Feeling pretty pumped - I finished my couch-to-5K program! It actually works! Two months ago I could barely run over two minutes... today I ran for thirty!

It's such an amazing feeling of accomplishment to have finished this training program.

If you guys would like to see my metrics, they are here.

I honestly don't think bravery comes into it. I think as someone who does research for a living, I'm partially immune to avoiding failure. I'd always rather try something out and fail than to have never tried. Besides, you have to live life that way, right? One of the reasons I had this surgery was so I could do things I couldn't do before.... like move my body with my legs down the road....

Congratulations! I have a 5k coming up this summer; was going to walk it but perhaps I will try this program.

awesome! Wish I could run but arthritis benched me before the weight did - but I'll be out there walking 5K again one day!
