couch to 5k check in week 3

Okay How did we do?

Day 2 25 minute fast walk 1.33
Day 3 doing it today
Target Race I am actively looking for the right race. Hoping for early to mid Oct.
Maybe the Dayton River Corridor Classic or Children's Miracle Network Charity Run

So, this week I had both ankles swell on Saturday and had to rest them a few days. I am using 2 ankle braces and still doing my zumba kickboxing routine. I walked on Wednesday and plan to try to get back into the walk jog routine this morning. I am trying to be careful not to injure my ankles.  I will just keep at it until I conquer it! How about You?    ~Chakara

Remember it is not about how fast we get there, it is all about the finish!

I did week 3, I still have day 3 to do. I got behind bc I spent two days a****er/theme parks. Boy, my legs were jello today from the 13 hours in the parks over the last two days, but I did it this morning!! It was hard but glad I did it.

I've done the 28 min 1.65 mile workout, also did elliptical and cycle on off days.

I am LOVIN' the iphone app and listen to music instead of timing it myself on the treadmill. Time goes by faster and its easier to run for the 3 min one.

Have about five people at work doing it now. I think its funny.lol

You are really doing fantastic!!! Have you chosen a race yet? I am a little jealous that I don't have an i phone =) I am hoping to be "takin' it to the streets" soon! I am waiting for these horribly hot days to end ;-) I am thinking outdoors, the time will go a little faster. I am going to look into that website today. Are you a member?
Keep on truckin!

Yes, I'm on dailymile and it posts to my fb, if you are on there too. I think I've caught the running bug!! I know I need to rest tomorrow and I don't even want to! lol.

No, I'm going to look up races too. Walk from Obesity is Sept 25th, but are people just walking in it? or running too? 

by the way, are you doing dailymile?? Its like fb and you post your workouts. check it out.

Hi ladies, I got a little sidetracked last week and didn't work out (boo, me!).  I just did the 3rd day of week 2 yesterday but I plan on doing the week 3 for the next three days so I will be caught up with you next week.

I have the iphone app for c2k and have some music which makes it really nice but I have not yet mastered the other apps I have for distance.  I will get there, in the meantime, I must say again that I am glad you started this challenge.

 

Alright!!! Yeah for you getting back on track! I am so glad that so many people are doing this together! I am stoked to have people who i am accountable to each wee****ep on keeping on!

I think its great that you are back on track, but don't over do. You'll legs need some rest in there too. I am a day behind bc of vacay and I'm going to just take it easy. I'd rather be a day late than over do and have to sit at a week, you know?

I am moving on to W5d1 today.  Hopefully, I can get through the whole thing.  I felt good with w4d3.  I wanted to keep going. 

Got an email today about the race I was supposed to do on 8/22.  It has been moved to 9/4.  Kind of good news/bad news.  I really wanted to run a race before my birthday on 8/24 (the big 5-0) but it will give me almost two more weeks of training plus put me in a different age bracket.  Oh,well.

Hope everyone has a great week!!

Good for you!  I am sorry to hear about your race. Maybe the extra training will be beneficial. I will be glad to hear how w5 goes. Keep at it!
