C25K

I started the C25K a while ago - maybe 3 weeks ago. And recently I've been doing it with my best friend who started 2 weeks ago. Since we never get to spend time together (since I'm forever working) we decided to do this together in the mornings. So, I back tracked and she kept going so we're at the same pace/set of instructions. We were bad and skipped one day so we're on Week 2:Day 3. I have to say that I'm proud of our combined improvements.

She's hard to run with because I don't know how far I can push her. She has a heart condition so I'm scared to push her too hard for her health, but I don't want to let her slack because jogging will be good for her! She needs to lose weight as do I and jogging will make up healthier and sexier... As if it's really possible to be sexier... lol? :)

Overall though, she runs well. She tends to quit about 20-30 seconds before it's time, and I keep going. I told her I thought it'd be interesting to test her without a timer that she could see just to see how far she can go. Also we agreed it'd be easier for her to run longer if she wasn't pushing a baby stroller that veers to one side.

And even though she quits early, she still improved. She's now running the minute vs. 40 seconds from last week. So I'm proud. And I am running the whole 90 seconds for this week. I feel like dying at the last one, but I push and I'm proud of myself for doing that.

Honestly, I would totally recommend this app/workout plan if you're under 200 lbs. I think anyone can do it and they make it so easy. If you're over 200 lbs, I'd suggest working yourself up to this by walking at a moderate pace for 30 minutes until you feel good.
