| from my blog as well...
week 3 of couch to 5K is not going well for me. :(
i did my 90 seconds of running, then my 90 seconds of walking and just couldnt do the 3 minute run. i dunno what it was / is... my calves cramped up like a mother and it hurt just to walk, much less run.
now, 3 hours later my legs are crampy, my feet need a REALLY good rub/massage and my right glute is achey... i did walk over 3 miles. 2 miles on the treadmill (31 mins) then i went to a new park to scope out the new trail. its a pretty good one that i will more than likely go to. it does have a slight incline, but i can deal with it. i did a lap (.298 miles) in 5:21.4. next time i will time the entire run/walk (ok, i walked 99.5% of the time). i may even go tomorrow ...
WTF????
i want to run ... i love the rush of running ... why wont my body cooperate?? and i'm not running fast at all ... 4.4 is my 'average'. i even dropped down the speed to 4.2 and i just couldnt do it.
so instead of c25k - this is what i did:
30 seconds running 4.2
1 min walking 3.5-3.9
45 seconds running 4.4
2 min walking 3.5-3.9
1 min running 4.4
2 min walking 3.5-3.9
1 min 15 sec running 4.4
2 min walking 3.5-3.9
45 secs running 4.5
cool down.
this is nowhere where i want to be ... NOWHERE... i am disappointed in myself and my will power (or lack there of..) im depressed. the one good thing - my eating was on target today! in fact, there are some "brownie bites" (that i bought this weekend and had 3-4ish), and didnt have any today! yay me.
i need to work on posting my food all the time - not just my good days ...

State: Quebec | Losing just me... there are days like that. When I started running I ran for 30 seconds and walked for... I don't know 5 minutes... it took me three months before I could really increase my run time. After years of abuse to my body, I needed to give it time to adapt. It was tough though!!!
I had a great run this morning btw... 5 km in 26 minutes!!! Which is a pace of 5:11 a km... Yep I am Canadian can you tell. BTW I lived in Toronto for years!!!

| Dont be discouraged
You can do it! Think how far you have come. Also, if you been able to do it once you can do it again - just keep repeating each week until it is no problem for you!

| yeah, i love it.
one thing i've found though - if i am going to run, it has to be in the morning. the afternoon i can barely get 90 seconds. bizarre!!

| 27 days left and i really need to kick it in gear. having my plastics so late in February (the 29th) really put a damper on my training. soooo, this week im going to walk M, W, F for a mile or two and Saturday i'm goign to try for 3-4 and see how i feel.
the only bad thing is that i still swell so horribly when i am active. but it's just something i have to deal with, right??

City: Brisbane State: Of confusion | The Nike+ is pretty accurate when you are not on a treadmill. Doing well LJM! You excited about the MM?
