c25k weekly check in

So, I was curious as to whether or not to keep with this thread. But I was thinking there are alot of people who joined in at different times. So, I guess we will go until there is no one left to reply! lol.
I had a good week, but laid off of running to let my body recover. (plus its my t.o.m.) So, Hopefully back to training at the beginning of the week. I am looking for another race. I would like to do one with my hubbie.

How was your week?

I did W6D3 last night.  I felt good at the end of the 25 minutes so I did 30.  I am going to work on speed now.  I am only running at 4.3-4.5.  I would like to get up to 12 mm.  I am signed up for a 5k on November 13th and hoping to do the Jingle Bell Run in Columbus on 12/4.  After that, I will start training for a half. 

I am going to look into the jingle bell run. I am a lot slower than you, but I may do it too. Just so as we can meet! :)

Sounds great!!!  I would love to meet up!  I was supposed to have a meeting in Columbus that day but we only need 3 reps so I deferred!  We will have to make plans to meet up!

W7 D1 tomorrow!  Just a little over 2 weeks to go until my 5k... getting nervous.  :)

You are going to do GREAT! I just know that you will suprise yourself!

You will do great!!!  It was be your PR!  The races are exciting.

I am so happy the thread will continue.  I draw so much inspiration from here.  I'm going to start week 8 tomorrow.  I was thinking about running a 5k on 10/30 but I have not completed the c25k  program yet.  Any thoughts suggestions?  I hope everyone has a beautiful weekend:)  coco135

You don't have to complete the c25k program to run your 5k.

Go and enjoy the experience.
Make it one of your training day, do the workout and then walk the rest for your cool down.
Or just do another cycle of run walk to get to the finish.

You will probably find that with all the excitement and energy there that you go further than you think you can.

Just make sure you don't get so caught up in the excitment that you go too fast and run out of juice before the end of the race.
