Finished C25K!
After 2 years of PT, 8 years of lasting leg injuries, gaining over 40 lbs, and being away from running for nearly 6 years…
I finally decided to get to work conditioning my stamina and my legs to start working towards my eventual goal of completing a marathon. I started running this April, and completed the Couch to 5k program today (more spread out to accommodate for extra weight lifting done, plus a knee injury in between keeping me out for two weeks annoyingly), where it took me 36 minutes to run a 5k.
I know my journey is nowhere near as dramatic as some other people here, but I wanted to put this somewhere as a sort of memoir so I can look back on it a few years and hopefully marvel at how far I’ve come.
Thanks to C25K for starting me on my journey!
