    Wouldn't it be great if all we C25K-ers could all enter a 5k somewhere together.

    you became a runner when you took your first steps on c25k! congratulations on a huge accomplishment!

    Yep. That. I ran my first 5k today as well in the Shamrock Run here in Portland with 35,000 people! Finishing it was SUCH a huge freaking rush for me! I sprinted the last quarter mile! I hope you get to run a race soon. It's total validation for the program really really working. Congratulations!

    That is just so absolutely awesome! Congratulations.

    I remember when I put 2 miles together for the first time. you just keep on going. I finished my first 1/2 marathon a few weeks and I am thinking about a full marathon in the fall.

    GO!

    Lesson of becoming a runner: Keep my pinky toenails short short short!

    I'm always getting toenails causing bleeds like you - they just grow SO fast. I heard that happens when you're healthy though so that's good, and it's never stopped me going out running again the next day. I'm thinking of getting 5 finger shoes though which will permanently solve that problem.. but only thinking about it atm. I probably need to hear more reviews.

    It's funny though... I heard your toenails could fall off while running and that disgusts me so I keep them trimmed. Last night I was thinking about cutting them but didn't (obviously). Turns out I should have!

    And the nail that was too long was my ring toe on my right foot. It angled as it wasn't a straight cut and the angle was what cut into the middle toe.

    Still crazy proud of myself!!

    Great job! And I so needed to hear this :) I have tried C25K a bit when I was even more out of shape than I am now, and it felt like a struggle, and I couldn't commit to 3 x a week. The past few times I've ran, I did a mile, and tonight 1.5 miles without stopping. I plan on just increasing the total length of the run each time by .25 or .5 depending how I feel. So it's good to hear that Plan B was successful for you, that gives me hope! I am signed up for a 5K at the end of April, I hope I'm ready to run the entire thing by then.

    My one toenail was a bit too long that it cut into its neighbour and filled my shoe with blood.
    My first running injury.
    AND I WAS TOO BUSY ENJOYING MY RUN TO NOTICE IT.

    And that is a true runner ladies and gentleman!

    That's so cool! Congratulations :)
    I have had bleeding toes too, the nail on my middle toe was too long and cut Ito the skin on my second toe. Didn't notice till I got home. It was a great reason to have a pedicure. Nowadays my nails are a scarlet warrior red colour and are due for another pedicure soon :)

    Congratulations! I am planning starting C25K soon although I haven't run since school (some 35 years ago!) so this is inspiring.
