Guys, I don't even know how to contain my awesome feelings right now. I am SO super stoked, and I can't pretend to hide it!

Yesterday, after much contemplation and a bit of reading, I decided that I want to try to do the C25K program. Everyone seems to rave about how wondeful it is, and I've always wished I was better at running.

Today... I did Week 1, Day 1...

AND I FEEL AWESOME!!!!

I did it! I really, really did it! Day one is a five minute warmup, followed by 60 seconds of running alternating with 90 seconds of walking, and a five minute cooldown. Comes out to 31 minutes, and I freaking DID it!!!! I ran the entire time when I was supposed to, I made great use of my walking time to even my breathing out if I needed it... And I got home more sweaty than I think I've ever been in my freaking life! So happy right now. SO, so happy!

That is awesome!!! I read what you do for day one, so I know how much work you did today. Keep it up!

Congrats!

Ninepaw, what a FANTASTIC job! I have never heard of C25k until now. You are so inspiring! I know what I'm doing Monday! Please keep us updated and let us know how it goes!!

You go girl!!!

Great job! Know that every Mon, Wed and Friday morning I'm at my gym, doing the same thing! So excited, yet nervous, to try the next week's workout!

Woo! So happy for you! Keep it up! I am sure we are all interested in hearing how this works out for you!

Awesome! I started with C25K, also, and remember what an accomplishment it felt like, doing that first workout. Congratulations!

Nice work! Congratulations!

Cheers,

J

Way to go! Congrats

That is awesome!!!!!! Great job, keep it up!

Good job! I'm looking at the library to see if any of these are available!

that is sooo awesome! My DH convinced me to do that in Jan. Before then I couldn't run one minute without needing an oxygen mask!!! I remember being so scared of the 5 min run *gasp*...then read ahead and saw there would be a 28 min run.. what? are you kidding me?

now i have to say running is one of my fav things. I even ran a 4.2 mile run in April with a friend and now we are training for the half marathon in Jan 2011. It really can change you.

I am very proud of you..since only a few months ago I was in your same shoes! WTG!!!

Great job! I started the C25K training maybe a week and a half ago but I am repeating week 1. I have had problems with running in the past and don't want to over do it. Congratulations and keep it up!

Aw man if you were just a bit closer I would say we should do our c25k training together! I am in Davis though.
