I did a treadmill workout this morning because it's cold and raining here. It's good that I did, because I have apparently COMPLETELY forgotten how to pace myself. But it's bad that I did because it was a bad morning for music and I had a hard time keeping myself motivated.
My pace is BAD, but getting back on the treadmill is GOOD, because I won't forget to do it and now I've reminded myself that I can run whenever I want. (Also that I really, really need to clean up the basement).
Yoga tomorrow. I'm making progress.

FYI, I did a 5k for cancer research over the weekend. I mainly walked, though, because I had D2 in a stroller (and not a jogging stroller). Great time! Lots of really enthusiastic people at 7:00 am on a cold, rainy Saturday (I was not one of them at first lol)

Ok so my life may be in turmoil but......I am now running 6.9k in 38 minutes! It has taken me 5 months to get to this stage but I'm loving the new fit me!

Great work, Stacey! Do you have any races picked out in the coming months? That's the best motivation for me, a definitive date with hundreds or thousands of other runners when I want to run a certain time, or at least my best
I love this thread. Always makes me smile when I see it at the top. It's only good news

Still struggling with maintaining a sustainable pace, so today I let myself sprint and just adjusted my run/walk intervals instead. Did very well for the first two miles, was completely blown for the 3rd one so walked it and tried to maintain a brisk pace. Goal for this week is to only walk the last half mile by a week from today.
Anybody else?

Good for you maybell! I definitely find it's lifting my mood, I can't help but be pleased with myself when it's done. I can't believe I am now fitter than my kids!
Card I haven't thought about entering any races yet but work colleagues are trying to talk me into it.
And I agree this is a great thread!

Rpp I've never ran in my life and it's taken me 5 months to get to being able to run over 6k without stopping but it seems to be something new in my life that I can control, and am getting better at and can really see the results.
Go for it!
