Hi! Tomorrow I do W2D3! I will join your support group! I'm loving it so far, just got new running shoes over the weekend (Asics) and I feeling fine!

How are you liking it so far?

Okay good news. I got up this morning and did my run at 5 this morning. My pace was 2 minutes slower than usual but at least I was out. I had major insomnia. But man was it beautiful outside. The crescent moon. Snow on the ground. Though not on the streets. It was a cool 31 with a wind chill factor of 23.

Up to this point I have been running at a 11 min pace but today was at a 13 minute pace.

Is anyone having a hard time at this point?

Hi everyone! I did W2D3 today! Off to week 3 already! Wow, that went by fast!

Am I the only one running on the treadmill? vg251....you are lucky to be where the weather is nice and warm! Here in CT, it's already frigid!

Hi Superstar.

I run outside even through the cold weather but I don't like running outside when it is snowing or raining so on those days I run on the treadmill. I like running outside more. I run at 5am and it is quite and beautiful outside. But when I run on the treadmill I can through in a movie or music video.

To vg.

Dont be worried to much about the speed. This is my second time through the c25k program. I did it last year and found that if I tried going to fast I got injured. So this time I am just taking it slow and easy. I would rather run slow every day than have a few good fast days only to be put on the side lines.

Tomorrow will be my day 3 of week 2.

Hi,

I just did day 1 of week 2 yesterday. I am really liking this program too. I would like to join you all too. This is the first time I have tried this. I am enjoying it so far. My sisters have been running and I finally have jumped into the "running", pun intended.

I run MWF b/t 8 and 10 in the morning. The weather has been great but we need rain real bad. I am not sure what to do once it starts, but for now I am enjoying this dryness and that it enables me to get a good start on this new venture in my life.

Welcome to the group Vicki. Enjoy the good running weather while you can. We are suppose to get a snow storm tonight or tomorrow. I hope it waits untill after my run. I have really decided I want to run outside and not on the treadmill. So tomorrow morning I am going to run outside weather it is snowing or not. (or at least that is me talking tough now. Lets see if I actually do it.) I think as long as there is no more than just a 2 or 3 inches I will go out. If more than that I think I may keep to the treadmill. But I can not do that in the morning.

To VG. That definately sounds scary. Lets stay away from dangerous animals. As far as the early morning run the hardest thing is just getting out of bed. Especially on nights that my kids keep my up. But I can tell you that the days I run in the morning I end up being on a high the whole day.

Also to the whole group. Before I started working out I could not really do well in watching what I eat. I really was on that "see food diet." Have you noticed that since you have started the program that you have less cravings for all those foods bad for us?

Tomorrow I finish W2 - probably in the rain, but I don't care - I'm having too much fun!

run4fun - I agree, it is easier to pass on the burgers and fries and keep to the veggies and chicken. Except of course when it comes to chocolate...or bread....or late night pizza cravings...

superstar - I'm glad to hear you liked your first day of W3. How great that you can stay on track with kids at home. I recently became an empty nester, and work out of the house so my time is pretty much my own, and I still sometimes feel like I'm squeezing in some exercise.

vickis8 - how goes it with you?
