Hi All,

I finished C25K about three weeks ago and I have been doing the one hour runner program.  I actually took two weeks to do the first one week of the one hour runner without meaning to.  Anyway, I am on W2D2 for my next run.  The last 4 runs have been bad.  I feel like I am going slower and it is getting harder.  What is happening?  I used to love to do my runs, I looked forward to them and could see my progress which kept me motivated.  Is it because I accidently slacked off and took two weeks to complete the first three runs of the one hour runner program when I should have only taken one week?  I am doing my first 5k in a week and a half and I want it to be a good experience.  I am picking up the pace and making sure that I do my three runs per week and I am going to try to start walking on my off days.  Any other advice?  I feel like I have hit a motivational wall ever since I finished the c25k program.  I was so PUMPED while I was on it.  What happened?
