YEAH! If you can run 10 miles you can absolutely do a 1/2 marathon. I got up to 8 miles before surgery, so I hope to quickly get back to that level when I can. It's such a feeling of accomplishment when you're done. Don't worry about speed that will come with time (says the world's slowest runner).

C25K is short for Couch to 5K, it is a running program for beginners, it gives you a weekly schedule to follow where you run intervals with walking in between, you gradually increase your running time until you are doing a total of 3.1 miles!

very motivating! i am trying to completely run a 5k instead of walk/running and its taking FOREVER. tonight i did a 2 mile walk/run and alternated 90 seconds each. i can only dream about a year from now being where you are and running 7 miles. i'd be happy with 6!
congratulations!

I started off not even being able to do the 30 seconds in the first week, and I can't even tell you how many times I had to do weeks over before I could get it. The number one thing that I found out was that proper form, breathing, clothing and foot wear is ESSENTIAL! Once I got those things down the running came so much easier and I found myself being able to do things I never thought I could.
