I am in..I started this program a while back and ended up completing my first 5k before I finished it. Now I am doing another one 10/16 and still can't run the whole way!! I have a friend who wants to do one in November so maybe this will help me better prepared for that one! LOL!
I am not a good poster so you might not see me on much, but I promise I am here!!0 -
I want to join! But, I started today.. hope thats ok!
Sure! How'd your first day go?
My first day was great! And the weather has been soo nice!! I am just not really following the program =/ I think i have skipped ahead a bit! I try to jog a 1/4 mile and then I walk 1/4 mile the jog then walk.. today i actually jogged a total of a mile =] which to me was a great accomplishment!! My new goal is to do that but with more ease! Once i master that I will try to jog for more than just a 1/4 mile (and a 1/4 mile is tough!!!)0 -
Android users.....I found a free app by Guy Hoffman that allows you to play your own music and they will beep to signal changes.0

I am in! I completed a major goal of mine -- walk a half-marathon -- 2 weeks ago and have been struggling with motivation lately, now that my "BIG UNMOVABLE GOAL" has passed. So yes, moving on to become a runner will be nice
I am already signed up to do a 5k on October 30th and plan to walk/run it and hope to do it in less than 40 minutes (we shall see!)... I have a 5k on 1/1/11 as well which i hope to RUN THE ENTIRE THING (not caring about time!). I turn 40 shortly after New Years so getting this under my belt before then sure sounds good. So yeah, i need a new motivation, so count me in and feel free to crack the whip on me if i show signs of slacking off
Oh, i downloaded a C25K podcast a while back (one for each week)... i will try to locate the link

I am interested in doing this. I started once before in January 2009 and found out I was pregnant and was afraid to run in the icy weather. Now I am trying to lose the baby weight. Count me in.0

i'm in! also for those that have issues with timing yourself there is a GREAT PODCAST FOR FREE ON ITUNES. it's called NHS couch to 5k and it is a coach for your running and walking periods along with music. it breaks it down by weeks and runs so you'll always have it for where you are in the program. super awesome0

oh and they also have a bridge to a 10 k after that0

Im in! I just got the info off of cooolrunnings website! I've always dreamed of being a runner. I used to do track and field when I was in elementary and middle school ( a long time ago..) I came across this once before ( C25K) but was unsure if I could do it. But I love challenges. So here goes...0

Count me in! I certainly need some motivation (and support) from the group! It's now or never!0
