Wanting to be friends with C25K participants

literally did week 1 run 1 yesterday so will be doing run2 tomorrow, I haven't exercised much in a while and my legs were a little sore today, as much as I would think this would get less painful as the weeks go on, I have a feeling there's alot of pain infront of me. any advice from the guys further along or completed the program would be appreciated!

AEB_WV- what is the graduate program you are doing?

I actually finished C25k yesterday! Running my first 5k Saturday. Highly recommend it to anyone- a few months ago (and all my life) I never thought I could run more than 5 minutes. It really works if you stick with it.

Looking for what to do next though because a huge part of it for me was the strict schedule and goals to adhere to.

Got three of the kids to go and try day 1 today. They are 9, 10 and 13. My 13 year old has just recovered from pneumonia, so I actually didn't expect her to even try, but she did. She walked more then she ran which was okay. My 10 year old son ran like the wind each running period. My 9 year old dd cried and moaned almost the entire time I had to keep reminding her that it was only 60 seconds and would count it down for her. I've been running for quite a while now and weighed over 70 lbs more the first time I started c25k. It is amazing how much easier week one it is now then it was originally. I was running back and forth between and around the kids, plus counting down the time!

Remember it gets easier! I promise! Half of running is mental. My youngest (complaining dd), sprinted home when I said we were done and could go back home. I estimated she ran 90 seconds to get home before everyone else. lol it was definitely mental with her!

If you're still wanting more friends, feel free to add me. I am in Week 6 and loving it.
I am doing a 4k "beer run" race in a couple weeks.. should be a fun first race to do before my first 'real' race :happy:
