I am starting week 5 day one on Sunday and looking forward to challenging myself more this weekend. HOpe i can do it!
You will do awesome!!! 
Thank you soo soo much! I started week 5 yesterday and had no problems whatsoever with it. I cannot believe how much endurance I have built in 5 weeks. I am really very proud of myself considering before this I was never able to run at all! Thanks for all your help ladies!
Thats great!!
I started week 5 today and definitely noticed such an improvement in my endurance as well. The last five minutes was easier than the first!
Yes I think the last 5 minutes was totally easier. Any particular race you are looking to do! I would love to have someone else there as wel! I am not sure yet which 5K i want to do I guess i will see how I am doing in the next few weeks!

Not sure what race to do yet. There are two in Long Beach over the summer (July & August) that I'd like to do, but want to do one (or more) before then.
Anyone have any recommendations??
Today I did day 2 of week 5, woo hoo!

Re: The un-official Couch to 5K thread
I did day 3 of week 5 this morning and I didn't stop once!!! I'm so happy, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to keep it up, but I was fine. It was also the first time that I ran with dh's ipod, and that helped a lot!

Re: The un-official Couch to 5K thread
Well I did day 3 of week 5 on Saturday and also did not stop once. It was amazing! I think I was more nervous that I would not be able to do the entire 20 minutes without stopping but I did and then after I did the 20 minutes I really could have kept running but didn't. I just wanted to follow the exact plan!
I was so happy!

It really is. I never would have thought that I would be able to run 2 miles without stopping. I am so happy thanks so much for your support!

Thanks for noticing! I was actually a day behind where I wanted to be by this point, but I finally caught up. I did Day 1 of Week 5 this morning! I can't believe I'm more than halfway through...I never thought I'd last this long!

That's the inspiration that will keep you going!!! That and realizing one day while sitting that your legs are firmer!

Re: The un-official Couch to 5K thread
Today I finished week 6!! I didn't stop at all, and its amazing to me that I feel the best during those last two minutes. I don't know if its because i know i'm almost done, or if its actually getting easier, but it felt great! Almost there!

Re: The un-official Couch to 5K thread
Hi ladies! You all have inspired me to try running again. I used to run in hs and college but haven't in awhile. Everytime I try to get back into it, I end up giving up. I'm hoping the couch to 5k will help me do it this time.
I did week one for the first time today and it wasn't that bad. I downloaded the podcast to my ipod which helped.

Re: The un-official Couch to 5K thread
Thats great! Before I started I read what week 5 was, and thought there's no way i'll be able to do that. But the program is great and it definitely gets easier as the weeks go on.

I know! I totally thought that there was no way I would be able to last that long! Today i did day 1 of week 7, and although i had a cramp most of the time, i kept going, and again it got easier towards the end. I can't believe we're almost done with the program!

I keep forgetting to post. How nice to see some newcomers!
I just finished Week 5 today. The 20-minutes without stopping was definitely tough, but I did it!
