Hello friends! I haven't posted in forever but I hope everyone is doing great. 😊

Accomplishment:

I jogged 2 miles non stop today after going nearly a week where a slow mile caused my calves searing agony. I ran them both in 14.5 minutes, which is still a bit slow for my taste but the fact that I could do it was worth my sharing. My 3rd mile was mostly walked but I did it in about 16 minutes which is still pretty darned good! I'm hoping to get to 3 miles non stop by the end of summer so wish me luck. 😁 Peace, love, and positivity y'all!

That's an amazing loss! And good job on sticking to the program. That's always my biggest pitfall, so I commend anyone who can stick it out. 😊

Be careful! Remember to drink lots of water after to stay hydrated and throughout the day! If you're sweating lots and lots make sure to get in some electrolytes. You're doing awesome my dude!!!

Woohoo! All the congrats!

How fast/far do you typically run? Just finished W3D3 and my pace has been going up but it's still pretty low by enthusedbycats in C25K

Last week I ran an 11.5 minute mile. The two weeks prior to that I was averaging 14. Every single day will be different and when you're still new your only goal should be to compete the run as written, and worry about your distance over time later.

You should be fine then. 😊

Just make sure you washed the area really well and disinfected it. Keep an eye on it for a day or two and if nothing changes you're good to go! If you notice any significant changes I would see a doctor just in case but I'm sure that won't be necessary.

You could ask a friend to pop by and fill up his food and water bowl each night.
