been doing C25K for 7 weeks now but took this long to get to the end of week 5. just did the 5min warm up 20 min run and 5 min cool down. overall covered 5KM according to Mapmyfitness.com but also my run in the 20 minutes was 3.7 KM so I'm really pleased this is my first real successful non stop run. C25K is an ace program to follow. Can't wait to finish the course and run the whole five K. would never have thought it possible by me!!

Great job!
If there are any close to you, sign up for a Turkey Trot run. You'll be surprised how well you do in a organized run!

There are a lot of us on here that never would have thought it possible. I finished the c25k and I'll be running my first 5k on the 28th. I'm getting so excited. Good luck to you. You can do this.

Good for you, momma!
Organized runs are motivating because you can gauge yourself against other runners!
