Couch to 5km It does work !!!!!! - Now to Run for Breast Ca

apehead1

I had to share this with everyone. Since losing my weight and maintaining the weight off for almost a year now I continue changing my lifestlye.

I have never ever been a runner but thought I would try this. I dit the program couch to 5km and wow it does work. I'm so pumped.

It's a 9 week program that is idiot proof. Just follow the voice insturctions listen to the music and do it every other day.

It's like running for Dummies.

I Started this program June 23 2011 and have run for a total of 94 km in that time. I Graduated from the program couch to 5km this morning.

Ran for a total of 5.97 km in 32.5 minutes. Doing my first 5km race August 28. WOOT!!!!

Since my mom had breast cancer I also thought this race would have special meaning as well.

If anyone would like to sponsor me and a couple of dollars that would be great. You can do it online

Well done!

I've been doing it too but have just switched to using Runkeeper because after getting sick and missing a couple of weeks (I'd previously got to W8), I'm finding that despite easing myself back into running, the leap from run 10, walk 3, run 10 is just too much - Runkeeper allows me to programme my own intervals, which is more useful to me. That's not to say that C25K isn't brilliant - it *is*, and it's allowed me to go from being completely unfit to a runner...a real runner at that!

Good luck with your race - I hope you get lots of sponsorship!
