C25k is not integrating with myfitnesspal

You can do it, Princess! It gets addicting. Im going every day now.

You mummas with babies please don't push yourself too much. It take a good year or so for your body to recover after birth and pregnancy - more so if you have had a c section. If you are breastfeeding please drink lots - your bubba needs their milk. Speaking as a doula and mumma of nine kids. X

As of yesterday, I pretty much finished the 10K app. Second straight W14 session (60 minute jog) and it went without a physical hitch. I had trouble with the 5K schedule - injuries had me on the shelf for a couple months and I had to repeat days, up to 4 times, before succeeding at some of the harder challenges. When I got back from my injury and almost completely restarted the 5K schedule, I blew through it like a hot knife through butter. By the tail end, I was finally feeling my limits but my doctor says (and I agree) that it was good to build back up to that. So I went from the 5K to the 10K schedule - Weeks 9 through 14. The shocker was that I didn't have to repeat a SINGLE DAY! I was worried that I wouldn't have enough time to build up to a 10K - but I've run 10K in an extended session twice! I feel ready for the races I signed up for (next week - plane leaves tomorrow). The more I think about it, the more it makes sense that going from nothing to 5K is a LOT more body-changing than going from 5K to 10K...
