ValOrient Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Well the title is self explanatory I hope, I am female and decided to try the couch to 5k as a way of losing a bit of weight and toning up. I do a deep aqua swimming class once a week (think high impact aerobics in a diving pool with a float belt on) which lasts 45 minutes but have noticed that I put weight on far too easily these days! I found the first week relatively ok, today (day 3) was a bit tougher but I did it all the same. I am always surprised how the 8 run/walk cycles seem to go quicker than you realise. Here is to a weekend off, and start week 2 on Monday KellyAnn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValOrient Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks Trish I must say my hips are aching tonight, but I do suffer from Arthritis in lots of joints so maybe I have made them a bit angry. I am in pain anyway so it can't ge worse :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRoseWithin~Shannon Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I am always surprised how the 8 run/walk cycles seem to go quicker than you realize. I have noticed the same Val, and I agree with Trish ... it is challenging fun! Hi there Val! Warmest of welcomes! When you shared, "decided to try..." ... it made me think of Yoda. Sounds like your inner Yoda came out! He famously says, “No. Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try." You did better than 'try'! You nailed it! Looking forward to hearing more!! Cheers!
