ShadowLion Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I am fine today. No lingering effects, no dizzy spells, nothing out of the norm. I am not sure if it was heat or when your muscles burn through all the available energy. (forgot the term) Either way... matters not.. I'm fine today and even managed to take the mutts for a jaunt. (super slow pace we didn't go far) thank you all for your concern, its really nice to have folks who care... ya know? I do appreciate that Good to hear that you are all better! 1 Quote All men dream, but not equally.

HappyCat Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 So I completed the first week of the C25K last week...going to start week 2 tonight.So far it only seems to cover about 2.5km so I walk the rest of my 5km although Im thinking I might run some sections of that too - its getting easier to run, Im not 'enjoying' it yet, but Im not convinced Im going to die anymore either (I vaguely recall enjoying running when I used to do it years ago) Quote HappyCat Race: Khajit Herder Class: Adventurer HappyCat's Battle Log Current Challenge: HappyCat Takes It Up A Notch Past Challenges: 1 2 Accountablilibuddies: Walking to Mordor and Back Again Where else to find me: My Fitness Pal Fitbit Habitica My life is basically a whole pile of 'It seemed like a good idea at the time' thrown together Link to comment

Well done on your run! I'm going to try it out a little before my bodyweight work out today. I was going to run, but it is rainy and cold and the weather is supposed to be better tomorrow! Thanks! Even with the little bit I have done I can feel myself improving! I ran about 1k today (late for work) and I ran most of it without walking, uphill even! 1 Quote Link to comment
HappyCat Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Made 2.8km before the end of the app today, walked the remainder for a total of 50 min for the 5km. Think I'll give that 100up program a go on the rest days from the BBWW. Something is off with the way I run - knees, shins and heels were all telling me I'm doing something wrong today (I suspect I'm unconsciously heel striking) Quote HappyCat Race: Khajit Herder Class: Adventurer HappyCat's Battle Log Current Challenge: HappyCat Takes It Up A Notch Past Challenges: 1 2 Accountablilibuddies: Walking to Mordor and Back Again Where else to find me: My Fitness Pal Fitbit Habitica My life is basically a whole pile of 'It seemed like a good idea at the time' thrown together Link to comment
HappyCat Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Another 2.8k with the app last night Im almost enjoying this! Got to work on my breathing though, its really holding me back.

Thom Stépan Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Very poorly, I haven't even got off the mark yet. RL issues.

Beaucastle Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 RL can be derailing. don't beat yourself up about it. Just accept what can't be changed and let it go. 1 Quote Link to comment
HappyCat Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 RL can really suck, hope things settle down for you.

KnitJoy Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 RL? I walked for two hours yesterday, I don't know how far. And then I did Week 2 Day 2 of the C25k. It was pretty difficlut for me and I walked a lot but I did complete it. If I can't fully complete the third work out, as in running when I'm supposed to, I'll redo parts of this week. I also found a bunch of trails where I can run! 3 Quote Link to comment

KnitJoy Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 RL = Real Life Yeah... Shoulda known that one. In my defense, not that their is one really, I thought it was some obscure running term talking about a running injury. Like L was leg and R was something. I ran/walked 4.6km yesterday in about 37 minutes yesterday! 1 Quote Link to comment

Beaucastle Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Sunday test "run" (I never did manage to actually run) with new dog stroller ... 1:07. Three dogs and assorted getting used to it steps added a lot of time to my run. They are not well suited for such a long distance. Will need to devise additional modifications for their comfort. On the other hand they had a lot of fun too. 2 Quote Link to comment
HappyCat Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Is everyone updating the spreadsheet when they do a run? Lots of good work being done, but dont forget to log it Quote HappyCat Race: Khajit Herder Class: Adventurer HappyCat's Battle Log Current Challenge: HappyCat Takes It Up A Notch Past Challenges: 1 2 Accountablilibuddies: Walking to Mordor and Back Again Where else to find me: My Fitness Pal Fitbit Habitica My life is basically a whole pile of 'It seemed like a good idea at the time' thrown together Link to comment
Beaucastle Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I can't access the spreadsheet on most of my network connections. I have not updated anything. Accessed from home computer... finally. I have completed 3 total 5K distances... (mostly walking) Spreadsheet says something about running without stopping.. but I didn't understand the instructions.. so I put my 3 in there... if its wrong please make the corrections for me... they all were mostly walking. 3 Quote Link to comment
KnitJoy Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I'm updating now! I'm going to do some yoga or MobilityWOD today because my legs feel really tight. My left leg felt weak when I did jumping jacks today. Quote Link to comment
HappyCat Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 How's everyone doing? I managed a personal best today of running 2.5 of the 5k...in half k lots (walk half a k, run half a k) Quote HappyCat Race: Khajit Herder Class: Adventurer HappyCat's Battle Log Current Challenge: HappyCat Takes It Up A Notch Past Challenges: 1 2 Accountablilibuddies: Walking to Mordor and Back Again Where else to find me: My Fitness Pal Fitbit Habitica My life is basically a whole pile of 'It seemed like a good idea at the time' thrown together Link to comment
KnitJoy Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Saturday I walked most of my work out. I'm going for a run tomorrow morning, before the sun gets up and it gets all hot. Still haven't achieved the 5k yet. But I think I'm close. 1 Quote Link to comment
