Take care and congrats on week 7.

Week 6 was the toughest one for me. I stayed really motivated while I was doing it, and since the actual race I ran , I haven't put my running shoes on once! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/couch-to-5k/page/2#post-1279550 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:22:18 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1279550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those of you still doing this - you're so dedicated!<br /> I got a big surprise 3 weeks in - an unexpected BFP! That being said...it's all I can do to go to the gym and walk, much less try to run! lol! I'm already prepared to try again as soon as the little one comes, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/couch-to-5k/page/2#post-1279541 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:20:46 +0000 plantains 1279541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mossyslane: congratulations!</p> <p>Is anyone else still doing it?

I really hate running, but I actually quite enjoyed it. There is something really peaceful about being out at 6am and feeling like I did something positive for my health afterwards. I will do day 2 on Thursday morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/couch-to-5k#post-1107389 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 10:50:06 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1107389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@math.nerd: Thanks for the encouragement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/couch-to-5k#post-1107334 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 10:31:39 +0000 math.nerd 1107334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to chime in with a little encouragement. I did Couch to 5k a few years ago and have run a handful of 5Ks since. It was so hard to get started, but then I started loving it! Good luck to all of you! Don't be to hard on yourself if you miss a day or two here or there - the important part is just to keep moving forward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/couch-to-5k#post-1107325 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 10:28:12 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1107325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I only did days 1 and 2 last week - then I had a bridal shower, wedding, rehearsal, day with the nephews, and cookout this weekend - made that workout a little tricky! I'm going to try again this week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/couch-to-5k#post-1103479 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 10:04:17 +0000 hellobeeboston 1103479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Ham: I remember that you posted this when talking to DH about signing up for a 5K a month from now... looking into this today - I think i'm going to try it! we BADLY need to start working out! </p> <p>we don't belong to a gym since we're going to be moving and not sure which town --- but to get from my train to my office i usually take a shuttle bus, i'm thinking of bringing running stuff and running through the city instead of taking the bus. it's only 1.6 miles. i wonder how long it will take me to walk/run at first... i'll have to bring a backpack to carry my purse &amp; clothes in... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/couch-to-5k#post-1097159 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 10:44:21 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1097159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm signed up for a 5k on Saturday (color run) and another one the following week where all proceeds go to a Children's Hospital here in town. I love C25k:)<br /> You girls can do this! It is fun!<br /> I did everyday day though instea of 3d/w. because 1) I was already some what a runner 2) I didn't have 7 weeks to devote to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/couch-to-5k#post-1097122 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 10:32:53 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1097122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Ham: good for you!!</p> <p>I'm definitely a morning workout person, too much stuff comes up at the end of the day and then I can never make it to the gym. </p> <p>Upped to 3miles this morning -- I'm toying with training for a Half Marathon in December. I've never done one!</p> <p>How is everyone else doing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/couch-to-5k#post-1095190 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 14:51:56 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1095190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heading to the gym again tonight after work for C25K day 2!

Good job for doing it last night!!</p> <p>The garage called me this morning and said something about shifter connectors or something being broke. It's $290 to fix it, so it could have been way worse! But they told me that would have it done today, and their shuttle service would come pick me up when it's done. Can't complain too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/couch-to-5k#post-1092804 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 13:45:49 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1092804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: Yay!

We have a color run schedule here in November (just over 8 weeks out) that I thought would be fun. I'm so not a runner though so I haven't been able to get myself to commit yet... :/ </p>
