GATEWAY TO 8K, WEEK 4 HAS BEGUN. COUCH TO 5K'ERS ???

Morning Yall

I started Week 4 of the 8K program and lord was it long.  I ran 40 minutes at 11 minute mile pace,  do you know that is fast.    The last 6 minutes was so freaking hard at that pace but I absolutely refused to slow down.   
My mind started playing tricks on me saying stuff like,  you ran long enough, your knee hurts, your underwear are up your butt and man it hurts, your ankle is twisting.   But I pushed it all out my head and kept moving.

Oh lord Yall.   I ate m&m's on Sat and Sun and I had cake on Sunday.   That is why I ran like the wind this morning.  So now it's back on track with the eating and working out.

I hope you all have a great run.

Hey Lee!!

I'm on week 2 of the 5k program; I had to keep doing week 1 over and over but this week I feel like moving on!
BTW ~ I did the 5k walk on Saturday with my husband. I am so motivated now! I made it through the whole thing...........I only walked.........but I did it!

Morning Talisha

Congrats on Week 2.   Can I give you some advice??  OK,    Stop doing weeks over and over, there is no need to, you do it and you move on to the next week.  I am not one that likes to get stagnate I like to keeps it moving and making progress.   By doing it over and over your stalling your progress so keep it moving girl.

Congrats on the 5K,  so what if you walked it, you still did it and i'm proud of you for that. 

Keep up the great work,  your doing really well.  

Thanks Lee!

You are so right. I didn't think about it. I was just thinking..........I may need to stick to this another week. lol :) OK - I'm on the move now!

You'll be happy you did.

 Cracking up at the excuses to stop! Seems like my mind can race through those excuses! 

I fell asleep on the couch last night about 11:45pm as we had an incredibly long day. Hubby fell asleep in the bedroom. We were both so tired he never came to find me and I did not wake up until 4:45am.

Clock was set for 5am! My mind started with all the excuses to go sleep until 5:30 and forget the workout.

Thought about those 'fried chicken skins' I had no business eating Friday and Lee's 'work though it' mentality. Ignored the little voice. Went in the bedroom. Cut off the clock, laid next to hubby for 5 minutes and got up at 5am and completed week 3 day 1 couch 25k.

Got those new tennis so I was just as bouncy as can be. Enjoyed the workout and being able to complete it. Right knee was quite so the left knee decide to chime in. Going shut both of them up!

Thanks for continuing to post your progress and encouraging the rest of use to MOVE MOVE MOVE I mean RUN RUN RUN!

Woooo Hooooooo Fionna  

You are rocking it girl.   Your right I say if you gotta eat like a fat girl you better workout like a skinny one.  

You are doing Awesome !!!!

 

You make me sick with all the running (joking) I tried running for 5min on Sat I felt like I was going to pass out and my legs hurt all day on Sunday ................I hate exercise maybe I'll give it another try next week

Girl pleas at a size 4 you need to sit your little bootie down.  You know I hate you right  LOL.

I feel that way too by my doctor said I need to exercise to keep the old ticker healthy       smooches
