The new couch to 5k thread......

well done rita!!! i cant imagine doing that yet!!!

did w4r2 this morning - had to make sure i didnt run out of route so did the walk bits a bit slower!!! not sure what i'm going to do when it comes to running for 20 + mins!! will habe to find a new route!

I just ran for 3.1513 miles without stopping. I am impressed with myself .

Did it in 35 min I think (wasn't looking too carefully at my watch) so that was 11.06 min/mile

Hooray for returned toe.

I am going to try and run 3 miles tomorrow. I hope I survive (or at least don't have to walk too much).

Canella - shopping is obviously good therapy for you

I"ve realised in my last post, I sounded like I was really depressed, well, I'm not. It's my body that doesn't want to run not my mind. And it's driving me crazy!

toe update - its back in!!! whoo hoo!!! (or thank f*ck for that we all say)

went to the shops to look for a top - thought hobbling might just nudge it back in and it did!!! (thats how it went back in the last time!!)

so hopefully back on w4r2 tom!!

vulgar - no point going out if you're really not in the mood - try tomorrow!

Aitch -i am going through a terrible low spot at the moment. Runs are really hard. I'm not sure if I've got a small bug as I feel a bit rough or the heat is slowing me down. Whatever it is, I can't face it today so I'm off out tomorrow.

On monday i did 22 mins with a couple of very short walking breaks. It's crap when you are not seeing any improvement.

Well done Nappy and Debbie in your races. You deserve a big pat on the back.

Canella - the toe thing sounds horrid. I hope you get it put back into place soon. blee!

morning!! grumpy canella here!!! toe is still fecking sore so no running this morning - cant believe how annoyed i am about not getting to run!!! i must be hooked!!

dh managed to kind of pop my toe back in yesterday evening but its not right and it had been out for over a day so its still sore to walk on! Not happy!!

so i'm motivating you all from the comfort of the couch today!! well done tryingtocook - rawb certainly makes it easier to time it!! i quite enjoyed the music for the first few weeks but w4 music was awful!!! not that i'll be hearing it for the next few days

I went and got myself an Ipod yesterday, easily downloaded Raaaawbert and did my first run this morning with him in my ears. Was great not to have to keep looking at my watch. Bloody terrible tight pain in my chest all the way round though.

Note to self: after namechanging for attempt at amusing trolling thread, change back before logging off

Oh yes, I could not be arsed today, just did 5k on cross trainer, which is rather a lot easier than running and only takes 17 mins

he is very speedy, it must be said. and Rather Buff.

I have days where I can't be arsed. Generally just don't go then

Does your postman do his round at that speed? WOuld be great to have very fast postman

terrible run today, was supposed to do 2x15mins and just couldn't be arsed. had loads of breaks. bumped into our postie who runs 10k in 42 mins who assured me that sometimes this happens. has it happened to any of you?

Hello

Have been plodding along with my longer training but felt I was getting slower so decided to do W1 with Rawb again today, but really make myself run in the running parts. Hard to tell exactly how far I went in the running parts but managed to co-incide with crossing over side roads for some and managed about 7.5 min/mile in some of them

As I seem to be doing about 11.5 to 12 min/mile when doing longer running that felt good

Thank you - I have now found the MP3 tab and am trying to open but there is still a fault.

GGGGRRRRRR!

that should say my son's MP3 player

PLease, please help me! I am getting very frustrated. Why can I not download the podcast thingy on to my sone MP3 player. Please excuse me for sounding silly, but I have never used one of these before let alone downloaded anything on to it.

I did week 2 run 1 this morning and it is driving me mad having to look at my watch all the time to work out when to jog and when to walk. It would be so nice to listen to music too to take my mind of my stitch! LOL!

dh not back till after 5 - he's a doc but not the orthopaedic kind!! maybe he can sort it!! we've just moved to germany as well and i've no idea how the hospital system works - hope they've got some kind of A&E i can go to!!!

the instant it goes back in its painfree but i need a crystal ball to guess when that might be - its too fecking sore to put it in myself!!!

Oooooooh, ouch!
When is your Dh back? Do you need him to pop it back in?

oh fecking nora - i've dislocated my little toe!!!!!! this is the fourth time its happened but the first time this summer!!!!

it sooooooo sore!!! and i cant get it to pop back in!!! just wanted to moan about it!!! will hobble around till dh gets back!

once its back in its painfree so hopefully it'll be right before my next run on weds!!
