First of all..... CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

WE HAVE OFICIALLY COMPLETED OUR FIRST WEEK OF C25K!!!!!!! Many of us maybe thought we wouldn't be able to make it through BUT...... WE DID IT!!!!!

I personally feel much more relaxed, energetic and flexible! I've caught myself RUNNING up the stairs instead of DRAGGING myself up there! I like what I'm seeing in the mirror! My skin seems to have tighten like...ALL OVER THE PLACE! My arms, legs, waist... I'm just happy, really. Now, it could be just my mind playing tricks on me but whatever... I'll take it!!! :)

How are all of you FEELING????

    I use to dread running but it seems like I am actually looking forward to my runs. I was even gonna pick up the pace and do more days but I read that you should follow the plan to give your body time to rest.

    I feel great! I am so glad I have returned to a love of mine --running. Often, I found myself wanting to run when I should have been walking. This week I will focus on not doing this. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are my running days this week. Wishing everyone a great week

    I somehow hurt my knee this week of running so I'm not doing anything involving my legs this week at the gym.

    Dancingcirc, sorry to hear about your knee. I have a bad knee and got a tip from the forum. I run carefully like I am jogging on ice with shorter slightly choppy strides, rather than longer strides. If I forgot and stride longer, I felt it in my knee. I also wear an Ace bandage on my knee.

    I hope it feels better soon!
