    Looking forward to hearing how you go today, Becky!

    Just remember:

    'Finished Last'
    Beats 'did not finish'
    Beats 'did not start'.

    You've already started with C25K, so you're a winner for sure!

    Just have fun, and good luck!

    The Run'ucopia was SOOO much fun!! And it went way better than I expected! I ran all but about a min, had to relieve the pressure off my calf, took my hat off and cooled down a bit, and ran the rest. I even thought we were near the finish line only to find we were running past it for another large loop before coming back up and I forgot about some of the incline, and forgot how much of a climb the hill to the bridge was but I ran all those. It really felt amazing! My pace was steady all the way through, I was really proud of that cause I have struggled so much with my pace out on the road. The pavement didn't phase me at all. And then I was on a natural high the rest of the day! With the struggles I have had to run, it really was a dream to do what I did yesterday!

    Thank you all for your support, encouragement, and advice! I most likely would not have signed up if not for you all! :)

    Well done, Becky!

    Enjoy the feeling, and be sure to allow your body enough recovery time after running farther than you knew you could. Don't beat yourself up if you find your training runs the next few days harder than you expected. Be gentle with yourself, because recovery is an important part of the training cycle.
