Couch-to-5k; brief thoughts on running and life

This morning I completed the Couch-to-5k running plan. In a perfect world, this would have taken nine weeks, but I stretched it out over ten and a half weeks, due to repeating some days, and losing some time to the flu. Considering that I hadn't run or even owned a pair of trainers since high school, this is a major achievement. I didn't reach 5k on my last run, only 4.9k including warmup and cooldown walks, so my next goal is to actually run 5k.
