Tina- W1D2 was pretty rough for me. Well I guess I shouldn't say the workout was rough.It was the getting out and getting started part that was rough. I had less then 3 hours of sleep the night before and after a full day of work I was simply EXHAUSTED. But.....I did it! The actual run seemed a bit easier then W1D1. Is it possible that I'm a runner already???
Ashley- What to say about day 2! I MADE IT!!! I felt like I did a lot more and felt amazing after it to. I am fighting off a cold as we speak and I still surprised myself with how much more i could do on day 2. Every time I felt like I wanted to stop I pushed myself a little more and in the end I made it to where I said I would. On our last running part Tina said lets make it to the light and I was dieing and wanted to stop but then I was really listening to the song that was on at the time and the lyrics said " I gotta get through this I gotta get through this I gotta make it ,gotta make it, gotta make it through. Said I'm gonna get through this." and I said that out loud Tina laughed but it works and I made it through the last 60 seconds of running. I cant wait to see what day 3 has in store for me but in the end I will make it to my goal and work on becoming a runner!!!

Week 1 day 1
Ashley- Day one was an experience. I never thought I would be able to run as much as I did last night. I made myself proud and is willing to go out again! Of course this morning my body did hurt a little but one I got up and started moving around it went right away. My sister Tina and I have set a goal to run as much as we can for the mother's day breast cancer walk in Philadelphia.
Tina- We did it! After a long day of work followed by a doctor's appointment, my sister and I put on our running shoes and got out there and started C25K. It was nearly 730 when we finally started, but the point is... we did it! I'm really proud of my sister who even though she was in pain and struggling to finish the runs, she pushed forward and managed to jog the times required.
I'm not going to lie and say it wasn't tough, because it was. I was struggling to keep up but kept reminding myself of my goal to run the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in Philadelphia on Mother's Day 2011.
For those of you who aren't familiar with C25K, it's a program to get you up off the couch and running a 5k within 9 weeks. The first day goes like this. 5 minutes of warm-up walking, 60 seconds of jogging, 90 seconds of walking (repeat 6 times) then finish up with 5 minutes of cool-down walking. It doesn't seem tough, but it is for this girl who hasn't ran in nearly 6 years! If we can do it then you can too :)
