My family and I are on a camping trip this week and I decided I was not going to have a rest week. I ran today around the country side and ended up running 10.3 miles in 1:50 mins. That is the longest run I have ever done. For a guy that started out walking 2 miles in 40 mins I think I've come along way :bigsmile: Don't give up. If I can do so can you!!!!

    that is amazing! it must have been such a gorgeous run.

    i just managed to jog for a full five minutes straight (c25k week 4, day1) for the first time in years. hearing that you've come so far will hopefully inspire me to stick with it.

    good luck on the half marathon next year, although it doesn't sound like you'll need it!!!

    Although I'm intrigued, you have internet when you go camping?

    Awesome! I started C25k today. I did it a few years ago but I weighed 40 lbs more then. I can already tell it's going to be easier on me this time. This time I'm going to stick with it!

    Most camp grounds have wi fi now days. And My wife was just laughing about how I'm roughing it. hahaha

    Once you've got the running bug, it's difficult to stay still. Well done :drinker:

    I guess our camping is different than yours. The campgrounds we end up in are usually about 25 miles off of any paved roads, there's no water except what we bring ourselves, and just pit toilets to do your business. Definitely no wi-fi, power, or anything like that.

    I love it. I ran by a deer farm and saw this. Pretty cool.
