That is so awesome, I do W5D2 tomorrow and am a little freaked out about the 8 minute runs, and then the 20 minute run on day 3.

You are a total inspiration....I know I can, I know I can, I know I can.....

Good morning c25k friends,

I repeated w2d3 and it wasn't so bad.  Problem is that when I moved on to w3 unexpected family visited and stayed during the holiday weekend.  I planned to go to the gym and the track but I only made 2 of the w3 workouts.  AAArghhh.  I'll do w3d2 again tonight before I move onto w4. 

I realize I won't be ready to run/jog the 5k on Oct 3 but I may sign up anyway and walk/jog/walk the course.  I'm scared because I don't want to be the last one.  If I decide to do it, I think I'll still feel good about my personal physical progress and accomplishment in the name of my BFF who died from breast cancer in 2007.  There is a 5k walk in her home town (30-40 min away) on Oct 16 and I may do that one but my true goal was to run.  I'm still deciding.

Finally, I did get fitted for real running shoes at a running specialty store when I started this whole thing.  First time I ever wore shoes this big, who knew?!.  I noticed my toes and feet get numb after about 15 minutes of walk/jogging.  Is this normal.  I knew shin splints were the norm but this was unexpected.

        2011 goal                                  It works if you work it!

I did it!!!  I ran/walked my first 5k.  My time was 40 min 10 sec!!!  I was really happy about that.  I start week 7 today.  Hope everyone had a great holiday and will have a good week.
