I loved reading your blog post. I'm inweek 8 now, and looking ahead to that first 5K. Trying not to worry about time (I'm very slow), and just focusing on going the distance. There will be time to improve in the next race. Not to mention, I know I'll at least achieve my Personal Record in my first race

I Finished C25K Today!

Congratulations! I'm just starting W8 myself. If all goes well, I should be "graduating" at the end of next week and celebrating like you are now. Good luck in your first race!

Winter coming

Wish I had some advice. I'm very interested in this subject too. Hope you get some responses soon!

OMG @KristiRPhTX: I'm glad you are all right! What a close call. Definitely take a few days off to recover and make sure you are ok.

Thanks for the encouraging words everyone. You are all doing so well and it's exciting to read about each day. The doctor wants me to be pain free for a week (maybe two) before running. I know it's for the best, but I'm dying to get out there. I'll follow doctor's orders though.

I still get to feel involved by coming here and keeping up with all the progress. It's keeping me motivated and excited to get back on the program.

Keep up the good work!!!

....oh, and thanks for explaining the display name thing. That is really odd.

Good morning everyone! This is only my second time posting, but I've been enjoying the inspiration of everyone.

I just lost a whole week of training . A few weeks ago my knee started to bother me and I just thought it was another out of shape muscle getting used to all of this, so I kept running. Bad idea! Turns out I tore some tendons and it got really bad last Monday when I forced it too much. I've been ordered to rest it, ice it, and do strengthening exercises. It's almost completely better now and after seeing the doctor tonight I hope he gives the thumbs up to get back out there.

I was just starting W5 when this happened and now I feel like I need to repeat at least a day of W4 to ease back into it. So annoying as everyone else is going into at least W6 now.

Thanks in part to keeping up with this thread though, I'm not going to quit. I'm still motivated. A little delayed, but not out of the game.

Thanks to you all for keeping me on track through this rough patch. I'm glad to see everyone getting past their own struggles and not giving up!

*** One last thing. My Display Name isn't showing on my posts. It wants to show my first and last even though I unchecked the box to show publicly. Is anyone having this problem? Know how to fixt it? ***

Hi! First time posting. I'm Laura. Just did W4D2 this morning in the heat. I agree with the others who posted today. Definitely harder in the humidity. Going really early seems to be the only way I can do it. Had a to cheat a little on my 5 min. runs today . Took maybe 30 sec to walk in the middle. I won't move to the next week until I can run all the runs though, so I think I might be in W4 for a second week. That's ok, I keep going. That's the biggest change for this couch potato. I'm sticking with it....loving it....and excited to go out each time!

Great thread here! So great to have others to check in with.
