So... I know it's not a HUGE accomplishment or anything, but.....
I FINISHED MY FIRST DAY OF COUCH 2 5K!!!!!
I was listening to a nice Christian Indie Podcast where he tells you when to walk and when to run, and it was quite enjoyable!! I was a bit out of breath at the end, but I finished! In total for day 1, I walked/jogged 1 3/4 miles, burned 340 calories, had an average speed of 3.3mph and a max speed of 7.5mph!
I am INCREDIBLY proud of myself!!! :-D

Thanks guys!!! ^.^
My hubs, kids, and I took our dogs walking last night as well... and I did a little bit of jogging with my dog.
I'm just happy I did it! I was supposed to start yesterday, but, I couldn't sleep and ended up not doing it. I thought that I would chicken out this morning and reset my alarm!! But, I really did it! :-D *does a happy dance*0 -
Fantastic!
Every small step takes you that bit closer to your goal.
Keep it up :drinker:0 -
Thats awesome..I'm doing it too and today was supposed to be day 1 of week 2...but I did a body pump class first and just could only make it for half way..but I will make it tomorrow I'm determined to run a 5k in May..so I don't have much time to slack off!
Congrats It took me about a month to focus and get the first week in all in one week haha.0 -
Yes you did!!! Great accomplishment. It is good that you are proud of yourself. Rock on!!!0

Kerrymh- I also want to run a 5k in May!! My husband is military and is also a Wounded Warrior... and the run is to benefit them! After that I'm going to keep training and HOPEFULLY do a 10k with a friend of mine in August! Maybe next year I will be able to do the half marathon!! (Okay... I'm getting a little ahead of myself... LOL)
Thanks for all the encouragement guys!! I'm really excited about actually being able to do it!! I never ever thought I could have ever done it!0 -
oh my gosh! I was just wondering this am if there was a podcast that told you when to walk /run for the couch to 5K. Can you tell me the link?0

I found mine (podcast) just by googling "couch to 5K podcast" and I loved the way it helped me stay motivated. MUCH easier than doing it with a timer!!!0

Great job! It is no easy thing to start running.
Congrats on quitting smoking too!0 -

For those of you asking about where to get podcasts...

Wow!!! Congrats on your great accomplishment!!! You have become my new hero because I have NEVER been able to run, overweight or not! Even as a kid I hated recess on 'relay race day' because I would always be the on to make my team lose. About a wk and 1/2 ago, I started jogging in place for 2 mins and today I can do 20 WHOLE mins non stop!!!! I can't even imagine myself going as far as you have...I'm sending you a HAPPY HIGH FIVE 'cause you deserve it.....YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!:flowerforyou:0
