C25K

Is anyone else doing a C25K? I am on week 2 day 3. So proud I made it this far. Never thought I would be trying to run a 5k at my size. I hope I can manage week 3. Would love to hear from others on this journey.

    Finished week 5 part one. I will do part two next week and hopefully my first 20 min run. I signed up to do a 5k on April 24 with my son. It will be one week before my 1 year surgiversary! A great way to mark that very special anniversary. I now have extra motivation to get through my C25K program.

    Signing up for yor first race is always exciting and nerve wracking. It's for real now! My first half marathon is the same day as your 5k and I'm in full on panic mode now. Just have to keep reminding myself that I can just walk it if I need to. Congrats on your progress so far and it sounds like you'll be in great shape by the time your race rolls around!

    It went well. I didn't run fast but I finished. There were a lot of big hills which I was not prepared for. Making it up the hills surprised me.
