Cherylseptember Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hello all! I am a soon-to-be 45 yr old woman who has never run before. I have friends who run 5Ks and half Marathons and I have always joked that I would only run if zombies were chasing me. Recently my 11 yr old daughter started playing soccer and we had a parent/child scrimmage. By the end of it, I was afraid that I might need to call an ambulance. At that point, I decided that some running conditioning might be in order. So, here I am. Tonight I will do W3D3. I am surprised at what Ive been able to do so far! My goal is to "celebrate" turning 45 by running a 5K. Also hoping a a few of these vanity pounds fall off in the process.

Cherylseptember Posted July 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Thanks for the encouragement! I literally JUST finished W4D4. I'm excited about the idea of being able to run a 5K before I go back to school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorrainetr Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Wow there's hope for me! I'm 49 and always joke I don't even run for a bus!I hate exercise but my friend has just finished C25K and has totally inspired me so I thought I would give it a go. Just finished day 1. I thought I was going to die but I ran all but round five when I walked. Felt a bit of a twit in the local park but I did it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherylseptember Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Lorraine, you go girl! I feel like if I can do this,,pretty much anyone can. Tomorrow is W5D2. I am at the point where routine changes every day, not every week. It's a bit scary, but reading a lot of these posts encourage me. Keep at It!
