I found his podcast on I tunes and it's a free download...can not say how much it has helped! I just finished w3d2 today and usually the 30 minute podcast takes me doorstep to doorstep but this morning I was a couple minutes from home when it was over so evidently I was slower this morning!! Still feels good was able to do the 3 minutes but I guess I need to kick it up a bit. How many miles are you all doing? My 30 minute route with the walking is 2 miles...at what point do I kick it up to 3 miles? does it just come with the next few weeks?

OK here goes week 4 tomorrow!! How is everyone doing has anyone started week 4 and have any hints?? Found on last run that my last minute of the run and start of the cooldown is all uphill!! Kept pushing myself through it and completed it but certainly wouldn't say that I could carry a conversation during that last 3 minutes. I'm going to go ahead and start week 4 tomorrow and see if I can do it...but am fully aware that there may be a "part b" for this week! Good luck everyone! We also have some rain heading in this week so hoping to hit the road between rain showers or may be forced inside to borrow my mom's treadmill....hoping to stay outside I enjoy that so much more.

Just got back from the gym, W4D1 down! I had to go a little slower during the 5 minute run stretches, but it wasn't too bad. Challenging, yes, but it was doable. Gonna try to increase my speed the rest of the week.

YAY!! Week 4 done!! Got out there early this morning to beat the rain that's coming in...didn't beat the winds!! My first 3 minutes I thought oh no...but stuck with it and actually was a little faster than day 2...ran right past my house which originally was my start and end cool down spot so I guess there is improvement!!  My only problem is with EXTREME dry mouth the first 15-20 minutes...does anyone else have this? I know it seems silly but very annoying! Signed up for 5k turkey trot which will fall on week5 day 3 so think I'm going to stick with the program but just with a whole lot of company!! Hope everyone is doing well and all the posts really help...I read them all before I head out to inspire me !

OK w5day2 done!!! It wasn't bad I actually enjoyed it...the first 3 minutes of the second 8 minute run is uphill and I just kept going telling myself at the top of the hill it's all gravy!! I love this program it lets people like me who have quit other programs actually be sucessfull and feel so good about myself when I complete each day! Day 3 is on Thanksgiving and it's a 20 minute run with no walk breaks...I have signed up for a 5k turkey trot that day (my first) and am hoping the support of my stepdaughter and momentum of the crowd will let me hit that 20 minute mark! Wish me luck!
