in Fitness and Exercise
The day that I have been terrified of since staring Couch 2 5k arrived yesterday. No intervals- just 20 minutes of non-stop jogging. I've had this mental block that I'd never be able to do it but if I could, I could finish the rest of the program with no problem.

Slowly but surely (14.25 min/mile), I DID IT!! I can't say enough what this has done for my mental progress on the program. Hopefully now that I've cleared this road block, I can start picking up some speed! :laugh:

Thanks for my MFP friends for cheering me on! :flowerforyou:

    That is so awesome! Great job.

    I remember C25K W5D3 fondly. (of course it was only back in March for me, so it wasn't that long ago)

    Keep it up. You'll get to 5K in no time now.

    Oh you give me hope! I finished week 5 day 1 this past Saturday but I've been dreading week 5 day 3 for so long. Congratulations to you for pushing through! I hope I can do the same.

    Awesome job! I just finished day 1 of c25k so it's really good to see success stories; all the more motivation to stick with it.

    Thanks everyone! I've been creeping on the forum boards looking for C25K inspiration these past 5 weeks, so I was excited to add a story of my own. Keep it up, fellow C25Kers!!

    Amazing job! I'm starting week 8 and am still shocked I can jog for that long. It's a great feeling!

    Congratulations! It is the best feeling to complete that workout. I remember doing it and I bragged to anyone who would listen. LOL
