Photoyogi24 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Good morning everybody. I decided to put up a quick post before I head out for a morning run. This is my first time using the forums, but I am not new to the C25K program. I used it during the summer when I was first getting into running. Long story short, early fall brought lots of work and family related travel, and because I had never hit the 5k mark, I just sort of forgot all about it. Fast forward to present, a couple of weeks ago I joined up with a free local running club. Joining up with that running club really reinvigorated me (I highly recommend doing this if you are new and want the extra motivation/accountability). To my surprise, although I hadn't really run much, I magically hit 5k 2 days ago. I say magically because I truly do not know how I did it as I was struggling hard to reach 4k during the week prior. And hitting that mark really encouraged me to seriously get back into it, cold weather be damned. So, I am back, trying to consistently hit the 5k mark and of course improve on it. I live in Ottawa, where it gets extremely cold and snowy, but I will be running out doors as much as I can. Looking forward to chatting with others here. Especially if you are living in Ottawa, I would love to make some new friends here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob129 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hi, a running club sounds like a great idea. I have similar demands on time so I run early in morning on week days; maybe able to spend a weekend day with a club. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
