Thanks to the C25K program, after nine weeks of training I was able to run my 5K this last Saturday. My goal was to run the whole way and finish (hopefully not last!). I accomplished my goals and beat 2 women in my age group and 14 women over all, so I didn't finish last either! I'm still not sold on running, but I did set a goal and did it. Yippee!! :happy:

    Great job! It just gets easier as the weight comes off. I'm not quite to where I'd call it fun, but I am to where I don't dread it. Keep up the great work!

    Congratulations!

    Running is about enjoyment and not everyone grows to love it, what's important is that you challenged yourself and accomplished your goal.

    Great job! Keep it up because the benefits of running are awesome. I just finished my 2nd 5K a couple of weeks ago and came in 16th in my women's age group. I was so excited. Now I'm training for my first 10K in October.
