    Week8Day1 is done today. I was pretty tired and did it slowly and I had a temptation to walk after about 20 minutes, but finished it :)

    @debbie389 and @Aine8046. Nice job. Keep it up.

    Found a cool little state park to run in while in traveling for work in MA. Finished week 1 day 3 of 5k210k today. Chicopee Memorial State Park. It had some actual hills, and I did some running on a few of the single track bike trails too.

    I did W8D1 last night. I looked down at my phone when I had a little less than 5 minutes left and I thought, "5 minutes, piece of cake." Then I caught myself and thought back to when I was just starting C25K and 5 minutes seemed like a long time to me. I have come such a long way! Now I can do almost 30 minutes and it isn't too hard. It is still challenging and I'm slow as a tortoise, but I can do it! My hips and thighs are sore this morning, but in a good way. My theory is it is all the fat melting away. ;) I feel so good about what I've accomplished this summer. I finally found a physical activity that I enjoy and that I've stuck with and I'm seeing results. So excited!

    Since I finished last Saturday just been doing 5k distances on the road. Yesterday got rained out too, and decided to do my run on a treadmill at the gym.

    It was crazy different. It was actually tougher, I did the 3.2 miles, but i struggled to find a comfortable pace, and found that going faster seemed easier on the legs. Though I couldn't maintain the speed for as long as I do on the road.

    Posted my graduation annoucement today. Yay! Amazingly I can now run 30 minutes in a row. Honestly, I'm a little shocked! To be honest, I still don't love running but I love the sense of accomplishment of having been for a run. This process/journey has given me unbelievable amounts of confidence. I never thought that my body was capable of running for 30 minutes. If it can do that, what else can it do?!?

    Nice job! It's kind of weird when you start closing in on the finish line. Then you have to start plotting your next move.
