Heading out now good job ruthie

I'm done. W7D1 in the bag. Now it's your turn Sean

Good morning! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the US. I will be doing w4d2 tomorrow and am loving this program. I'm so shocked that I'm actually able to do it. I sit all day at my job, was diagnosed with high BP 2 years ago and have gained about 20 lbs in those last 2 yrs. My motivation is to get off BP medication! Losing weight will be the icing on the cake. I enjoy reading these forums and look forward to chatting/encouraging with all of you more. ~CeCe

I survived! It was pretty wonderful. Hard, but wonderful lol. I had to walk for a minute at about 2.2 miles, and for thirty seconds just under 3. I have work to do, but happy I did it. My time was 33:32.3, which I had a quiet secret goal of 33 minutes. I'll take it.

w5d1 done and piggy backed on the end with bit of running through cool down and warm up was a repeat of w2d1 so for a total ofv3.7 miles in about an hr at one point map my run said split time 2 miles per hr. Anyway it was a good run vasaline kept my face warm a scarf kept the inside of my nose warm but i just cant breath whith scarves on even just walking around i need to find a way to keep the inside of my nose from being so painfull in the cold. feeling good and happy and hungry going for some peanut butter flax and semi sweet choc chips

I'm done with it. Felt great. Neck and neck still. Not a race. But I do like the accountability. As I'm running I'm thinking. "I can't get back on just to tell ruthie I didn't finish" haha. But It's cool because I know I have more in me when it's time to stop. Saturday morning is my next run

I mean 5k. A 9 miler is far from a test run. That is most definately my long run day

gearing up to start week 5 sometime this morning

Had some improvement today. Knee is barely hurting. Did 30 minutes on the stationary bike. Still doing full physical therapy exercises every day and planning to try a test run on Friday.

This is just fine. You may have to rethink it later if you start running marathons or Triathlons but that's just fine

11/25/15 Wednesday W8D3 I did it! I made it! I was groaning in anticipation last night about running 3 days in a row but I was desperate to run as many days early in the week as I can "just in case" something happens later. It was a nice 64 degrees today, up from 51 yesterday, and I pushed myself near the end because I wanted my last c25k run to be my best. I went down two side streets to end up at "The Cool Down Point" at the right time so I tackled more hills than I do normally. I even put on a burst of speed at the end (something I haven't been doing). Calculating my time, it still seems like it'd take me 55 minutes for me to finish a 5k. I'm going to work on faster intervals. Have a happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

my breakfast is my downfall i eat 2 slices of wheat toast with butter after i have 8 oz of lemon water then 1 cup coffee with a splash of 1% milk i measured it once it is about 1/4 cup milk then i drink 16 oz oolong tea if i am going running before work it will be 2 hrs before i get to run if a weekend it will be more like 3. when im done i either have an egg with slice of cheese or my peanut butter flax thing. I try for 9 glasses of water a day

Alright...i am running bright and early (if my back lets me...)...

Linita&i, for 30-45 minutes after you run, your muscles are able to intake glucose from the bloodstream without using insulin. If you want a sugary snack, the best time to intake is right after a workout. Protein and carbs are great after a workout. Azatol is right where you don't want to intake before running (remember the "waiting an hour for swimming after eating?") because it can make you sick. Also, being cold doesn't cause you to get sick. There are studies were scientists put one group's feet in cold water and then inoculated them with virus. They did not get sick more than the control group (people who were not made cold). The reason why people get common cold and flu more often during the cold weather is due to the drop in humidity. Cold and flu virus spread easier. Most people stay indoors out of the cold and therefore spread the virus around the house more and to housemates. Lastly, there is a lot of international travel at this time of the year. You are likely to meet family who traveled on a plane who transited through a few airports coming into contact with many travelers.
