GATEWAY TO 8K, Week 5 COMPLETE, Couch to 5K'er where you at

Morning Yall

I am glad that run is over for some reason it was really really difficult.  I think it is because I did not clear my head before I started running.   To many thoughts and to many opinions on my body and my life sneaked into my head this morning and I shouldn't have let it.

I am working really hard on my goal yall.  I really do not think I will be wearing the bathroom jeans next week like I thought I would but then again I might, I mean I guess miracles still happen.  

Now that I started running I have noticed that my belly has gotten really loose,  I guess I am losing weight in my belly area and I never thought I needed a tummy tuck but if this keeps up I will definatley need and get one.  

I am on vacation so i'm going to lay on the couch and watch a movie.

Yall have a good run.

Hey Lee!  I ran last night.  All is well in Couch to 5K land!!!

~Tel~

Good to hear Tel.  

Lee I can relate. My mind is on overdrive all the time though! I would just love for it to slow down, heck even stop and focus on one thing for a minute but NO!

My mind completes with itself to see how many thoughts it can reel through in 1 minute. My body will start moving to act on a thought and by the time it get to where I was going, like the next room, I gotta stop and rewind my mind to remember what I went in the room for because my mind kept going and has passed 50 more thoughts by then! 

Ok enough props for my type A mind and type Z body...

Completed week 4 day 3 of couch25k this morning. I peeped ahead and see the schedule next week calls for jogging 8 and 10 minutes straight. Then on Friday a big jump to 25 minutes straight!

I am stupid with fear BUT I will not back down! Found a little competitive streak in me, so failure is not an option.

Gotta keep going! guess this is where the going will get tough and my butt better get going!

Hi Fionna
Stay on course you will see that 25 min is no where as bad as you think it will be.   I remember that same feeling of how the hell can I run 25 min and this week I ran 46 so I know if I can you can.   

You got this
