Good lad, finishing the couch to 5k was one of the best things I ever did.
A solid 5k under your belt and you're pretty much good to go to train for any longer distance you want, the aches and pains never fully go away but you will get faster and/or be able to go further.
I'd be down for a forum parkrun with the other runengers when you graduate the c25k

I'm currently doing the 8wk couch to 5k, and am crippling myself every other day with aching calves and achilles. I'm not even running that fast.
Hoping my lower legs get used to it and I'm able to run ache free. Then will augment the commute with the running twice a week or so, and swimming once a week. I'll pretty much be a triathlete, but with sleeves..
