I'm currently doing C25K...day one injured myself, I have been off for the time the doc said, tomorrow I'm back at it no matter what. I hope to run my first 5K after completing it. I'm inspired :happy:

Thanks so much! Not sure what's next. Maybe a 10K, but probably a couple of more 5K's first.

I first started running in mid-January. I did the Couch to 5K training program.

Congrats!!!

This is my goal, too. I'm slowly building stamina, but asthma is a challenge. :frown:

I'm slowly building stamina, but asthma is a challenge. :frown:

I'm sure that is. You'd only think I have asthma from the way I huff and puff. But you can do it, even if it does take you a bit longer to build up!

So what is your next goal?

Just signed up for a 4 miler next month, and planning a 8K in the fall.

congrats!!!! you sure did great!

MooseWizard

For those of you doing the C25K program, that is what I used as well, and had started that in mid-January. I remember huffing and puffing though the 1-minute runs, and cannot believe how far I have come--ran 5 miles on Monday! If I can do it, anyone can. Good luck!

CarmenSox

Impressive! I walked my first 5K. I would love to be able to actually run one. Not comfortable running,,,,,YET! Hopefully soon! Thanks for the inspiration!
