....well, yeh...I DID change my course (having to RUN the entire distance allotted to the 5 minute cool down WALK Wednesday to make the 25 minutes). I'm still doing the "HILL" and running (to use the term very loosely)it...and added some more inclines. In 25 minutes I covered 3.2k, so i don't see a sub-30 minute 5K in my future, but that's ok....for me, it's really about getting off the couch. Not shifting any weight...but that's ok too...it'll come down as I run more and more miles, and with weight loss (I need to lose 2 stone, gulp!) will come, hopefully, increased speed. (Think of running carrying a hod of bricks.) Onward and upward..but not TOO upward..lol

So, yeh....still plodding along.... still thank CaroleC for pointing me here and I still love C25K!

Woohoo! That is so similar to me except I could do with losing 4 stone :o Those hills, I have a couple too and they are beginning to not be so scary! I love the way you are so positive about your achievements - I keep fretting about my slowness and lack of distance. You are saying you are off the couch and its ok to not be Usain Bolt at the moment :) Well done you

I've avoided hills so far - sounds like you're doing great :-)
