    Awesome! Congrats! I want to start a running program too, I would love to be able to run that far non-stop. Did you do C25K or any other program or did you just get out there and run?

    Its really easy to get started with c25k so try and start there ,9 weeks and you will be running 3miles/5k -- OP fab running!

    Huge congrats! Took me a while to get to the 5 mile mark and then it took a while to break the 5 mile mark. lol For more weeks and you will be saying, "I just jogged 6 miles!" I broke 5 one week and the next week I hit 7. Poor 6 mile marker didnt get his moment to shine. :) Good luck on the rest of your journey!

    Great job! I was there in July, and next month I have a half marathon! Just keep going, rest when needed, and keep setting goals. I LOVE setting goals. The best moments for me running have been::

    First mile non-stop.
    First 5K
    First 5 mile non-stop
    First 10K
    First 100 mile month.

    I will be adding half marathon soon! Great job and keep going. Tons of milestones feel awesome in running!

    That is wonderful! Congratulations! I just started the C25K program last night. I haven't tried to run since high school. Even though I didn't run that far, it was my biggest accomplishment in a long time. It felt amazing...I can't wait to try it again tonight.

    Awesome! Congrats! I want to start a running program too, I would love to be able to run that far non-stop. Did you do C25K or any other program or did you just get out there and run?

    First off, Thank you all so much for your kind words. :) I didn't do C25K, I just looked up how to train for a 5K and printed it out. When I hit that mark I looked up how to train for a 10K and kept going. lol I'm almost through the 10K training.

    Great work! That's a great milestone!

    Coming from someone who is currently nursing achilles tendonitis, please take your time increasing your distances. I felt so great once I got over five miles I started increasing to fast and now I'm injured.

    Good luck to you!
