Good Morning! Yesterday I completed W2D1 and tomorrow I will do W2D2. I am feeling a bit sore today, but am sure that by tomorrow all will be well. Thanks for starting the thread Jill.

I am in week two, I actually did week 2 last week but I did it inside on the treadmill and I have decided I want to start running outside so I ran for the fist time outside yesterday, I decided to re-do week 2 since I am transitioning from treadmill to outside.

It was easier than I thought it would be.

Everyone enjoy your run.

Hi everyone,

I'm new here and started the C25K program last week along with beginning the Nutrisystem diet. I just finished W2D1 today. Also, I had my first week's weigh-in and found out I lost 6 lbs last week. I'm excited!

I finished W1D3 today! I ran Thursday, Saturday, and Monday outside on an asphalt running path. I really started to feel it in my shins toward the end, so I think I'll be switching to grass for W2. I hope to be caught up by Sunday.

Good luck on Week Two everyone!

Hi everyone.....
I did W2D2 today and it went well. I didn't want to do the run but I made myself and felt really good after. I had a mean leg cramp in my calf after the run, I didn't get to complete the cool down, so I need to make sure I complete the program each day. My husband had the kids at the park while I was doing my run and it was getting a bit cold for them so we had to get them home. I am looking forward to completing this week strong on Wednesday. Keep up the good work everyone!

Good Morning! I just finished W2D2. It feels so good to log in and report this! It went well and I am psyched to keep this up. I used the podcast on my ipod this morning and it was really enjoyable. This way I didn't have to watch the time so closely. I could just enjoy the exercize (HA). Have a great day!

Re: C25K ~ WEEK 2 ~ 1/28 to 2/3 ~ TRAILBLAZERS!

Whew, started W2 today. It wasn't supposed to start until tomorrow, but it's sounds like it could be nasty tomorrow and since I'm running outside, I decided I'd better get it done today. It was great! I found the first interval and the last interval to be the hardest. I don't know why. But now that it's over, it feels great. I still can't imagine being able to move onto the next level with only 2 more runs, but what do I know? I'm not scheduled to do the next one until Friday - which is good because I do feel a little shin-splinty at the moment....... Good luck to my fellow runners on this second week.

W2D1 this morning. The weather was a bit warmer than last week and it felt great. The run was smooth, no problems at all. Hope this keeps up. I thing I have noticed is that I am so awake and alert in the morning on days that I run, must be a good sigh.

New here! Just finished W2D2 . I'm doing the C25K indoors on a treadmill. My goal is to eventually be able to move the runs outdoors when the weather's nicer. I figured it'd be smarter to get my 45 year old knees used to the pounding on a softer surface first....

I completed W2D2 today. I had a little back pain prior to the run but fought through it. Good luck everybody!

I finished W2D1 today. I ran in the park and got a really nice breeze off the river. The wind chill was a little too cold at first, but made the second half of my run so much easier. I only hope it'll keep up in the warmer months. Good luck with the rest of the week everyone!

Hey all,
I completed W2D3 today. Yeah me! It was a bit harder then I thought it would be. My calf 's were really sore during the run and still are an hour later. But I finished. I need to stretch before I guess. I am excited to get to W3D1!

Re: C25K ~ WEEK 2 ~ 1/28 to 2/3 ~ TRAILBLAZERS!

Hey! I'm here! No I didn't jump off the wagon, but I did have one leg pretty close to the ground! Such a mind game this exercise thing is for me. Your posts managed to get that leg back up in the wagon and both feet on the treadmill! It's not that I think I can't do it, I just DON'T do it you know?

Well, I competed W2D1 today. A bit off schedule, but I did it! Not too bad, but I was glad to get off the TM and stretch and get some ab work in. I think a HUGE part that really affects my day is water intake. I feel terrible and low energy when I eat bad foods and don't drink enough water. Today I ate right (for the first time since Friday!) and drank alot of water and feel great...hmmm....why don't I do that every day? Oh yeah, I'm an emotional eater, that's right....break the pattern Jill...

Jenny, you did D3 already! WOW, that's awesome! Now we can all look up to you!

I'll for sure be here in a few days to report my second run of the week.
