So...I'm a planner. Always have been. Used to drive my husband nuts (as a spontaneous person), until he saw the benefit of it. Anyway...I'm signed up for a 5K on July 28th and that is my current goal. To run the entire thing (however slow it is...). But now thinking...what then? Should I find another 5K to keep me going??

    I would...I'm lucky as there are free 5K parkruns near me so I just do that every Saturday. If you don't have access to something like that, I'd suggest booking at least one more in, maybe a few weeks after your first one?
    I finished C25K and after a couple of weeks started Bridge to 10K, I liked having the structure there. After that it was fairly easy to add half a mile or a mile at a time, if you do want to run longer distances.
    Good luck!

    Well I found another 5k about 1 month after my first one. There's also a 4 mile memorial run in between them. Don't know if I'll be up for a 4 miler by Aug. 11 though. I know our company is doing a relay marathon towards the end of September and they want me to be in it too. But that'd be 5 miles!!! wonder if I can work up to that by then..... ?

    Bridge to 10K app: 6.3 miles, 6 weeks. No problem. Happy to help :glasses:
