wicked wow moment

first of i wanna say thank u to the person who posted the 5k challenge. it is something i have wanted to do for a long time.i have been training for 5 weeks now and start week 6 tomorrow morning. sorry i can't remember who originally posted the challenge but i thank u! ok now for the wow moment. so on day three of week 5 on the training program was to run 2 miles. and i'll be damned if i did it without stopping. i was so excited when i was done, and very fricken tired. this may not be a huge thing to a lot of people, but i know u guys will appreciate how big of an accomplishment that was. and just to let u all know, my 5k is on oct. 13. my training takes me pretty much right up to this date. i am already registered and paid so i gotta do it now. i am so excited for this.

That is so awesome!      I want to run a marathon :)  Take lots of pics!!!!!!    Congrats!

Congrats!  I did my first 5k last year for the ACS Breast Cancer Walk... it was a great feeling... not only doing something good for me... but helping others as well! Next Saturday I am doing the Walk from Obesity! Keep up the great work!

That is awesome! I made the 5k distance a goal early on and have been doing it since about two months post-op - but mostly walking 3.2 mph....I have been jogging more and more of it but usually no more then a quarter mile at a time....I'm going to do my first "real" (non-treadmill) 5k next month in Scottsdale, AZ at the local Walk From Obesity event....Any other Phoenix twenty-somethings planning on participating?

Definately one for the books!  That's fantabulous!

WOW that is so awesome. It was me who posted the original challenge. Sorry to say I have not posted an update here lately. Ive been busy whit school and everything.. You are doing awesome. i am about a week behind you on my training. It is going okay for me. My main challenge is finding time to get my training in. Glad you posted. It is really encouraging. I will try and step up my training now. You are doing freaking awesome! Let us all know how your 5k on the 13th goes. 

Thank you very much. you are the one who finally got me off my ass to start training for the 5k. i really appreciate it. i wish u luck with ur training. and i will definately keep everyone updated on my 5k.

WOW! thats great! I just started working out so i did 1 mile a couple of days ago and i'm working on completing 2 miles soon! (just walking not running yet, i guess i could sprint once in a while, i should do that!)

Great job! Keep it up! I'm sure you'll do great in the 5k.

I think that is great. I saw the couch to 5k running plan and I thought it would be a great thing to try. I got to the first day of week 3 and could not go any further. It seemed like an easy enough plan when I started but I am just not able to keep on the designated schedule. How are you doing with moving on to the more difficult steps. I thought maybe I should loose a bit more weight and try again in a few weeks.
