Couch to 5K Anyone want to start with me ?

Hi everyone!

Well, I HAVEN'T started swimming yet. For some reason I'm just as reluctant to add another activity to my repertoire as I am to do everything else! I think I might be a commitment-a-phobe.

However, I did finish day one of week 9 last night. This time, my running partner and I have decided to KEEP RUNNING!!!!!! So, instead of quitting all-together for 2 months and having to start the program over, I am just going to CONTINUE to run 30 minutes/3 miles 3 times a week and start working on speed. What a novel concept!!!!!!!

I think this thread is officially dead. Well, regardless--I'm going to tell anyone who cares that I ran 5K last night!!! Even though I've completed the C25K program twice now, I've never before run a 5k--have just been running for Time, not Distance. But, last night I did it! It took me about 35 1/2 minutes, I averaged an 11:32 minute mile, and it felt GOOD!!! Woo Hoo!

Hey Stranger,

No, this thread is not officially dead. I've been following it during my recovery from surgery and I can't wait to be actively joining you guys again.

Great job!!! You're doing wonderfully, and I've enjoyed the updates!!!

Daddy, I think I congratulated you on the Tri, but if I didn't, you'll have to forgive me because I'm on drugs right now ( ).

Congrats!!!! You're a rock star Sir!!!! :thumbup::cool2:
