I'm done with 7 weeks of Couch to 5K, I have 2 full weeks left. This week with the 25 minute runs was a bit of a struggle, but I kinda tested myself today, it was hard to finish the 25 minutes, but after 4 minutes of a cool down brisk walk, I was able to run again! I think I can make it the 30 next week and the 35 in two weeks, I want to run 5Ks, the whole thing, so badly! Yeah, that makes me sound like a runner, too.
Also, ALSO....I got up this morning, before WORK, gave up SLEEPING IN, and went running! ME! Miss loves bed, miss loves to lounge with my kitties, read my phone, snuggle in....I got up and RAN! Oh my gosh, I feel so good today that I did that! I just feel energized and happy that I'm done with my cardio, wow, love it!

Anyone wanna tell me a running story? Are you just EXHAUSTED when you finish running? When is your favorite time of day to run or exercise outside? Do you pick a path ahead of time or do you just go with the flow and turn around halfway?
I'm excited for C25K to be done, so that I don't have to time myself and just run when I want, walk break when I want, run some more, etc..I think I'd get a lot further and faster!

Who's a runner? YOU'RE a runner! :D
I think that's a Catalpa (Indian Bean) tree. It's so pretty and full!
Congratulations on reaching "Runner" status! That's an exciting accomplishment.
I wanted to share a little tid-bit with you about my dad's running experience. He was a cross-country and track runner in high school/college, but got out of practice after starting a family. Around my mid-teens he started running again, and set a goal for himself to run at least one marathon. He's done 7 since then, and recently completed his best time by running a mile then walking a minute. I wanted to share this story with you because I think it speaks to the fact that being a "runner" is mostly a mentality -- and you're TOTALLY there!
My favorite time to run? Early in the morning before everyone gets up. I did C25K last February. I didn't finish until June, but when I did I was so proud of myself. Keep up the great work.
I'm so proud of you! You're inspiration to me even though I'm just a day or so behind you. Thanks for the inspiration!
Corryn - thanks for the info on the tree! It is super cool looking and pretty!
Leah - thank you!! Runner me!
Kari - thank you for the support. Yes, I think I'm starting to like early, too! I think the hot sun slows me down. My BEST run was in Washington state on a misty morning!
Amy - Oh my gosh, thank you, you're so sweet. I'm so happy I can stir up inspiration! Hope to run another 5K with you soon!
