Week 9 Run 1 done - Two more runs to go!

[Sherbear1979]

Yesterday completed W9R1 and it went well. Fell into a good rhythm and breathing was good. I find it amazing that I can run for 30 whole minutes without stopping or dying, lol.

I decided to stray from my trusted walking/running path and hit the sidewalks in my neighbourhood for a change of pace. The only thing is that the sidewalks are very uneven and I found when I got home that my ankle was hurting a bit, I guess from the unlevel ground. I iced it and elevated it right away but I still feel a slight twinge today but not really pain.

I'm praying that by Wednesday it feels fine so I can continue on with run 2. I'm so close and I really, really want to graduate this week. We have a camping trip planned on the weekend so (fingers crossed) hopefully Friday will be the graduation run.

Hope everyone's week is going well.

So close Sherbear. Just take it steady, you said the important thing, 'you want to graduate' and you all but did that today.

Best of luck for the next two runs, I am right behind you (Graduate on Saturday morning with a bit of luck )

Thank you and good luck to you on Saturday. If all things go well, we'll be graduates come this time next week, crazy!

Hi - I will be doing week 9 run 2 on Wednesday and hopefully graduating on Friday too. Sounds like your week 9 run 1 went better than mine - I must admit I struggled, its funny how some runs just dont go well!

What are your plans after graduating?

[Sherbear1979 Graduate in reply to Lingmell]

Hey it's nice to know someone will be graduating the same day as me. Yeah, I never know what kind of run I'm gonna get when I start out. In week 8 I had a run where I felt so bad that I wondered if that's what people feel like before they have a heart attack, lol. Then the next couple of runs were fine, I don't understand it.

Not sure what I'm going to do after graduation. I'm thinking of just doing the 30 mins for a week or so and then maybe slowly increasing one of the weekly runs until I can get to 5K. Then after that who knows, the sky's the limit I suppose. What about you?

Well good luck to us both on Friday and if all goes well, we'll be heading into the weekend as C25K graduates! Yay for us!
