    I just finished w3d3 also.

    I'm very nervous about the jogging do. In one of the off days I did a couple of 5 minute jogs...they weren't fast...but made it through. Good luck starting week 4. I think we'll need it!! :)

    Just realized it's week 5 I'm starting with the 5 minute jog...I'll have to plan this when the energy levels are high

    Sunday, W3D3 completed...

    moving on to W4...90 secs walking and 5 minutes jogging...I'm a little worried
    Honestly, I thought it would be worse than it was. If you can do 3 minutes, you can do 5. You got this..don't worry!

    I agree. Not bad. Now I need to work on my speed... Any suggestions? I'm thinking about picking op the pace the last 30 secs of each jogging session. Then lengthening that each week. Not sure if that will be enough??

    This is a great program! I'm taking more than a week to do each of the C25K training weeks, but I'm going to get there. I put the Exertime App on my Droid phone, turn on Pandora, and off I go. And I am so NOT a runner.

    Count me in!

    I hope it's not too late to join, I just started C25K today and it was awesome! Sure I was sweaty and almost completely winded by the time it was over, but it was worth it! I got to about 2.5 miles in roughly 30min (Noom was being testy this morning with my playlist.)

    I can't wait for my next run day (Thursday)!!

    See you all at the finish line! ;)

    Yes! That is me. I am about a week ahead of the actual timeline, but I know I won't be moving through as quickly for the rest of the training. Halfway there! I also look forward to my runs, and I'm getting kind of anxious that I can't go today!!

    I did week 5, day 2 last night. 8 minutes is a long time! The next run is 20 minutes and that's got me a little scared.

    I did w5d2 last night as well. Hard, but I made it through. I have d3 tonight because the track is closed on Fridays..I'll admit I'm slightly hesitant about 20 minutes, but it's all mental now. As long as we keep our feet moving, we're doing just fine.
