    C25K is great! When I started a similar program, I could only run for one (1) minute before I had to slow to a walk. Didn't know I was able to run for 35 minutes continually until the day that assignment arrived and I did it.

    That was 4 years ago. Now, it's easy to forget that at one time running for 30 minutes was a goal I had to work at.

    Heck yeah! Make sure you keep it up!! I did C25k and worked my way up to a half marathon earlier this year, then (for many different reasons) took an extended break. At least I know how to get back to it again. Running is so much fun! I miss it like crazy.
