Am doing well with my running. have managed to achieve 5.5min running at 8m/hr so am improving. Unfortunatly my fitness is improving at a slower rate than i had hoped so i may not be able to do the fun run in september- its only about 5 weeks away. Will se how i go.

Am doing much better these days, am onto week 2 couch to 5km. I did not manage to finish- got to 12 min, but thats because my ankle was about to give up. My fitness levels have improved 10 fold. I belive i will be ready for the fun run in september.
My diet is also back on track so the weight should really start shifting.

Today i started the 'couch to 5km in 8 weeks' challange. So this morning i did 1min running at 8km/hr, 90sec walking, alternating for 20min. It was a real challange as 8km/hr is the fastest i have ran so far- am aiming to do 10km/hr by the end of the challange.
I also did a good strength training work out- all up was a 45min workout so am proud of that

OMG i am so happy! I decided this afternoon to push myself and see how long i could run for. The other day i ran for 80 sec and was feeling proud, that was outside on the footpath. But today, i walked for 1min, then ran continually for 5min! then walked for 1min then ran for another 1min.
5 whole minutes! i did not think i could do it, i just kept going. I think if it was not for my ancles i could have done better but they were feeling like they were going to give up on me.
This is after doing 14min interval training this morning so this afternoon i am feeling great. I tell you what, i really enjoyed my shower!

Oh, and welcome to my group Kate. I think having somwhere seperate to record how your going with your running will help, its always good to see how you are doing and keep motivated

Have found a 3km run on the 14th September. It is a run around the botanic gardens in brisbane. It includes the 10km run and a kids event. As i am not ready for the 10km i might enter the 3km. Have until the 30th August to register for it so will see how my running goes.
