OHR week 1 day 3

Really slow today... Only ran 30 mi s. First mile took about 13.5 mins...did that at 4.5. The rest was really slow... So tired today. Ran only 2 mikeda... Prolly did about 2.5 mikes total. Zzzzzzz....

OHR week 1 day 2

I hit 3.1 miles today! So slow, though. It took me a total of 46 mins... 5 min walk, 36 min run at 4.2 (4.5 for only 2 minutes), then a 5 minute walk. So slow! I hope I can get faster. At the 38 min mark my side started to hurt and I started feeling really miserable. The first 10 mins were pretty miserable too.... I noticed that if I can get past the fiest 10 mins, the rest doesnt seem so bad. Wow I ran for 36 mins without stopping. That's pretty awesome...

One hour runner - week 1 day 1

I'm going to try one hour runner. So it starts with three weeks of 30 mins runs (3 days a week). We shall see. Took it easy today..4.2 for first 25 and the rest at 4.5. I think I did 31 mins of running... Only did 2.8 miles.

week 9 day 3

i. just. freaking. finished. c25k.

woah.

ran for 32 mins - hit 2.8 miles overall. i'm .3 away from 5k. so close.

Week 9 day 2

I did it! Did first 28 mins at 4.2... Then rest at 4.5. Know.. Big whoop... But I was super tired today and it was a miracle I even made it to the gym at all! One more day and I'm a c25k graduate! Still not 5k tho... Did a total of 2.75 miles...I walked a little extra at the end of the 5 min cool down so I could hit 2.75. Close but no cigar!

12/7/11 Week 9 Day 1

so i did 30 mins without stopping. first 5 mins on 4.4 and the rest on 4.2. i'm soooo tired today. might be because i stayed up to watch american horro story. scary show, that. hopefully i'll do day 2 tomorrow.

i've been looking into other programs to help me keep this up for when i finish c25k. woah.. finish c25k.. i can't believe i'm 2 days away! anyhow, i started c25k with a phone app (c25k pro)... it was pretty awesome and i think it's what kept me organized enough to get through the plan with all the interval running. the nice lady inside my phone would tell me when to start running and when to stop. my favorite was when she would say, "start your cool down walk." i stopped using the program at around the middle of week 7, when we were pretty much finished with interval running.

i'm debating now whether to go with bridge to 10k (b210k) or one hour runner (OHR). the good thing about b210k is that we go back to interval running... i was kind of a fan because i liked the walking breaks. the good thing about OHR is that it's just straight running - no intervals. running for a long time without stopping makes me feel really awesome. i think i might go with OHR just so i can keep working on running without stopping. we'll see. i really need to work on my speed - i did a total of about 2.65 miles today. still not close to an actual 5k. not sure if i'll be able to walk if i actually run 3.1 miles. i'm basically running about a 15 min mile. this is not too horrible, because back in september i couldn't even run a mile! i think i'm going to work on distance and endurance first, before trying to get faster.

i can't believe i'm 2 days away from finishing c25k!!

Finished week 8!!!!!!

I can't believe I did it!!!! So that means I only have one more week of c25k left. Week 9. WLAN. I NEVER thought I'd actually get there...I'm the queen of quitting things. Wow. So on Wednesday I'm going to do week 9 day 1. That's 30 mins of running straight. I think I can do it!

Today I did 5 mins on 4.4, then the rest on 4.2. I think that's not too bad. After I finish week 9, I'm going to aim for actually hitting 3.1 miles... And then I'll work on speed. I'm probably going to do week 9 day 1 on 4.2 all the way. Omg!!! I can't believe I'm on week 9! Unbelievable!

12/1/11week 8 day 2

28 mins! 4.4 for 10, 4.2 for 10, the 4.0 for 8. Not too shabby! Overall, I did 2.5 miles in 38 mins. Not 5k yet... But working on it! Also am thinking about running outside, but it's usually dark by the time I get home. Maybe I'll try in the spring when it's a little warmer...if I'm still running....
