Installed the app and just got back from the first session. Anyone else interested?

Starting C210K and decided I would increase my speed a tiny bit each day. Also on Mondays I think I will still do a longer run so I don't lose my endurance.

So I didn't really get started good on the app and quit it about 50 pounds ago. Tried W1D1 again last night on an outside track (hills/turns) and actually RAN instead of jogged the run sections and lasted 24 of the 30 minutes. Hopefully next time I can make it through all!!

I slept in instead of doing water aerobics this morning...Raining now so catching up on TV programs later and walking on treadmill I think!

Oh I love running in the rain. It's the only time right now that it's not sweltering hot.

Learned my lesson this weekend... Running every day is a good way to get injured. Finished W5D3 on Sunday and on the walk home my knee started hurting so bad I had to keep stopping and let it ease up before walking for a little longer. I think I just overdid it. I've not been running for the exercise lately, I'm running to take my mind off of a personal issue I'm trying to deal with. In the past, running has always been the way I deal with stress. Throwing my knee out through my back out a whack as well. I've also been working 14+ hour days the last week which has sent the nerves in my arms and wrist into a tizzy. I'm a wreck!

Thanks to Fiddleman my back is feeling better. I order one of those bed of nails from Amazon and its amazing how much relief they provide.

My knee seems to be easing up, so I'll probably get back running tomorrow.

Love my fitbit! Here are my stats for the last week:

Take it easy and don't start back till your fully recovered.

Onto 10K & Speed. Week 1 day 2 done!

Boy it's pretty quiet here. Looking forward to the weekend. First weekend home in 2 months. We're taking the 3 yr old grandson and his parents to the zoo. Should be a fun day with family and lots of walking. I swear that little guy can out walk grandma! The last time we went to the zoo he walked the whole thing and according to my pedometer it was 5 miles.

Happy weekend everyone.

My first race is tomorrow! I chose a 4 mile relay. My son and I are a team, we each run 2 miles!

W1D1 completed yesterday during 2:00PM Texas Heat in a hoodie I figure if I can make it in that then it should be pretty easy in a tshirt in the afternoon Going to try doing it again tonight after the trainer kicks my arse. Going for my first training session tonight too. Trying to get in shape for Air Force fit test!

Good luck Rootie! I did w2d3 yesterday and ran at 9kph about half the time.

Ran a 10K race this morning in San Antonio. My fastest time ever. It was nice running a new trail, and there were some amazing runners there. Had fun and finished early enough to still have post run waffle.
