    Just did my first 5k race yesterday! I started c25k in early November and completed in late January. I worked on my own with the NHS 5k+ podcasts. Happy to say that I met my goals - not to stop running and to come in under 45 minutes. I didn't stop and finished in 39:43. Now to keep on going and find my next race!!!

    Congrats to you that's AWESOME!!! Yippee!!!

    Yay dog- and sixpack- ladies! Can you believe it? 99.9 percent of the people around you can't run for 30 straight minutes.

    I forgot to post this but on Sat March 9th I completed the C25K program running 35 minutes straight. A great accomplishment and I am pretty proud of myself :) I am running my first 5K in 2 weeks so now I just need to figure out the best way to do my runs for the next 2 weeks.

    Woop woop! I graduated today. I started on 6th Jan and other than 1 week where I had an ear infection, I managed to run every other day. I feel exhausted and giddy, a bit like the feeling I had when I gave birth to my first born! :happy:

    Just completed the program. I ran 3.1 miles continuously for the first time in my life. It took me 40 minutes or so, but i did it. I could definitely not have done it in this short a time period without this program.

    Yay me! I graduated last week and completed my first 5K race today. So. Much. Fun. And I was disappointed when it was over! Now I'm on to improving my speed!
