When an achievement doesn't feel like it...

Here's the backstory... I began the C25K program back in October. Pushed through week by week and month by month until I "graduated" the program right before Christmas. I've been adding in time week by week and am now running 40 minutes straight and 4.1+ miles...

So here's my dilemma... I don't feel like I've accomplished anything. I've signed up for the Susan G. Komen "Race for the Cure" 5K in March, but even knowing that I can complete that, I think "5K? So what?". Is there a runner's funk? Has anyone else felt like this? If so, what did you do to get over it?

I'd love to just "get over myself". :)

    Man, you're sure tough on yourself! What would you tell a friend who'd done what you've done? Probably, "Way to go!"

    It's OK, you can treat yourself as you would a friend!

    Now if a 5k no longer means much to you, set your sights on a new goal. But don't discount what you've achieved!
