Thanks, and I agree. I think I did ok because I was doing a lot of walking during my trip but I feel I lose stamina if I go too long between runs. I'm now on week 8 run 2 and keeping up nicely.

Wow, I can't believe I can run 28 minutes, no stopping. I've had to skip runs due to vacation and work but I've kept going. For me that's a feat. I remember looking at posts when I first started of people who were in week 4 or 6 thinking they must be true runners. Here I am, nearing the end and feel...

You may want to wear a brace when running. You may want to have it looked at. My knee was hurting as well, more of a bone rubbing against bone feeling. I started taking glucosamine daily and my pain stopped. But yours sound more like a nerve being pinched. Make sure to stretch well after each run an...

I finally was able to run, my breathing was great and I was able to finish the run but my legs were tired. I was definitely slower but I'm back to feeling like a runner!

Well the vacation threw me. I was able to complete the entire run but I was slower and my legs were weak. I am to start week 8 in 2 days but I think I need to start it in only 1. I've had too many days off already. Any thoughts?

Is there a 10k app from the same people who made this one? I should have been finished but skipped several run due to vacation. I hope to be there soon!

I've missed two runs from week 7 due to vacation. I intended to run but you know how that goes. I'm going to try to continue where I left off. While on my trip I did an enormous amount of walking so I'm hoping that helps. My biggest fear is that I'll give up completely on the runs...

First, so sorry about your loss. Second, great job! When I first started I had days whether I ran more just because I couldn't think of myself as a runner, running a few minutes at a time! But those early runs we're crucial. I'm now on week 7 , running 25 minutes without a break and next week I incr...

Way to go! I'm on week 7 run 2, I'll do run 3 next. It is amazing how good I feel! You should feel fantastic! I hear the graduate forum has great ideas for the next stage, I've not been there yet. I think I'll continue to run for 30 minutes after I'm finished for a few weeks and then increase my run...

Ice is your friend! Ice your strained muscles and stretch them out often through the day. It may help you to recover more quickly. Don't give up! Post your daily progress. It will keep you in the loop! Good luck!
