    That is awesome! Way to go!!!:drinker:
    Such a good feeling huh!!:bigsmile:
    Last week one time I ran for 30 minutes, I seriously teared up when I realized I made my goal!!!! I thought, oh my gosh, do not start crying at the gym on the treadmill!!!!!!!! :cry: ofcourse my hips hurt so bad I could hardly walk for the next to days,:sad: so I'm now not forcing myself to try that again yet.... I'm gonna let that happen naturally next time!!!! lol
    Congrats and keep up the great work!!!!!:flowerforyou:

    HI. What is C25k?
  • Congratulations that's awesome!
    I got into running through C25K a couple of years ago; you'll be running past me in half-marathons in no time! :bigsmile:
    Keep up the brilliant work. :smile:

    Congratulations! That is very inspiring to me as I just started that program as well. I am on day 3 of week 2 (tomorrow). Love it so far, but I just have to learn to breathe correctly. Keep up the great work!

    Great job! I just finished week 5 and was also super thrilled to be able to run that long! Remember when 2 minutes was pushing it?!? :-) Keep it up!

    Congrats! It's a great feeling, isn't it?!

    I'm also doing C25K. I consider myself in week 7, though I've been doing it for 9 weeks now. I struggled with week 4 because my pace was too fast. Then I struggled again with my 25 minute run on W6D3. The breakdown in W6 was totally mental though, so I spent last week working on those mental barriers! I've now done two 25 minute runs (straight through) and am even increasing my speed a little.

    I hope you continue to enjoy the same sense of accomplishment that I feel with each run I complete!

    Impressive! great job! I just finished W3D2 today and I was dying! My body does not want me to run for 3 minutes straight! I hope I make it as far as you have :)
