    Thanks :smile:

    I am so thankful for all of the support, challenges, and encouragement.
    When I see the weight loss success like yours and so many others, I know I have found the right group,

    Final week Day 1- Tonight I was so pumped up knowing I am in the final week. I walked for 8 minutes at 3.0 and ran for 30 minutes ( 20 min @3.5 and 10 min @4.0) I completed 2.22 miles.

    Wishing everyone a great running week.

    Technically I am not a C25Ker but I have not, until this week, been able to run a 5K distance without using intervals. I am now running four miles without intervals. I guess you could say that I have achieved this.

    What an accomplishment. The ability to go the distance can come from a formal training program or simply from internal fortitude.:smile:

    i have managed to run 5K (not a race ) 3 times in the last 10 days
    once on treadmill and twice outside - all roughly around 45 mins for 5k,
    I am calling myself as a graduate :)

    Congratulations!! I would say you are a graduate as well. I will be there by Sunday. I have been feeling a little tired the last few days so I will do my running on Friday and Sunday.

    Hello my MFPals,

    This was a difficult week for me-balancing work, home and my physical fitness. I was able to get my second run in today and I felt great. I accomplished the following : 3.5 mph 20 minutes running; 4.0 mph for 11 minutes running; 3.5 walking for 5 minutes and running for 10.50 minutes at 4.5 mph - 3 miles in 46.5 minutes.

    I plan to do my last day on tomorrow. I hope everyone is progressing as planned.

    I am finished!!! Ran twice today because I was so excited about finishing this program. In the morning I ran 2 miles in 28.10 minutes running at 4.0 and 4.5 mph.

    Evening run I ran/walked 2 miles in 28.06 minutes at 4.0 and 4.5 mph.

    I am thankful for each of you on this C25K journey. I am finished!!
