    I did it! The whole program! Did week 9 day 3 this morning!!! Jogged those 30 min! At a 10.43 min/mile pace. That made a 4.5 K distance.
    Also, since I started the program 9 weeks ago (combined to Jillian Michaels Body Revolution), I lost 10 lbs.

    Now I will continue with 3 runs per week, adding 1 or 2 min each week in order to run 5K. Then, I will stick to it until I can jog 5K in 30 min.

    I loved reading your detailed progress! It motivated me to keep going ! I did my day week one ay one yesterday . It was tough but I felt accomplished afterward. I've chosen to do the majority of my running at the local highschool track to save my knees from injury.

    I am registering for the Athleta Iron woman of Seattle on sept 9 to keep me motivated...the have a choice of walk, 5k or 10k.

    After reading your thread I may start my own to map my progress....

    Thanks for the inspiration ! Keep it up and please update us when you run your first 5k !

    Away again traveling for work, but still jogged 30 min at my hotels gym. Will do a 2nd week at 30 min, because it's really hard for me. Next week will start adding time in order to jog that 5 K distance!

    On an other business trip. Went for a 30 min jog on the treadmill. Loving that I can run anywhere, outside at home or at the hotel. To jog a 4K in 30 min is now something I'm comfortable with. 4.5 is still hard, but I still can push myself in it. Loving the progress in my endurance!

    Jogged yesterday for 30 min. The 1st 10 min were harder, but the last ones, easier, felt like I could still run. Still jogging 4.5 K in 30 min. Will add 2 min this week in order to eventually achieve this 5K distance.

    After 2 weeks of 30 min jog, I added 2 min in order to acheive the 5k distance eventually. So today was the 1st time jogging for 32 min. It went great. I did it at the hotels gym treadmill because I'm away on a business trip again!

    Jogged my 2nd 5K tonight in my neighborhood. It felt good! Was very humid and hot outside so I did it at sunset. Did it in 33.5 min, that's 2.5 min shorter than my 1st one!

    Hi people. It has been a while! Still running a 5K every week since I graduated the program in July. Sunday will be my 1st official race. It's the Montreals Rock&Roll marathon and I'll be running the 5K with my cousin and BF.
