hornblower Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Last night I finished week 5 of Couch to 5 K. I'm more than 1/2 way through the program! So happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradandmeplus2 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Brag away baby! That's so great! We should be able to share those successes with some pride! Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Wow, that's awesome. I tried to do the couch to 5K once and I just couldn't. I thought they moved too fast in regard to how soon and how much they had you increase jogging time. I'm sure I could have just extended it longer, but I decided that what it comes down to in the end is that I hate jogging/running lol. I'm impressed with anyone who can actually stick with that!

Jennifer in MI Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Congratulations!!!!! That is awesome! Are you going to sign up for a race? The races are what keep me running. I just love the rush!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa R. Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 You should be happy!! Great job. I started the program last year in May after never jogging before in my life. I've been jogging every week since--except for the week my daughter had surgery. It took me awhile to actually enjoy the jogging. Hang in there and keep up the good work!

hornblower Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Thanks everyone! I am pretty excited about this. I've never been a runner, always got winded so fast & got a stitch & just felt awful. Honestly I still hate it. But I went in thinking it doesn't matter if I hate it - it's good for me & it's efficient, & I need to do something to combat my rapidly expanding pre-menopause butt. My 15yo dd is doing it with me & that's been fun. She has LONG legs & she's fitter so she runs faster, but we're running on a track so I can see her & we high 5 each other as she passes me. Anyone who has been thinking about it, really give c25k a try. I was not fit at all when I started - week 1 hurt me LOL. With the podcasts, it's actually sort of fun & it really does work. I'm glad to be 'over the hump' & past the 1/2 way mark. I hope the 2nd half is not worse than the first! p.s. I haven't planned on entering races but you've planted the seed :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Woohoo!!! You go girl! I consider myself to be pretty active, but I hate running. I am totally impressed that you have stuck with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donovans4 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Congrats! This program really does work. My DS (12) and I worked through the program and then ran a 5K race, now we are running a 4 mile race on Sunday (4 on the 4th). I have found that paying an entry fee really keeps me motivated to keep running! Keep up the good work, graduation day feels so good!
