Couch to 5K Accountability Thread
Redball:
W6D2: This is getting serious! And today was the last of 60-ish morning temps for at least a week.

So it is... It's actually the little airport next to my husband's warehouse, which is a 10 mile drive from our house (about 6 miles directly) and technically in a different city. And has really sketchy temperature readings.
Barmymoo:
Still no running, but I went to the zoo today and we walked a good deal - a woman I spoke to was wearing a pedometer and had walked 3.3 miles. We went round the entire zoo and did a lot of doubling back, so I'm assuming we did a similar distance.
They're actually doing a 5k run on September 29th, which I would love to enter. The problem is that I think I need to back at uni that day, and it's hundreds of miles away from uni. So I will keep it in mind and look into it nearer the time. You can sign up until midday the day before so no hurry!
Tomorrow night I'm going to a Zumba class with my mum, which will also help me keep up fitness this week.

I continue to be somewhat constrained by my assorted aches. Anyway, adding another orienteering course (I mostly walked) and 25K on my bike. I commuted to and fro. That counts, right?
nobo:
I ran an actual 5k this past weekend, and it sucked. My wife called on Friday to see if I was interested in running on Sunday. My runs had been suffering recently due to the heat where I could not manage more than 15 minutes at a time before giving up. I ended up doing fairly well in this race, but it was a struggle the whole time. Looks like I have to work on my endurance some more.
Here is a blurry pic of me getting close to the finish.
