself 1 year to prepare.


Wednesday April 29, 2009 Couch to 5k / week 7 / day 4. I did a 1 minute warm up walk , then I jogged the full 25 minutes and then did a 5 minute cool down walk.
I have yet to experience a  runners high. I just experience tiredness and heavy breathing. I am just glad that I am pushing on. I have 2 more weeks in the program to go. I may skip next week’s program and jump right into week 9 because I need to increase my distance in enough time for the 1^st race on May 23^rd.   Thursday April 30, 2009 Couch to 5k / week 7 / day 5. I did a 1 minute warm up walk, then I jogged for 25 minutes and then did a 5 minute cool down walk.  I had to push myself to start but it went quick. I have 1 more day before I can rest. Saturday is rest day.  
The way to a healthy life is through an active life!

Sounds like your right on track Heavenlydelight

Where do you blog,  I have been thinking about starting a blog myself but I just haven't gotten around to it.  If I didn't care what I looked like on camera i would you tube but I don't want to.

Hey Lee

Let me clarify. I dont "officially" blog. I just call my nightly email to friends my blog since I go on and on about my excercise stuff.

I am not too technically savvy, which is why I have nothing under my OH profile. It took me forever just to get the avatar there.

i haven't done my fun 4 2day yet. seems i will be doing it late 2night after son gets home from soccer practice.

i'm using the nike coach and 2day i think i'm doing  3 miles. sunday is 4 miles though! i'm worried about that! i don't know why, though, i guess the thought of adding more miles is daunting even though i'm sure i can do it!

It is not hard,  once you know you can do 3 miles you just have to push a tiny bit more to get to 4,  i'm working on hitting 5 right now and it is nothing like I thought it would be it's pretty easy when I don't feel bummed out like today.

Andrea when you are running a 3k or whatever k on nike plus does it give you voice prompts?   I know I get prompts if I push the button but wondering if it does it automatically when you set it to run a distance.

yep!

it gives you voice prompts and lets u know how far along you are.

for instance, when i'm doing my 5k, it lets me know when i've completed 1k, then when i've completed 2k then when i have 2.5 to go, 3k complete, 4k complete, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters, and done.

it's pretty nifty.

plus!

i get 2 use my own music.

i love it!
