Thanks for the encouragement @Discombobulated. Hopefully I can keep it up. Not long until I get to a long 10 min. run now. Today, though I only power walked; I hope to do the next day of 10K runner tomorrow.

I can't imagine myself running 25 min. straight! Don't worry about dropping some runs; sometimes life happens & you get to busy or your body just needs a break. I plan to go as far in the program as I can, but I don't think I will ever make it to 10K. If I make it to 5K, that might be my stopping point. We'll see. I feel the program already gives you a good workout at the point I'm currently at.
