It was a bit too small to actually wrap but calling it a taco feels disrespectful 😅 Anyway, suuuper crispy extra firm tofu tossed in buffalo sauce—on top of spring mix, sprouts, carrots, green onion and hummus—wrapped in a roti.

Week 7 was the first time that I actually dreaded running and I'm finding it hard to get that motivation to continue. I was feeling on top of it after W5D3. Breezed through week 6. Week 7 was an uphill battle and I truly felt like I couldn't do it. I completed it 12 days ago and just haven't gone back to move on to Week 8.
I've taken a break from the program and have been focusing on increasing my outdoor running time (I've been doing most of the program on the treadmill). Outdoor running is a lot more intense for me, especially this time of year! Started at 13 minutes and worked my way up to 15, which feels good. Also been getting back to strength training, which I honestly haven't done in several weeks.
I really would like to be able to run a 5k. That's been a goal of mine for a while and this is the first time I've ever consistently been running. Do I keep going with the program? Do I keep Week 8 on pause and continue to focus on running outside? Or a little of both? Any tips or advice from other folks who've stalled out or hit a wall? I want to keep going, but I hate feeling defeated. Makes my goal feel out of reach.
I did it yall. I was feeling nervous about it last week but holy crap I did it! This week my focus was slowing down my pace and maintaining my breath. Day 1 was pretty chill. I put off Day 2 for a day bc I was absolutely exhausted from work and such and needed an extra rest day. Which I’m glad I listened to my body bc when I did Day 2 yesterday it actually felt pretty easy. Did Day 3 today and completely surprised myself! Grateful for the encouragement and inspiration of this group!
Finished W4D3 yesterday. Today was supposed to be strength training day, but decided to do W4D3 again just to mentally prepare for what’s to come in W5. On the last running stretch, I slowed down my pace and did 7 minutes instead of 5 😮💨 5 minutes of running already felt like a lot for me, but slowing down and pushing myself to do 7 helped me to see that a lot of it is mental. Ready to lock in for Week 5!💪🏽
I hate running. Always have. But feeling more committed than ever these last couple months to taking care of my body. I’ve been fairly consistent about exercising. When I fall off (usually due to being out of town), I’ve been able to get back into a routine quicker and quicker. Told myself I couple years ago that I wanted to be able to at least run a 5K but never stuck with the training. So I’m hoping this go round will be much more fruitful!
