Impressive! I did C25K almost exactly 2 years ago. It was so hard but I remember how it was a plan and I just did it because it was my plan. I wish I could motivate/commit to doing it again...

Ss - broccoli/orange pepper with spicy hummus
Lots o' walking, yoga (I really need :yoga: at this point... so out of shape from the last terrible month)
D - I am thinking a giant Caesar salad (homemade dressing; no croutons) with something on top - fish/shrimp/soy product, depending on what I pick up at the store.
dessert - yogurt with wild blueberries
