League of Lizards Week 5 (and some Week 4)

Hi, LOL-ers!

Thought I'd give this a try. So who is starting Week 5, who's finishing week 4 and what names are we using (i.e. "Lizard" vs the one my mother thought more attractive)?

Lizard for now at least (ready for week 5)

All right, I made it! I will be starting Week 5 on Tuesday. Today's W4D3 run went great, and the first run of W5 looks really do-able.

I was nervous about the 20 minute run on W5D3, until I realized that those of us who've made it through Week 4 have already been running 16 minutes a day for the past 3 runs! The biggest difference will be eliminating the walking breaks... which I think I'll be able to do by the end of the week. I hope so anyway

Hey Fellow Lizards-

I am totally psyched for week 5, the first day of week 4 was tough but 2+3 were cake, so I know I can kick but and take names later. On Saturday, I found myself wandering Lowes thinking , **** my legs feel strong...it was such a good feeling

It was great to find daily emails from all you guys, helped keep me focused and on the ball.

You guys rock!

Yeah, lot of ****** off runners. Guess I'm too new to really care. I've got the League, the C25K, my Nikes...what more could a lizard want? Maybe a little sunshine.......but I'm sure that's coming soon!

Hey all! It took me a while, but this new format FINALLY allowed me to log in! Guess they still have some bugs to work out.

I will be starting week 5 tomorrow and looking forward to it. On W4D3 I actually added an extra 3 minute run to the end and felt pretty good. Then we spent the day shoveling snow and now I can feel a tinge in my back. Hopefully tomorrow will go well.

I signed up for my very first 5K - I will run it in February! It's great to have a goal to shoot for.

Have a great week everyone!

CHEERS!

Hi all,

It seems like everyone did really well with Week 4.

I completed W4D3 on Saturday and while I didn't find it easy, it wasn't so hard that I felt that I should repeat the week, so on to week 5 for me too!

Just finished W5D1 - after D2 and D3 last week were tough for me, I didn't have much optimism that I'd be making it through week 5 without repeating. But...today was great. I felt strong and I feel like maybe W5D3 is actually achievable!

York, That's awesome! Can't wait to catch up with you!

I dreamed last night that I was running and not timing myself, that I could just run and run, not struggle for every extra minute! Looking forward to that feeling while in my earthly body..

OMG! It took me forever to get to this thread. I am already frustrated with this new site. I think I am the only one in week 4 still, as you all leave me in your dust...:_|.

I am shooting for day 3 tomorrow. I still feel ok about the runs, not having any problems with the exception of the weather. I do have to say that a straight 20 minute run is a bit intimidating to say the least, but like you guys said, we have been running for 16 minutes, just with some walking thrown in.

I feel like I am going too long between runs. After tomorrow, I think I will attempt a day 1 of week 5 and see how it goes. I plan to look for a 5K in the late spring so I will get there, even if I have to double up a week here and there!

Congrats to all who are starting week 5!!! I want to hear how it goes!!

Hi everyone! Can't believe we're on to week 5 already! I just finished W5D1 and it went great! I even added an additional 3 minute run to the end.

I'm planning to run the "Frosty 5K" here in Medina, Ohio on February 17th!!!

Congratulations to everyone finishing week 4 - not as bad as we thought it would be!

Stacey - glad you were finally able to get on the forum! It took me a while too!

CHEERS!
