Re: Back to start - again, yes again
Good work ladies! I know a lot of people would not think 4km is a lot but for me it was more about being on a team and the pressure that *I* put on myself that way. 4km is still a lot for me and I am so happy to have done it on this day for that reason. I am looking forward Scotia 5k so I can set that as my base time.

People may forget that 4k was once challenging for them too. One day 4k will be a short easy run for us, I hope!

I am determined to finish this darn C25K.
5 min brisk walk warm up and then did 4 sets of 5mins of running with 3 min walk breaks in between and then 5 min walk cool down.

Re: Back to start - again, yes again
Went to the gym today. I found it and no amazingly loud alarms went off indicating that I have not been there in months, so that part was good

Did a flexi bar class with the addition of xco (dumbells?). I have read quite a few reviews on how easy this was Not for me!
I made it through the 45mins of class.
I missed the gym. It is going to take some time for my knees and back to get used to be back at the gym but I do like GL classes.

How have you been?
When your legs get tired, run with your heart.
Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of your chance to be extraordinary.

Hey there!
I'm new on this site but your tag line attracted me as I too have started over with my training many times. Just curious, what has you starting over this time? Injury or just life? Whatever it may be I will keep an eye on you to see how it's going (if that's o.k. with you). I was doing quite well with my training up until a couple of weeks ago when I came down with strep Since I am not in the best shape of my life I lose my strength and edurance quickly so it feels like back to the drawing board again!
Good luck with starting over!

I am back at it. NOT surprisingly I re-started again. I am on 3. My health is an issue for me as I have GI issues but also depression/anxiety issues and I often let them get the best of me.
BUT am back at it.

Re: Back to start - again, yes again
Thanks Ken
I finished the C25k and am now about halfway through the 10K program at the RR. I am trying hard to keep my mindset straight as I am a lot slower this time around.
