    You are practically making me cry too! Congratulations!!! Accomplishing something that you never thought was possible is definitely tear-worthy. Let us know when you complete your first 5K! :)

    Heavy all my life with the resulting fears, insecurities and shame. When I've worked out in the past, I would lift and walk inclines on the treadmill. This time, I wanted to try something else (still lifting!) so I'm doing the C25K. Today, I did W6 D3 - jogging for 25 minutes - no stopping. When that popped up on the app, for a split second, I thought about ditching it. But then I DECIDED that I would do it, no matter what. And I did! Not only that, I jogged an extra minute to get to 2.0 miles. (Yes, I am very slow!) I am 47 years old and have NEVER jogged for 2.0 miles straight in my entire life. But I did it today! And I will do more!

    When it was over, I just broke down and cried. I am so freaking proud of myself! (I'm sure the people at the Lifetime Fitness in Canton think I'm nuts!) Thank you MFP and C25K! And thank you to me for deciding to do this. I am amazing myself!

    It is the victories in life that make it so sweet! Congrats!

    I'll respond in hopes you come back and read this. You should be very proud of yourself for overcoming the feeling of "I can't do this" and finding out that you can do this. As you progress into other training programs and obstacles remember and use this accomplishment to help push you through. It helped me to do my 5 mile run yesterday when I thought I could not. Again, great courage and amazing job!

    Hi! Thanks for the encouragement! This is a moment that I will picture when I am discouraged. 5 miles? You rock!!

    you will get hooked. I am finally hooked on exercise and it took me 41 years to do so lol. I cannot live without it now and even joined an expensive gym. It connects me to my body :)

    You did very well doing a big walk or run that far. I have 40 to lose and I don't know if I could do it. I know I am good for 5 miles, but after that I am not sure. Chasing my 2 year old grandson when I get the opportunity is probably comparable, since you run all day. You really hit a milestone.
