    Are you doing distance or time in the last few weeks of the plan???
    I'm starting wk 8 tomorrow and it's 28 mins or 2.75 miles running. Which is everyone doing??
    Not sure what I will do. I'm thinking minutes to finish the program and then work a few weeks in getting my 5k time better.
    Thought???

    I am currently doing C25k with a friend. She is a new runner so we are focusing on time not distance.

    Week 7 Day 2 complete!! I'm running for time. It's easier for me to do time since I didn't have a way to track mileage. So time it is. I'll figure out distance/speed stuff when I'm at the point that I can run 30 minutes straight. I'm almost there!!

    i finished wk 8 yesterday in the blistering heat...those 28 miles were complete and utter torture but only cause it was hot...the run and the time and the distance was fine.....once i finish the program and just head out for "runs" i'm gonna have to move them to an earlier morning time or late night time cause the south florida sun is just getting toooooo hot for me during the day....onto week 9....

    I ran week 8 day 1 today. The route I run at my house is really flat -- almost no hills whatsoever. I'm at my parents' house this week, though, and there are hills galore. So today was a little rough, but it really made me wish I'd been running hills all along. Oh well. I'm 5 runs from being a graduate!!

    I kind of dropped off the face of the earth for a couple of weeks there. Been out of town for business and hadn't been getting in my C25K runs. I did the treadmill one night in the hotel and it was so boring. I don't know how I used to get on there for a workout. But, I can go ALOT faster on the treadmill, even though its harder mentally.

    I did W9D1 last night and I think I can call me graduated. :) Went 30 minutes, no stopping, no slowing down. Under 11 minute mile pace with hills and everything. I'll still check in because I really need the continued motivation with a wedding out-of-town this weekend and a week-long conference in Chicago in a week and a half. But holy crap, I actually finished something exercise related! I'm even running with a low-key running club tonight. So weird, but so wonderful. :)

    Week 8 complete! It was miserably hot out there, I guess I'm gonna have to start getting up early to run (bughhh). I ran the farther I've ever run today, 2.17 miles! It was 2.64 total with the warm up and cool down. I can't believe I only have 3 runs left. I am right behind you, Denise!! Thanks for keeping me motivated -- I've been chasing after you this whole time, and you have made me believe that finishing it possible!
