Well guys,
This was probably my third or fourth time re-doing c25k. Usually, I dont finish but do make good progress.
Well, this year I started in February, got to Week 6/7 and stopped for two weeks. I returned to c25k and ended up being able to run 5k with doing the remaining weeks. When I first ran 5k, I thought it was a fluke so went out today to do it again. IT WASNT A FLUKE!!! I CAN JOG 5K. Woo hoo!!
I won't lie, I jog quite slow (I blame the big *kitten* weighing me down. lol). It takes me 35-37 minutes to do 5k but I am not winded at all and feel great. I could proabaly go faster but want to take it easy so my legs get used to the distance.
Guess what?....I have now signed up to do the Royal Parks half marathon in London on 7 October 2012. I needed a goal to keep up with my jogging. lol.
Six months of training should do it.
Further and faster, I go.

That's awesome! Good luck with the half!! I'm starting week 6 tomorrow, so I hope to have as much success lol! I've already done a 5k (walked & ran it) and am running a 4 mile race next saturday, but my long term goal is the half as well! Keep us updated!0
