Runner's support and Accountability

@kcboston that’s awesome! You did great, met both goals even when not 100%. I am impressed, way to go girl!

@eeyorepoohfan I have no idea how you do the stairs, and how you manage to smile before and after. That seems unfathomable to me You are killing it!

@10dedfish How on Earth do you stay hydrated with that humidity? You are amazing!

@acamm Holy cow that pace! Go speed racer!!!

Second run of the week this morning. Leia ran with me again and she’s getting smart with those treats! “Oh I get a treat for every time I stop walking? I think I’ll stop more often” not what I’d hoped we ran 1.5 miles in 21:47 which I think is my fastest completion of 1.5 miles so far! I did 0.25 walk, 0.25 run until I reached 1.5 miles, so I basically ran half of that and walked half. It worked well!

So glad I’ve been posting my progress here because I forgot to sync my Fitbit last week and it seems none of last week’s runs got logged on the app I synced this week and it goes from my run on July 7 to my run on July 19 :|

Way to go @starbee! That’s a great pace, especially with a smart little pooch Looks like instead of training her, she’s training you (the same thing happens with my spoiled pups too!)

Leia’s too smart for her own good! Great job starbee! Those “on your own” intervals are working great for you!

She sure is! What am I going to do with her? Thanks! :blush: I do seem to do better setting my own intervals, and I knew that to be true when I abandoned C25K last year when training for my first 5k. I was just so enticed by these plans saying I would achieve xyz in so many weeks that I kept wanting to try those plans. But they really don’t work as well for me as just doing my own thing.

@kcboston Thanks! I might be able to do better on my own but she needs some exercise. It’s way too hot in the evenings for us to walk right now so we haven’t in a few weeks. It’s supposed to be 100* today and that’s before the heat index! Any thoughts on when you want to run the next 5k?

@missingWDW stop being hard on yourself. Great job getting out there and getting it done! Proud of you!
