naumom57 Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 So, I am on week 3 day 11, I think. I am 57 y.o. female and about 15 lb. overweight. I tried c25k last summer, but plantar faacitis, bronchitis, and tendonitis sidelined me. I started again in April. Oh, yeah, I live in Phoenix so it is HOT. I am stuck on week 3. I can get all the running in, but the second set of 3 min. I need to break up and I started running slower when it got into the 90s. WELL, today I went out, I did have to break up the last 3 min., but I added in more running. Fastest time and distance in many weeks. Slow going.....but it is going. I am feeling accomplished. Small gains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hi Naumom, Wow, I am impressed, you are doing great..... WootWoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naumom57 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yay!!! Today I went out for week 3 day 12 (at least! LOL) I was able to run all the parts without breaking up the runs. I forgot that I had a top with a pocket which is able to hold my phone, so I never looked at the time. I did it! My brain didn't tell me that I was unable to complete 3 minutes. I will keep doing week 3 until it is easy, before I move on to week 4....cuz I am overwhelmed at the thought of week 4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run4Life Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Congratulations on running the complete 3 minutes! What a wonderful accomplishment! Go you! I'd say it doesn't matter how long it takes to get there. It's important that your mental part is strong and willing to try over and over again until you make it! That's not easy! Congratulations on your perseverance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariel Detonation Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Awesome job! Keep it up! I keep my phone in my brocket (bra "pocket" lol) so I'm not tempted to look... Although I've only just finished week 1, so I don't know how tempting it'll be to sneak a peek at the longer intervals :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 In My Brockett?? Now thats cute, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariel Detonation Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I wear leggings a lot which don't have pockets so everything gets popped into my bra. My boyfriend coined the term brocket because he thinks its hilarious, and I've just kept using it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
