    Congrats!! On both the 30 lbs and the C25K! I followed the Couch to 5K program when I first started trying to lose weight 4 years ago. It's a great, effective & safe program. I could barely run 30 seconds when I started the program. But this past October, I ran the Chicago Marathon. Which I never would have ever dreamed was possible. And it all started with C25K! Good luck!

    Congrats Doll awesome progress! I graduated C25K last year and have since run a few 5ks. I'm looking to run bigger races this year.

    That's amazing. I'm so inspired by your marathon! :-) I remember the 30 second runs and can't believe how far I've come! On to C210K I go..... Running a 10K in April so no time to dither about. Back to the dreaded interval training. LOL

    The program teaches you soooooo much more than how to run. It teaches you confidence in your abilities. How to overcome mental barriers and every week you will have a new personal best (pace/distance etc). I think it's one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. I hope you get the same out of it that I did! :-)
