WOOT look at your progress Shan! 1/2 inch is a HUGE HUGE HUGE win, that's like half a jeans size.

::does a cheesy tootsy roll dance in a circle for you::

:):):):):)

I want to start doing my First Day to 5k again....whether I will or not is another story. But at least I WANT to at this point, AND I found my iPod so I'm already one step ahead. :)

Haha, "tootsy roll dance"! I just got a mental picture of you doing that, and I literally LOL'd :)

Great job, Shan! It's working!

I did one of these 5K programs last year (the one from runnersworld.com), and I got great results. By the end, I was able to run it in about 27 minutes, which is really fast for me (I suck at running, always have). I also noticed my legs toned up a lot.

ugh i'm still getting over this cold, so i don't think i'll be running again until wednesday. but when i do, i'm forging ahead to week 3 (workout #7)!

the good news is that i weighed in at .5 lb less than last week. i'm just glad i didn't gain considering i missed so many workouts last week!

sigh, i'll be happy if i can work my way up to running at all for 27 minutes straight, regardless of speed...

Jamichael... I hear you!! 

Well ladies.... with the stress at work and other factors.... I have NOT ran since last friday.... grrr.... double grrr

i haven't either, shan!

well, on tuesday i was still fighting off my cold but felt guilty for not working out, so i did the week 3 run in my living room... no treadmill, just jogged in place :p. during the walking sections, i marched in place.

but tomorrow i will do it for real definitely!

Looks like you guys are making some great progress!! And even if other dropped off on this, you still have eachother ;)

whew! i completed workout #7 today! i was so so close to giving up at the very end, but i pushed through it.

i'll definitely have to do this one two more times before moving on, so i'm aiming to do it this coming sunday and tuesday...

way to go!!! I wrote off this week... i'm starting on Sunday/Monday!! 

It's Sunday.... which means its time for another weight in! 

Since I completely wrote off this week, I'm not going to start a new thread until I actually move on to Week Four's workout... 

HELLO STRESS!!! I have not dropped 2 pounds because of hard work and healthy living practices... its all the stress I am dealing with at work. The stress has been making my tummy feel upside down and quite upset. I am trying to change the way I handle stress, however its hard work! 

So goals this week.... finish the one run form week two and the three runs from week three, maintain drinking water, keep alcohol bev's to a two drink maximum, and refrain from ordering take-out :)
