W5D3x3. I DID IT! I made it all 20 min with no stops! I can hardly believe it. You guys, all of you, are the best. Keep up the good work.

Week6Day3 in the bag! I ended up running 25.5 minutes so I could finish 1.5 miles. I know it’s slow, but it’s more and better than I’ve ever done. I feel good. Thank you all for the ongoing support!

Hi again 🙃 I’m still here! Finished W5D2x3?4? And W5D3(more or less)! I stopped after 10 mins and walked for about three, then did the second 10. I’m encouraged that I’m not out of breath when I stop, normally just over heated or my muscles are tight. W5D3 again tomorrow!

Week 4 Day 3. It whooped my butt. I was unprepared for the beating sun and accompanying heat. I only made it running for about 12 of the 16 scheduled minutes before I nearly threw up. Had to take a break in the shade just to make it back to the car. Repeating the day tomorrow. No shame in my game!!

Week8Day1. I set a goal for 1.75mi, even if I went over the 28 mins. I’m super chuffed. I added a quarter of a mile to my set, and less than 3 mins to my overall time. I’m coming for you 5k!!

Is #sweatysunday a thing? Week7Day3 complete. Another 27 mins to complete 1.5 miles. Week8 days 1+2 I’m shooting for 1.75 hopefully under 35 mins.

Week5Day3x4 and Week6Day1. I did W5D3 again Sat bc I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a fluke lol. In today’s 34 min total set I finally got close to 2 miles completed (1.9). 5k doesn’t seem as impossible anymore.

Week 5 Day 3 take 2! I made it 14 minutes before pausing to walk for maybe 3-4 mins, then finished out the last 6. It was hard to get going again, but I did it! Hopefully on Thursday I can make it at least 15 mins. Content to stay here until I get that W!!

Another day done, and another red faced, sweaty selfie! Week 4 Day 2 finished. Let’s not joke though, I nearly quit. I wanted to quit. But a friend was with me and we were able to keep each other motivated ❤️

This is what W2D1 looks like on me. Wasn’t sure I was going to make it, but I pushed through. How many of you lovely people have repeated weeks?

Week 5 Days 1 + 2 complete! Going to hang out on W5D2 for a week before jumping to the 20(!!) minute run for Day 3. I feel good about how I’ve been doing and I need to keep racking up wins lol. Right now these runs are about the only thing keeping me sane, and I can’t believe I’m even saying that...

W5D1 x3 After eating delicious, yet terrible food on Easter, yesterday’s run was HARD. Didn’t realize what an enormous effect it would have on my exercise. Garbage in, garbage out, I guess. Thursday will be better, I hope. Also, question in the comments!~

Week 3 Day 1 completed! I was definitely praying towards the end of those 3 minute runs, but I made it through!

W1D3 done! A runner friend told me to flatten my legs up on the wall after an adequate cool down, to help further the release of lactic acid. Here’s hoping it helps!

Week7Day2. It took me 27 minutes to get my mile and a half in today. I think because I knew that when I got home I had to mow the lawn lol. Next week - 2 mi or die trying!

Week6Day2 done! It was overcast and windy which was nice as I got warmer and warmer running. 22 minutes on Saturday. Here I come!

Week 4 Day 3 completed!!! I may still repeat it, not feeling super confident moving forward. But, week 5 day 1 technically has 1 less minute of running, and longer walking breaks in between... I obviously haven’t made up my mind lol. Thank you guys so much for the ongoing support!

[WIP] My quarantine set up. At least now I’ll have plenty of time to finish before the baby shower next month that may, or may not happen...
