5 Reasons that EVERYONE Should Try C25K!

That’s right EVERYONE. I can’t think of an exception.
I just completed the C25K running program, a.k.a. the Couch to 5 K. Check the internet, people talk about this program all over the place and with good reason. It is designed to take a non-running, couch potato and turn them into a runner. By the end [...]

C25K Progress Summary

To make room for pages with more up to date information I thought I would unpublish my C25K page and post the contents in the regular blog area. Mostly all it is is a list of the dates of my runs. For many of them I didn’t get accurate distances when I was running outside. [...]

C25K - Week 9 Run 3

Not with a bang but a whimper…
I’m done. I finished the C25K. I have been running consistently for 9 weeks. I know I can run 30 minutes non-stop because I’ve done it before. I didn’t, however, do it today. I had to stop to walk about 4 times because my shins were so pumped up [...]

C25K - Week 9 Run 2!!!!

By now my regular runs have become pretty, well, regular. I ran by the harbour again. It is so nice and flat there and the scenery is wonderful. Some other friendly runners there too and even though I don’t know them, just that little nod reminds me that like them, I too am now a [...]

C25K - Week 8 Run 3 and Week 9 Run 1

Wow, time flies when you are running and having fun. I didn’t get a chance to post about my run on Sunday.
In the middle of last week, I decided that going for distance was resulting in my increasing the mileage a bit too quickly for comfort. I was having trouble going the distance and found [...]

C25K - Week 8 Run 2

I CANNOT believe that I have only 4 runs left until the end of my C25K training. I can do this! I can totally do this and I am doing this.
I ran during the work day today, took a break in the afternoon and went out for my run. It was a bleak winter day [...]

C25K - Week 8 Run 1

I had to double check my week when I realized I was in week 8. Hard to believe. Really hard to believe. Next week I will be running 5K.
Today, I thought it would be a cool idea to run over the same ground I did earlier in the program, back when I was running  90 [...]

C25K - Week 7 Run 3

Whoo Hoo I had a great run today. I didn’t really think it was going to go well. I went to a single malt whiskey tasting event last night and I figured that would be reflected in my running this afternoon. It wasn’t. For the first 3 min of the run it barely felt like [...]

C25K - Week 7 Run 2

I woke up this morning feeling like I was getting sick. I am determined to beat it back down. For a short while I considered not doing my run but I had plenty of energy this afternoon and it was beautiful outside so I went for it. I’ve been posting about my runs on the [...]

C25K - Week 7 Run 1

This week’s runs are all nonstop. Today I decided to run for distance which means a 4K run. It was super hard. I can only hope that it will get a little bit easier. I’m confident it will eventually and pushing myself makes me feel good when it is all said and done.
Here is what [...]
