I'm a newbie to this forum, but I've been doing the C25K going on 7 weeks. So far I've been able to do every run, but I'm always amazed when I complete each day! I never thought I'd be running 25 minutes without stopping....ever! I just did my second 25 minute run this morning.<br /><br />I started running to help me lose weight. I've been doing Weight Watchers since July 2007 and I've lost 58 pounds so far. I have about 25 more pounds to go to get to my goal. <br /><br />I have a few questions for some of you who have been doing this a while.....<br /><br />Every day that I have to run, I have to really talk myself into going. Does it ever get to the point where you really WANT to do it?<br /><br />Any pointers on how to improve my pace? Right now I think I'm doing about a 12 minute mile. I can't seem to get any faster than that, and I know there is no way I could make it through the 25 minutes if I tried to go any faster. When should I start trying to increase my pace?<br /><br />I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and sharing ideas and accomplishments!</p>
