C25K Graduate.

I ran 3.16 miles today!

It was a fight with myself for the approximately 34 minutes it took, but I did it.  Just like all of the other workouts over the past nine weeks, I didn't cheat for a second, I followed the plan, and low and behold I am now able to run 5 kilometers. 

I would be remiss if I didn't again thank Sara's friend/coworker Beckey for motivating me to do this. 

Thank you Beckey.

I am proud to say that C25K is now behind me, but that doesn't mean I am stopping now.  I am pondering which program to tackle next.  I am leaning towards the Bridge to 10K plan, or what the heck, maybe I'll just start a marathon training program (not going to happen...at this point).

I am a runner.

  2. Omigosh! I am so flipping proud of you! You used the "r" word! Mega congratulations, Matt. You've been the most devoted C25K'er I've seen yet and it definitely paid off ... that's a stunning 5K time! I hope you're ready to kill the course on Saturday. =)
