    Thanks so much! Not sure what's next. Maybe a 10K, but probably a couple of more 5K's first.

    I first started running in mid-January. I did the Couch to 5K training program.

    Congrats!!!

    This is my goal, too. I'm slowly building stamina, but asthma is a challenge. :frown:

    I'm sure that is. You'd only think I have asthma from the way I huff and puff. But you can do it, even if it does take you a bit longer to build up!

    For those of you doing the C25K program, that is what I used as well, and had started that in mid-January. I remember huffing and puffing though the 1-minute runs, and cannot believe how far I have come--ran 5 miles on Monday! If I can do it, anyone can. Good luck!
