C25K - July

guest — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:28:02 GMT

Hi everyone! I completed W1D1 and I'm glad I re-started. I am definitely out of shape and looking forward to getting back to a good place.

1. What Week/Day are you on? W1D1

2. How do you feel? I did the run last night after a stressful day. It was just what I needed!

3. Have you had to repeat a week or day? Sort of - I started the program and went through W3 - but had to re-start in July.

4. Did you add time or remove time from one of your runs? I did add a few minutes to it last night. Hopefully can add a bit more next time!

5. Do you notice something different about yourself yet? Not yet, but I don't think it will take long

Hi Everyone! I'm a newby. Sort of. I tried to start in June - but I got very ill which was a setback of a few weeks and then the holiday mini-vacation I took. So I've decided to begin again. I'm very ready and I got a few weeks in so I know what's coming. I hope you'll all help me get through it, though!

W3D1 completed and it wasn't pretty. I was not feeling well (migraine began mid-day) and work is super stressful right now. Typically a good workout clears my head of the stress but I just couldn't do it. I started to get nauseous and pushed through as much as I could. I'm not a quitter, dang it . I'm hoping the funk clears and Thursday will work better. I'm contemplating adding a 4th gym day so that if this mood comes back, I have an extra day to fall back on and I won't beat myself up about it so much.

I got myself through W2D2 last night. I found it harder than Day 1 but I am attributing that to my funk mood yesterday afternoon. Couldn't get the day out of my head and even the gym with baseball on one tv and basketball on the other didn't shake it. I didn't quit the workout though.

Taurus: Thanks so much for your insight. I will definitely check out Runners World to get some tips. I've recently started to get better about my brown rice consumption but know that I've still got work to do. W2D1 starts for me tonight after work. Here's hoping!

I completed Week 1 on Saturday and I was pretty proud of myself. I'm finding workout motivators to be few and far between these days. But sleeping in Saturday morning seemed to help me. If only all other days were like that.

Taurus, I was reading your post and saw that you made some changes to your diet. Can I ask what your source of fiber is? (wow, I sound like I'm in a Metamucil commercial ) I'm having some difficulty getting my diet where it needs to be.

W2D1 starts tomorrow. Here's hoping I can get to bed early tonight so tomorrow I am very refreshed and ready to bang it out!

Went for W1D2 last night. Two days in a row was pretty tough but I powered through. Who knew that 4 months of no working out would set me back so far. But I'm glad to be getting my routine down again. I know it's gonna get easier ... it's gonna get easier right?? Next workout is a weekend workout, which my body seems to enjoy more than after work workouts.

I did W1D1 last night. I took it very literally and went straight from the couch to the treadmill. It was painful. But I just stretched and did the program as it was laid out. I didn't wanna add any fluff stuff to it since I knew I would have to do Day 2 today. I'm excited to be back on track.
