Jennifer Just finished W5D2 and found it tough. I'm going on holiday tomorrow but taking my running shoes - and my running buddy - with me to attempt W5D3 in another country. How am I ever going to manage 20 minutes when I found the second 8 minute interval so hard today?

The holidays are here, and maybe the goose is getting fat, but runners aren't. Despite chilly temps, icy roads and early nightfall, they're still out there. Wha

Lisa Pockran W5D3!!!!! I did it!!! Been dreading that 20 min run!!! Feel great now that it is done :-)

Michelle Finally finished week 5 - day one (after 3 attempts). I will go ahead and move on to day 2 tomorrow or Sunday. Persistence is key, never thought I would be able to run like this...to think I use to struggle with 2 minutes.

Amanda First 5k is on Saturday!! I am nervous but excited :)

Chad McCarty Finished W4d1 today, a bit apprehensive today based on my W3d1 run. I guess I'm doing better than I thought. Run went great I even pushed alittle further after my last run interval. Looking forward to my next run. Not ready for a 5k just yet, planning to run a local New Years Day 5k. For everyone who ran their first 5k today, way to go. Keep up the good work yall

Ran my first 5k today. Wasn't real impressed on my time, but they started the clock for ALL of us at the same time. So we "started" when we were standing still in the mob. Time was 39:45, so not sure what it really would have been. Just started running again Tuesday after 2.5 wks off for messed up foot. So part of my r...un was a walk. Guess all things considered it wasn't TOO bad.... Goal for next time is FASTER!!! lol
Good luck all and see you on the Gateway to 8K FB page :)

Cherie Robert Taylor W8D2 was my Turkey Trot! RAN all 3.1 miles....42:40...Not super fast, but 8 weeks ago, I couldn't run for 1 minute!!! Thanks C25K for helping me out!!! Next week, Reindeer Run....will do it again!!!!!!

Jennifer Turkey Trot! I ran 36:16 w/ 11:43 mile av. Not bad for a race where I had to walk the first 2 minutes cause there were 12,000 runners! And today was W9D3!

Nikki Fortner Almog well, i wasn't ready to do a Turkey Trot this year, so i did a Nikki Trot instead! W5D2 complete! i cannot believe i actually ran a full 8 mins not only once but TWICE! i have never done that in my life before. WOOHOOOOOOOO!!!! now for the BIG jump.

Sam It was hard running in the heat yesterday but I completed W1D2 - was fire engine red at the end and didn't cool down for an hour but it was a little easier than I expected. Off for an 8km walk now!

Keith Brown Pile of potato chips before bed = far more sweat on the morning run. Also, w9d2 done. Congrats to all who did their 5ks today!
