Couch to 5K Accountability Thread

Redball:
What an accomplishment! If this C25K chapter was a contest, you won! In fact, I'm thinking of resuming a C25K program, and I"ll take all the encouragement I can get.

lepetitfromage:
I'll give you some more- you can do it!! :-)

Good luck to anyone contemplating a couch to 25K program!!

I have been a bit busy with the semester starting (and my sleep schedule out of wack), so I have missed most of the cycling I was hoping to do (rain, rain go away...). But our 35+ floorball gang of local dudes started yet another season. Meaning I'm getting 3 hours of fun cardio per week (2 hours with them, one hour with the younger dudes at work). I also started going to gym. It's been only a week and half so too soon to tell, if I can continue to fit it into my schedule. Anyway, the last couple of Wednesdays have put a lot of strain on my joints (knees in particular) given that I have first done an orienteering course in the late afternoon, and then floorball in the evening. In early September I tipped the scale at 110+kg, but last Wednesday I got a reading of 108.6 and tonight a 107.4!!!!! Ok, so I was horribly dehydrated after the days workout, but THE TREND HAS TURNED. The first goal is to keep this up. The second goal is to get back below 100 (I was there two years ago). To be on the safe side I should set a target in the low nineties (which is what I weighed in my early thirties), but I'm not gonna rush things.

And I gave myself an imperial pint of beer as a reward. That may have negated some of the days work, but ...

The sad thing is that orienteering season is drawing to a close. I may try night time orienteering once or twice, which should be fun.

I haven't been running yet, I am exhausted all the time at the moment, but I'm still doing a lot of walking while my bike is stuck (found another place that might cut the lock off, but would involve carrying the bike, locked, for twenty minutes across the centre of town) and last night I carried £35 of shopping home in four very heavy bags and I feel like I've run a marathon.

Running will 100% start again some day. Some day when I do not ache in every muscle of my body.

Barmymoo:
Running restarts tomorrow! I have some headphones, although they are not perfect, and I have all the requisite clothes. I am going to run off all the biscuits I've eaten this week.
