I really need to get started again. Got to week 3 and my schedule got crazy and didn't make time to do it. I was really starting to like running. Gotta make a point to do it.

Week 4 Day 2 Outside 2.7 miles' date=' 35 minutes.

Tomorrow inside Week 8 Day 3[/quote']

Why do you switch it up like that?

Ps. I'm so slow. I do 1.5 miles at week 3 day 1.

Good luck!!!

Can you slow down Laura? Sounds like you're pushing too hard, maybe?

Ha, any slower Amy and I would be going backwards!

I'm just not in great shape that's why I keep repeating week one. And I'm ok with that, staying with week one that is..

After all it's not a race it's a "journey"...

Oh **** wait a minute it is a race!!!

Oh well, some one has to bring up the rear

[maharet111 544]

Done!!! I noticed a definite slow down in my run..about half way became more of a slow job while I was like OMFG CLOCK GO QUICKER!!!

I also ran outside in the sun wearing black..yes I am that stupid sometimes..

1.85 miles 16:46 average per mile

I am wheezing a bit..side effect from my smoking days, but I felt pretty good when I got done.

Woot!! Youre awesome! I'm way too baby to run in the middle of the day in the heat. Pshhh.

[deedadumble 1,033]

I have been sick and have fallen so far off the wagon I'm afraid I won't be able to get back on. Feeling better today, so I'm going to try to get back in the saddle and go find me a treadmill at the hotel. If I don't, I'm sure Laura will kick my butt tonight!

Why do you switch it up like that?

Ps. I'm so slow. I do 1.5 miles at week 3 day 1.

Running outside is significantly different than running on the pavement. I am doing my inside running to build endurance only and my outside running to work on form, going up hills, setting the right pace etc. Stuff that is harder to do inside. For example, Week 8 day 2 is 28 minutes of running. On a treadmill, I usually don't have a problem doing that. But outside, I might only be able to do 15 or 20 minutes depending on the course I am on. So I backed up to week 4 outside, but keep working on weeks 8 and 9 inside to build up the endurance side. At some point, I should be able to just switch to outdoors full time, probably in another week or two. I'm also battling a really bad foot problem and the pavement is really hard on it.
