Feeling proud

I have just done run one of week 7. I found it Ok and even managed to up my pace for the last 60 seconds. I run on a treadmill as my joints are not that good, but I don't think there are too many 58 year old grandma's out there who can manage 25 minutes running. I am so proud of myself but would not have been able to do it without the C25K. I cannot wait to graduate, hopefully before our 40th wedding anniversary in April.

Well done, that's fantastic. I am on exactly the same run as you. Reading other people's posts, it sounds like it just gets better, too.

You should feel rightfully proud. It's nothing to do with age and everything to do with attitude and desire. Well done you!

Like you, I'm on wk 7 and doing c25k indoors - suits me and you're right it's all a real boost, isn't it? We'll be graduates very soon now. I'm so impressed by everything C25K , it really works. Sincere thanks to all who post such positive and helpful messages

Like you, I am on week 7 and run indoors on my treadmill, and upped the pace for the last 60 seconds. It was so weird reading your post as I thought that is me, only difference is you have 10 years on me. So I take my hat off to you and look forward to hearing that you graduate before that anniversary as you deserve it x
