On Wednesday I posted about my 'epic fail' I previously had managed all runs without giving up. Wednesday I didnt give up, but I was in a lot of pain and barely managed 2miles.

Thanks to everyones encouragment I received!

Today I am a c25k graduate. I completed week 9 day 3. And to top it all of I ran the whole 5k!!! AMAZING!!!

I am proud of myself. Will continue running week 9 day 3 a couple more times, then will move onto bridge to 10k!!!!

YAY!

    Congrats on finishing!! It's great to hear stories of people doing it!

    I just did week 4 day 3 today. I even stepped it up and ran 8 min straight just because I could - it was such a great feeling to accomplish that.

    My fiance is a C25K graduate too. Watching him progress really motivated me to get off my butt and do it too.

    I started as a Couch to 5k person myself and now average 40-45 miles a week and about 25 on my bike. Running is a great cardio, the equipment costs are minimal and you can do it anywhere. Keep up the good work!

    I can honestly say that Couch 2 5k saved my life!!!! I finished it last summer and now train for a 1/2 marathon and I'm even thinking of a 25k next spring and maybe a marathon after that!!! Great job at completing the program. The skies the limit for you now!!!!

    Congrats from a fellow grad. Of course the next logical step is to move to a 10K now, right?

    YAY!!! So there is light at the end of the C25K tunnel :laugh:

    I cannot wait until I get to week 9! I am currently on W4D2 (yesterday), but I think I might stay with W4 one more week to feel confident about completing it. I am afraid...no no TERRIFIED, of doing the 20minute jog in W5!

    CONGRATS! :drinker:

    CONGRATS!!! I hope to complete it too; I keep going back to week 1. I'm in DAllas and the heat is TERRIBLE and it just makes me feel drained and extremely exhausted more than usual.

    Congrats! I am on D2 W3. When I think about running a whole 5K it seems impossible, but I am determied to do it. I am going to be signing up for my first 5K at the end of Oct. I may need to enlist a running buddy to help me get through it though.

    I started running about a month ago. The tendon beside my knee is soooo sore on both legs. I'd love to try the C25K app when I get my Iphone.

    Hoorays!!! So awesome! If my imaginings of how amazing I'll feel once I graduate are true you must be on top of the world!

    I'm doing week 8 day 2 tonight after work :) The feeling of accomplishment is INSANE. So if I keep up my usual rate of running (which I will) I am set to graduate next Sunday! (which btw - also happens to be my 30th birthday) I registered on May 20th for a 5k on September 10th (that was the goal that kept me going all these long weeks!) I feel so ready for it already...I can't wait to post my own graduation announcement!
