Brian decided to run a 5k back in June. It was to support the Wounded Warrior Project. A good cause and one close to home for him. He then decided he should get better running shape and I was CRAZY and decided to support him as he did the Couch to 5k program. Here is where I mention I don’t run … well I didn’t. It only took me 3.5 months and a lot of repeated weeks but I finished that program. Brian decided that wasn’t enough of a challenge and decided to train for a half marathon (I am supportive but not running with him … my skills are not near that good!) So …
Here is me after finishing my last run in the Couch to 5k program … (look I wasn’t even dead!) Now I need to work on my distance being a 5k … I am at about 2.6 miles …
Here is Brian after finishing his 10k run last Saturday. I forgot to take a picture before he changed clothes but he ran about an 11 minute mile that race. Not bad for a 30-something beat up Army guy trying to get back into running! 🙂
Let me know where your Wordless Wednesday post is …
That is awesome for both of you! I tried to Couch to 5K program and failed miserably – shin splints, twisted knee, etc. I’m just a walking hazard LOL
So glad you weren’t even dead! Heck… I’m just trying to get into a walking program and that’s hard enough. Good job!
Happy WW!
great post for wordless… Have a great day ahead!!! Hoping you can visit @ my little corner.
Congrats on completing the run! makes you feel great, right?
Happy Wordless Wednesday
Woo hoo, good for you! I love to run when I can find the time. Go figure I just fractured a toe and am stuck biking 🙂
That is awesome! Congrats to you both.
Way to go! That is fantastic!
Good for the both of you! You look pretty happy considering you just ran your heart out…LOL!
Thanks for coming by and linking up!
I’ve had a few friends do this recently and I’m always impressed since I am not a runner. I’ll stick with zumba! 😉
How cool. Great job!
Not only were you not dead, but you were smiling!
That’s amazing.. both of you!! I’ve never heard of the Couch to 5k program, will have to look it up!
Good for you and good for him! That is such a huge accomplishment. I also think it’s awesome that you are up to 2.6 miles, that’s something to be proud of!
Way to go! My sister is a runner and I’ve thought about trying a 5K with her….thought.
11 minutes, not bad at all! I am eating better these days and hopefully the Yoga with that will get me intoa better place too 🙂
Very awesome! I have always wanted to run in one of those, but seriously I need to get in shape first, lol.
Great job! How hard was it to get started on the Couch to 5K?
That is wonderful that you did the couch-to-5k program! I bet you feel really proud of yourself, I know that I would if I were able to do it!
Good for you! Congrats!
You look WAY too happy to have just finished a run! If it was me I’d look half dead and miserable…but I’m lazy and do NOT run unless a large animal is chasing me LOL 😛
that is fantastic, and 2.6 miles is great, you will be at 5k in no time
That is awesome! I want to do oe eventually, but am nowhere near that yet.

I am hoping to accomplish something like that next year. How proud you must be! Very awesome!
Very cool! I really think that takes a huge amount of will power. Way to go! Thanks for linking up at Why We Love Green!
