Congratulations!

Well, my 9 week Couch 2 5K is over. Finished it by running in the Bolder Boulder 10K this morning. We were 52,000 folks strong... all celebrating life, living and being active.. Plus our veterans, and servicemen and women who have ever served our country! I was pleased with my effort. Here are my time and splits:…

Week 8, Day 3 done today. Didn't quite make it for the full 28 minutes running. Had to walk a bit, but it felt good to complete it! I'm going to finish the program on Monday, Memorial Day. Going to run (and walk) in the Bolder Boulder 10K in Boulder, CO. Then I think I'll set my sights on what I need to do to get ready for…

What a great article and success story! What a positive example you set for countless others and thank you for being willing to share your story. Many others ( I for one ) can really relate! Congratulations on your successes and best wishes in your continued pursuits!

Laughter_Girl, just want to let you know you're not alone in how you feel your rate is slower than the program suggestions. On my W5D3, it was like run 20 min or 2 miles... Yeah, right! I found that I completed only 1 and 3/8ths of a mile... Not exactly speedy. Like you, I want to focus on how to improve my time, but right…

Congratulations to all of you! You are an inspiration to me so I want to thank you very much. Way to go, LaraeTX, Laughter_Girl, blondie_0x, G_RRR and all the others! Like LaraeTX, if you want, feel free to add me as a friend. C25K, W6D3 - 25 min jog with no walk. Felt great on a beautiful Colorado morning after a night of…

Good job, G_RRR!! Completed W5D2 this morning. two 8 min jogs... not too bad. Saturday is the big day for me... 20 min jog with no walks. I'm going to a middle school to run on their flat track with a softer surface. I've commented on this here before, but it sure seems like a big jump, from 8 to 20! Where's the 10, or the…

Completed W5D1 of C25K. Felt good! Looking forward to day 3 this week. I'll feel happy if I can do that 20 min...

@manduclese If you were out there moving (note that I did not say jogging/running) for 20 minutes, COUNT IT! Away with "program integrity". What does that mean anyway, other than some self-defined perception? You define your own program. You define your own victories. I'd say you did good! Definitely count it!

I'm no expert, and hardly experienced, but I think you have nailed it with your own comments. It's just different. My personal experience has been that every neighborhood has a lot more variation in elevation than we think and that even the slightest of slope can really make a difference. You might want to go to a nearby…

Strange thing happened to me today... did Couch To 5K W4D3... then, felt real energized, and at my usual mark to turn back toward home, I just kept going. Went ahead and did C25K W5D1. I guess, in the words of one of my most favorite characters, Forest, Forest Gump, "I just felt like running!" Felt good!

Way to go jlm0710, you can do it!

Congratulations, blondie_0x and G_RRR! Way to go. Finished W4D2 just now. Somehow wound up on an uphill portion around my neighborhood for the second 5 min jog. It taxed me more than I anticipated running uphill! But, I finished. Everyone have a great weekend!
-
Way to go @Laughter_Girl! Good job. I'm right behind you. Just did Week 4, Day 1. Felt good... Two 5 min jogs... I'll take it! I'm proud of myself for getting it done.
-
C25K W3D2... felt real nice! Felt blessed to be able to be out there doing it all wrong... but it's alright!
-
Congratulations, all you runners! Especially you, Lau_uk, Laughter_Girl, and stephnerR! You bunch of crazy runners! Finished W3D1 this evening. It was nice!
-
Completed W2D3 today! It was a glorious Spring morning here in Colo, so the time went pretty fast. Exceeded my upper limit heart rate on one uphill portion, but it went back down during the next walking cycle. Looking forward to W3!
-
Just finished W2D2... pretty good!
-
Nice job, Lau_uk!!! Way to go!
-
Completed W2D1 last night. Felt good. I was proud of myself for doing it. Had a long day at the office and didn't get to walking/jogging/waddling until around 11PM, but it was the day I had set to do it and gosh darn it, I was going to do it. I'm sure some people will think that's dumb, but it felt good to me. W2D2 coming…

@Lovenestwesr Thanks for this. Well said!
-
@Lau_uk You're right! That's such a huge jump for W5D3!! All I can say is congratulations to you for making that effort! And, in the rain, even!!! Keep at it!
-
Completed C25K - W1D3 Felt good. Started out with 30 min of FitStar's Chest, Shoulders & Core workout and then went outside for my C25K waddling on a beautiful Colorado Spring day! How's everyone doing? Please post your stories... motivates me to go again.
