    I think it can be whatever you consider graduating. :)

    I finished the program yesterday and ran 3.24 (or 7, not sure :) miles in 30:42 seconds. :) I really enjoy running now!

    My last day was October 6th. It felt wonderful. I think back to that first run. It hurt so badly. I could barely make the 60 seconds of running time and I wasn't sure I'd be able to do it again. But mind over matter, I persevered. Each week, I continued to surprise myself. I run my first 5K on Saturday, October 13th and I'm not dreading it, but looking foward to it. This will be a HUGE milestone in my life.

    Go Me!

    My last day was a few weeks ago. I ran based on time and the 30 minutes was not 5k for me. Now I'm working on getting to the 5k :)

    First off congrats to everyone who has finished! I just finished W9D3 and for good measure I put the app on open run and I ran 5k in 37 minutes. I have NEVER ran 3 miles in a row in my life until today! I never thought in my life I would say I enjoy running. My first 5k is November 10th :)

    I graduated last Friday. Never thought I would be able to run that far non-stop! Looking forward to a 5K on Thanksgiving morning. :)

    Today 10-27-12 was my final C25K workout which also happened to be my first 5k race. I ran the local Susan G. Komen 5k in 35:02. Super excited! Small steps for large results!

    I just ran my first 5k tonight. Actually, per Endomondo, it was 3.14 miles (just wanted a bit of padding in case the GPS was off a bit). I'm so excited.

    I started out doing C25k but then joined a running group and didn't really follow the program closely after that. Just ran a bit farther each time without stopping to walk. I vividly remember how hard the first few weeks of C25k were for me so I'm really proud of myself.

    Now I need to work on pace and speed. Will be running my first official 5k race later this month, a Turkey Trot. I don't explain to place in my age group but I'm going to be thrilled to go the distance.

    Week 9, Day 3 is done. Can jog greater than 30 minutes, but still have to take a quick 1 minute walk in there. First 5K is this weekend and will post how it goes.

    I finished today!!!!

    I didn't run 5k because I ran the program too slow, but I finished Week 9 today, and when I get back from a trip, I'm going to start over and run faster this time.

    I still don't feel like a runner, but hopefully the next time through the program will get me feeling more like it.

    I am so proud of myself because when I started I could barely make it through one minute :D

    Go me!
