Great job! I'm glad you did it! I am on week 4 of the couch to 5k program and I was worried about what others thought at first too. Now I look forward to my 3 days a week of running, I absolutely love it! (except for the awful shin splints)

Wow - that's great news to hear and a really excellent pace!!! So happy to know that you've been out there, hittin' the trails and getting it done. And to share that with your daughter - well, it doesn't get much better than that! Hope you're really enjoying it and best of luck to you in your big race!

Happy running! :flowerforyou:

I started C25K last week...And I was very conscious on how stupid I would look puffing for 1 min then walking for 1 min30 :bigsmile: But then I realised I was doing it FOR ME . More, I don't think anybody cares about my running :bigsmile:

Good luck on the training, I am registered foir a 5Km in October too :flowerforyou:
