    Congrats! But let me ask you this...how sore were you after the first day? It's totally discouraging me from running again when I can barely walk to the post office lol

    I agree with greatescape--the first few runs were totally the hardest. Not that the other ones are easy ^.^, but it seems like the soreness dropped off significantly after the first week or so.

    Good luck and keep going! You'll get there.

    Great story, thanks so much for sharing. And congratulations on your fantastic accomplishment. I've been contemplating the c25k program myself, but running is so scary. :ohwell:

    What a wonderful story! Thanks for taking the time to do all that typing to inspire the rest of us. I started last week and am on W2D2 later today. I agree with the recent post that running is scary, but I'm clearly one of the best examples of "If I can do it, you can do it". Now I find myself looking at local running club websites-who'd of thunk it! There's one near me that starts people this weekend as a beginner and preps you to run a half marathon near the end of September...I'm contemplating!

    And to those of you who are "thinking" about C25K I heartily recommend you download the app and go for it! You won't regret it!

    Thank you for this inspirational post! It was exactly what I needed today!!! I've been having the itch to start working out outside and the kids have been eager to get out too, so I dusted off the double stroller and took off!!! We went for an hour and I even tried to run a little, I huffed and puffed, but I think I will keep pushing myself a little more each time I go! Congrats to you and best of luck on the 10k!!!
