I know, it's not much, but I started C25K today and ran for a total of 3 minutes! That's more than I've run in 10 years! I'm training for a 5k in April, and I have a feeling I might just get addicted to running. Just had to share. :smile:

    Great job you have to start out small, every little bit helps and just keep adding to it. Good luck on your Journey

    That is great! I just recently started running and when I could run more than a few minutes without stopping I wanted to jump up and down with excitement so I know how you're feeling!
    Best of luck with your training!

    Every step is moving forward.....Keep it going. Remember before you ran...you rolled over,then crawled, & then walked,its a progression.:smile:

    Hi, I am also a former non-runner. I did a 5k after training with the Couch to 5K training guide....you can google it...,my best to you as you prepare! It is totally worth it when you cross that finish line. :)

    good for you!!!! i've only ever walked so I know what you mean - I'm starting to run, and am running up to 3-4 min. on the treadmill and was overjoyed with that too LOL so i hear ya! at first I'd be changing the speed on my treadmill and pounding the button down to lower the speed so i could stop running, now I run for the length it does it (on the weight loss program on the treadmill) and I can tell each time it's easier and i no lnoger change the speed
    so I say it's a HUGE congrats for you - i know how hard that is!!!!! my goal too is a 5K - i walk it, but i want to run it! way to go!!!!! it'll be four min. before you know it!
