JoeInLa Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Week 8 day 2 today! This was probably the best I've felt after a run since starting. This app has done wonders for me!! When I started the program, I had serious doubts about whether I'd be this far along in 8 short weeks, but I stuck with it, and it feels great..... Bring on that 5k!!!

lorrainetr Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Week 1 day 1 for me. I have never been a runner, don't even run for the bus! Been inspired by a friend who has completed C25K! I thought I was going to die! I walked round five but ran the others. Felt a bit of a twit in the local park but I did it! I'm going to do strength training tomorrow. Time to bust out Chalean Extreme again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catlynk Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 It's been a long time since I last posted. But today was an exceptional day!! When I started training in mid January, I was fortunate to find two ladies near my age and in the same shape! Winners at being couch potatoes. We all live in different states, but communicated almost daily, our struggles and success as we advanced through the 8 weeks. We all believe that if we didn't have our little group we would have given up at some point. But having others to be accountable to got us to where we are today! Yesterday we traveled from different parts of the country and meet up in Chicago and ran the Rock 'n' Roll 5K together. I so wish I could post a picture of us at the finish line!! Hey Torus!!! Still going strong!! Good to see your posts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
