Yesterday I turned 40, 50 pounds lighter, and finished day 3 week 3 of C25K.

This has been one of the best things I've done for myself physically (second to getting sleeved). I just completed week 5 day 1. I made it through and even jogged 6 minutes instead of 5 in the last segment but I think I'll do the same tomorrow. Not sure if I'm quite ready to move on yet but I will get there I feel awesome about myself when I get it done in the morning. And I registered for my first 5k yesterday (November 30!).

Forgot to post W7D2 finished! Can't believe that I can run that much, and that I actually like it

Hi I am just one year out and have been training for my first half marathon. I did a 5K earlier this year and will be doing a 10k next week. Please start slow and listen to your body. You can do this!!

Hi everyone. This is my first post. I would like to encourage everyone to continue with your exercise as hard as you can. As u lose your body will move so much better. Please go slow and listen to your body but push yourself to do some things You will be so surprised when u see that u can!!

Awesome job Melissa! Not quitting is the solution to the C25K program. I was in W5 at the beginning of August and now run 5 miles at a time. I'm running a 5K tomorrow a 10K in November, another 10K in January (in Maui!!), and a half marathon in February (Disney!). I'm addicted!

Only 1 more week? Awesome! What are your plans when you finish?

Great job Misty! Have you scheduled a 10K race yet? My first one is next month and I can't wait.

Way to go! It's amazing what you'll be able to accomplish. Have you scheduled your first 5K yet?

[deedadumble 1,033]

I've been struggling lately with some knee and hip pain, but trying to run through it (not a good idea!). Took some days off to rest this week, but getting back on my program tomorrow morning at a local 5K.

I'm still working my modified Hal Higdon plan for running the half marathon in February. I'm up to 5 miles for my long runs. Also, going to Maui and Lanai to Celebrate my 1 year surgiversary with my sleeve sister in January and hoping to run the Maui Oceanfront 10K.

Hope everyone has good runs this weekend!

No I haven't scheduled a race yet. I haven't gotten to 10k yet, only 8. I had knee pain when I walked for about 8 hours one day and ran the next. All back to normal after a day of "rest" (only walked maybe 3 hours). I have another day off before I run again.

Wow, be careful. Keep up the good work!
