Woohoo! I did it! Whoops! Forgot to post! Very happy to see progress, especially THIS week, IYKWIM. Thrilled to see the scale moving. Last week I stayed the same, the week before only 1lb.

I did it! Completed Week 8 and "ran" the whole thing! (I am doing this on the elliptical due to my foot issues). Now I'm seriously thinking about going back and starting over from the beginning and actually running outside to see how my foot will hold up. I'm almost 15 lbs lighter and obviously in better shape cardio-wise…

I guess I was overambitious about my goal this month. I will have to do another long run to even make last month's goal! But at least I am still moving and going faster and longer each time. 6.43 miles today

Another crazy weekend...not looking good for meeting my goal. Did 6.5 miles today though.

Good job! I just did W8, D1. I agree with those who have tried the C25K and quit. The story is the thing. I found myself getting nervous today when they were talking about my big run. Like it's real! LOL!!

Ugh...slipping behind. 2/3 through June and I'm almost 10 miles short of where I should be. Need to get my *kitten* moving!!! 5.1 today.

Finished Week 7 today...getting nervous about next week. I hope I can do it!

Slipping a little behind after a busy weekend. I'd better get moving! 5.03 today.

Added 5.1 today!

That is awesome! Congratulations!

5.02 miles today. So happy that I'm a third of the way to my goal and a third of the way through the month. Really staying on track!

Way to go! I think 32 minutes is great! Must be a great feeling of accomplishment. Hope to be joining you soon - I finished Week 6 today and finally feel like I might finish the whole thing.

5.18 miles today.

Another 5.02 miles today - staying on schedule so far!

Good luck! What a great feeling to do the final run! WTG! Love those hurdles. I just did W6,D1 and was intimidated by the 7 minute free form runs. Couldn't believe I didn't have to stop! Great job!

5.16 miles today - good start for June's goal!

This thread was a big part of my motivation for moving my *kitten* in May, so I'm glad to jump in again. Last month I did 60; I'm going to see if I can do 75 in June. Off to a good start today with 5.1 miles done!

I'm still pretty new around here, but I'm in. Anything to keep me motivated!

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious baby. I have been there. And this may not sit well on a fitness board, but it comes from lots of experience with myself and others. First, cut yourself a break. Grief is exhausting, hard work that makes you so tired even if you aren't physically moving a lot. Trying to push…

WTG!!! So sorry about your cat. It hurts more than it seems like it should. I am right about where you are - just did W5, D2 - and was moving a little slow myself. (Slipped on the stairs Tuesday and am stiff and sore). But I know we can do it! Congratulations! That is awesome. Thanks for the tips. I will be there in just a…

YAY! I made it! Almost didn't after I busted my @$$ on the stairs the other day and am a little creaky, but knowing I only had a few miles left to hit my goal got me moving again. I actually feel so much better now that my muscles are warm and I stretched a lot. Added 5.41 miles today to put me over. Thank you guys for…

My goal is in sight! 5.33 miles today!

Three days in a row and I don't feel like I'm going to die. Added 5.3 today!

Okay, so I did W4D2 today and turned the accelerometer setting to on. The good news is that I had NONE of the glitch where the prompts or music stop and you have to pause/resume. I was getting those a few times per run before. Here are my questions for those of you who have been doing this longer (and are using this on a…

Feeling back on track now that graduation is over and my kids are out of school! 5.27 miles today. Feel more confident now that I will make it to my 60 mile goal. Last week it looked really uncertain. Thanks for being here!

So glad to have found this group! I've been on MFP for about 4 weeks now; just finished W4D1 of the Z5K. Due to a history of foot problems and being told to stay away from high impact exercise, I'm doing it on the elliptical. The good news is that I've stuck with it longer than I've ever done anything, and my feet are…

Up to Week 4 of my 5K training. 5.25 miles today!

Long weekend with no exercise. Moving a little slower today. 4.81 miles
