For most of the C25K runs I felt like I was going to die, then somewhere near the end things started to change. Some of the runs got a bit easier. I'm going to say they were all good runs, or that they started getting easier every day (I've known people like that it does happen, just not to me). There was still a lot of making myself go do it, and a lot of slow sloggy runs, but somehow the difference was enough to keep me moving.
I also realized that the C25k program wouldn't actually teach me to cover 3 miles (it's based on time, not mileage). That was a problem. I had a 5k planned, & I mentally needed to know I could cover the distance. So instead of giving up (my old MO), I started the bridge to 10K. The thought was that I could continue with the program that had gotten me so far while teaching myself to run longer. It worked pretty well for a month or so. Then came my first 5k.
