Screamin Knees - 5k Run - Is your time improving?

Hey Everyone,

How is the training going?  Are you finding it easier to run?  Is your time getting better? Are you running the entire 5k now witout having to stop?

Well if the answer to those questions is "yes" then WAY TO GO  Awesome Job

If the answer is no, don't worry...this is only the second week of training.  Yesterday I went to the Y for our session and the more advanced group went to the track to work on their time.  I am a few others are still facing the challenge of running the entire 5k.  I find I am not as winded but my time has not improved.  I still have to stop and walk for a distance, but you know what?  That is ok

Come on in and Let's Get Caught Up on where you are and how things are going.

Keep on truckin  (I have put in a request of OH to find a running smilie)

Take care,
Kathy

Hi Kathy -

My time is improving, but I still have to alternate between walking and running.  I honestly don't think I'll run the entire 5K on September 13, but I'm proud of my progress. 

Thanks for checking in on those of us with Screaming Knees 

My time hasn't even started - am about over the bronchitis though and got the baby's amgan made. So next week - no excuses - I hope!  Heck I think I can hack and at least walk!!!!!

I did day three of week three of the couch to 5 K today I should of started week 4 today but missed Monday;oh well! I will start week 4 on Friday. I am looking forward to the Y's training for the Thanksgiving 5K Turkey Trot, I hope I can keep up and am not the slowest one there. I know I should not care but after a lifetime of being the slowest I am ready for someone lest to have that title!
It sounds like you are doing great! I took two days off to rest my knees and they feel great today  no pain at all; I will have to see how they feel tomorrow, if they feel fine I will do Zumba if not maybe I will go swim laps at the Y with my daughter.

I would love to be able to run a 5K.  It is something I would never think I could do now I think it is within reach.  I really need to start training for that.  Thanks for the encouragement.  Have a great day and God bless, Penni
