Hi! I was wondering if there was anyone else out there that wanted to do the couch to 5K program but felt like you needed to do it with someone else, to help you stay motivated. I started the C25K program last year and got to week 5 before the buddy I had that was doing it with me backed out and then I quit too :( It is just so hard for me to stay motivated doing it by myself, and I really want to do it! Let me know if any of you all are interested and then maybe we can get to know each other a little and become closer friends, like send emails or text messages and encourage each other every day or so. :-) So who thinks this is a good idea?

    I'm doing a variation on Couch25K that works better for me, so I wouldn't be doing the exact same thing each week, but would love to chat with other beginning runners/joggers ;)

    I started back again today. I started on w4d1 again since I had quit on week 5 a few months ago. My body was telling me HEY YOU HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN A WHILE! Haha but It was fun anyways. I might have to repeat this week until I get it down :) thank you all for accepting to do it with me :). I really feel like I can do it now :) I'm not sure what days I will do it on because my schedule at work is not the same every day
