Hi! Thanks for starting the group! I just ran Week 5, Run 1 this morning and it was tough for me. I had to really push myself to finish the last 5 min run. I'm terrified of the nest 2 runs!!

Hello,
I have run many 5ks, 10ks, a few half and full marathons, but that was a long time and three accidents ago. Now, I walk but my last 5k was in 2010 and my time walking was 60 minutes. I want to walk a 5 k in 45 - 48 minutes. I'm sure that as my weight drops I will automatically jog some of the way without even thinking.

Hi, I have just finished Week Seven. I run on a treadmill at the moment but hope to do some outside running soon.

I have run 5K twice on the treadmill but I am very slow (49 minutes with lots of walking) but hope to get faster. LOL, I couldn't get much slower really. But I am going faster than everyone sat on their sofa's and that is good enough for me

Hello! I will be starting week 2 on Tuesday. I live in the south of the US so I'm blessed to be able to run outside still! It was 33*F the last day I ran, and I almost chickened out, but I'm so glad I didn't! My body warmed up soon enough.

i laid off today (not by choice-family being un cooperative) and it's feeling much better. Back to it all tomorrow

starting week 2 tonight...eep

Did W2D2 yesterday on treadmill really struggled with the last run, I did think my legs were going to collapse when the voice on my app said "well done you can slow down now"

I'm only on Week 1; today was my second "run". I also run on a treadmill, but that's because there really is no place for us (females) to run here in Jeddah. Once a week, my friends and I get together and run inside a compound, so there's that.

Doing Day 2 of Week 1 tonight. I'm using an iphone app, and boy do I love to hear the words, "walk now." Whew. Running is hard!!

So today will be run 1 of week 6. A few weeks ago when I looked ahead...week 5 and 6 were terrifying. The other night I completed week 5 and I was certain that there was NO WAY I could run for 20 min straight. Suprise, suprise! I did it and I survived....now my only concern is that winter has hit Alberta. I'm still hoping to finish my C25K on schedule...but I guess we'll see if the weather cooperates!

I'm a member at the gym in the hospital where I work, and have done a few of my runs on the treadmill during my night shift breaks- so I could finish there. But it's harder to get there 3x a week (no childcare!!) unless I'm at work and I don't want to stay and run after a day shift or I won't see my babies at all that day. So...I'll try to keep up the night runs outside after they go to bed, or I'll just finish behind schedule as I can fit it in.

No matter what I won't quit. I want to say "I finished C25K and I can run for 30 mins!"

I am super excited. I decided to start my week 4 today and was going to put it off because the weather is just nasty here- but ran anyway. I made it! I didn't think I would pull off running 2 five minute intervals and 2 three minute in a 30 min run! holy crap. After the first 5 min run, the second was easy. It was getting past the first few minutes and knowing I only had 1 more to go. I am hot, sweaty and cold at the same time. Next time I'll be wearing pants outside....brrr.... Got a question: my shins tend to get really tight, does anyone have any good stretches to keep me from having any injuries?

I am on week 5 day 3 today but I can not decide if I am physically up to run today or not. I figured I could either do the run today - its nice enough, or do it tomorrow. If I don't do it today- I should make myself do some extra exercise because I sort of had a binge last night and need to burn more calories.... decisions....ughhhh...
