Today I did my last run on my C25K program! In total I have run 67.46 miles in the past 9 weeks and have realized that I actually love running. I would have laughed in your face if you had told me that 9 weeks ago when I was huffing through 60 second intervals. I feel great about myself and even though according to my BMI I am still obese I think that I am looking pretty damn good! I'll post pictures later on.

    Like weight loss, fitness isn't a linear progression. At times you will face ups and downs so just go with the flow of your body. If you need to back down to week 8 or rest, there is no shame in that. What you don't want to do is cause injury to yourself. Stay positive!! You can do it!!

    I got that at week 8. One day 28 minutes was fine and the next it seemed impossible. I just slowed down my pace and kept at it and was fine. Great job!!

    Thank you so much!! You can do it! I still love hearing the lady tell me when I am halfway done but now I'm usually not ready to be done when she says stop. You will do great!

    Congrats! I'm on week 7 and am amazed at how easily I can run for 25 minutes...You couldn't have convinced me 7 weeks ago I'd even be running for 5! Good work!

    Awesome NSV! :heart: C25K is a great program for beginners, it has worked well for me every time I have come back to running...Fortunately I don't think that I will need it again because I am not going to stop running anymore:drinker: !

    Awesome! I'm in my second week of C25K and want to run every day - but I'm holding myself back because every time I try to begin a new running program I injure myself and quit. I can't wait to be where you are so that I can just run and run and run and run.........

    That's my goal once I finish it. :smile: I'm actually doing the c210k app, but the first 8 weeks are the c25k program. I just hope to progress to the 10k one after I finish, then further! :happy:

    Congratulations! I can't wait till I graduate. I'm on week 3 and for the most part loving it. I can identify with huffing and puffing at doing 60 seconds. It seemed to go on forever.....lol!!!
