Ally4249 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I walk many miles in a week for exercise however due to a heart defect (fixed a few years back) I have never ran. NEVER. Today is the day! I ran the portions needed to complete W1D1. Feels good. I hope that since I do live on a paved bike trail and that I do have a treadmill (for rainy days) my chances are good that I will accomplish my goals of completing the C25K and of running my first 3K! Fingers crossed . . . JoeInLa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started my fitness journey the end of May when I got my fit bit Alta. has not even been 30 days but I am enjoying reaching my daily step goal and now I'm excited to push myself even further by training for the 5K in October.

Ally4249 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Good luck today! So far I have only had to use the treadmill once on this program when Tropical Storm Colin came thru last week. This was also my first time running on the treadmill. Previously I had only done speed walks at steep inclines on it. I did not like running on the treadmill however it's great to have it as a backup when the trail is not available. I did W2D1 yesterday ... It was a little harder but it felt good when completed. Push thru your first day ... You've got this too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally4249 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Back on track! Had to stop running for three weeks. RUNNERS KNEES in both legs! Uuugh Very painful. It took two weeks of wrapping, knee exercises, and meds to get thru it. Then I took one more week as added precaution. Started back today with W3D1! New shoes. Wrapped knees. All went well today. Fingers crossed I can continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
