I did it!!!! I ran my first 5k!!
I finished it in 32:08. I shaved almost 2 minutes off my per mile time while training with the c25k. In the rain no less!!
I will honestly say that it hurt for the last half mile. I was pleading my Dh to slow down towards the end and I was seeing spots for the last 20 seconds as sprinted over the finish line but, we did it!!!!! We ran over the finish line holding hands and had the exact same finish time. I love this because we were going back and forth over if we should stick together or not. In the end we decided to. (This is his first 5K also)
I started WW at the end of January and I am down almost 15 pounds. I started the C25K 9 weeks ago. This may not seem like such a big deal to everyone else but, I have NEVER stuck with a diet and workout plan for more than a few weeks. So I am so proud of myself.
Here are some pics of DH and I and my aunt... and Liam photobombing us.
Up next, is breaking 30 minutes!
ETA: I added a before photo. It's just of my face because I was at the point where I was avoiding cameras and wearing all black. But, I can see a difference in my face.

CONGRATS!!!!! SO EXCITING!
I just started the c25K today! I loathe running, but I made a personal commitment to do this and even signed up for a 5K in July to keep me motivated.
You success is extra motivation for me!!

That is exactly what I did. I signed up for the 5k and told everyone about it. That way I had two huge motivators to keep me going.. shame and money! It worked!

Yay congrats! See, now you set goals for yourself and you won't be able to stop! Its so motivating!
You look AMAZING and you definitely look like a runner (you can do a lot more than a 5k  )

I was the same way! I felt like my chest was going to explode with the 90 second runs. I was saying that there is NO way this will work But, it did! good luck!

I read that the other day. It says that in order to do that you need to be running A LOT longer than I am currently running. I think I am going to do a few 5 K's the summer (maybe 2 a month) and see if my time starts to decrease.
