Graduation!

I have officially graduated from my Couch to 5K running program! It only took us (my running pals and I) 10 weeks (the program is for 9 weeks but somewhere in the middle there we repeated a week) to complete! Holla! I'm so excited. I can hardly believe that we are now running 30 minutes straight! Our 5K is next weekend and we are excited, nervous, anxious etc. We just want to finish running! And let me tell you that I would rather pass out from shear exhaustion or lack of strength than to give up next Saturday! I don't want to let myself down...not after all this work. Oh, and when I cross that finish line - don't be surprised if you see tears streaming down my face! You might think I just completed a marathon because to me, it will feel like it!!! haha

Great job! I'm proud of you! I just started running too (on a treadmill). I hate every minute of it, but have worked up to 3 miles without stopping. One thing's for sure though, I don't think I'll ever be a "runner"! Good luck on the race!

Good luck next weekend! We'll be looking for your crew. I'm debating doing the 1-mile with Micah in the baby jogger. I'd die in the 5k...fitness has sort of gone by the wayside since September ;-)

We WILL run the entire 5k and cross that finish line. We have been each others strength the whole 10 weeks. I know I couldn't have done it without the 2 of you. I am so excited!!!
