sharika 62 Posted January 28, 2014 Onedaycloser, I started Couch to 5K training four weeks ago. I ran/walked a 5k in 30 minutes this weekend! Let me tell you, with my history of bad knees I NEVER thought this could happen. I love the surprises in this journey! 1 Redwillow13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeanZ_RN 378 Posted January 28, 2014 WOW you look terRIFic! Congratulations! I am so envious! I also have bad knees, and I haven't even considered running. What made you decide it was worth a try? I'm afraid of my worse one giving way, and then I'd fall, get all banged up, maybe even hurt the knee more. Any words of wisdom? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus my dog was getting fat!! I looked at a couch to 5K program and saw the first week was only running for 60 seconds at a time. I promised myself I would give it two weeks and see how it went. Just try it. If it's not for you, then no harm done. It's about getting out there and having a sense if adventure!! Go as slow as you need to! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyleebean 209 Posted January 28, 2014 I am super impressed with you and you are my new (s)hero..... I have been contemplating c25k and honestly it seems daunting. I'm still really overweight. Although, I can walk a couple miles with no problem, I worry my joints will rebel! But you have given me some motivation. 1 sharika reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just move at your own pace. There's a Zombies! Run! App that takes you through a story if a zombie apocalypse as you do the c25k. I might switch to that one. Sounds fun!

Butterflyhigh 504 Posted January 28, 2014 Hot Damn lady...you look gorgeous! But even cooler than your looks is the fact that you just completed a 5k! You must be so amazed and proud of yourself. That is one of my deepest desires...to be the hot mamma who is jogging through the park on a regular basis. You are inspirational! 1 sharika reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
