    Yep! Believe me, you're going to love it :) I'm usually super sluggish in the mornings and have no energy and I feel like I'm on fire right now in a good way... Kinda my inspiration for the name :)

    @angiemcgovern--Awesome!! I'll update the list tonight after more people have had a chance to join in. ETA: Same to everyone who just joined :) I think we're approaching 50 members now!! :bigsmile:

    week 1 day 1 done - phew hot sweaty sore and feeling really good last run bit was the toughest - felt like everyone was watching me the first run but by the 3rd did not give a hoot. All i could think was that in the next week or so I will break the 100kg barrier
    whistles and banners!

    come on all we can do this way to go

    Welcome Breezymom81! I think this is definitely a good way to get yourself into running, because it's not ALL running; there's 14 minutes of walking total and only 6 minutes of running during each day of week 1. Not easy, but not impossible :)

    Here's my workout update from the other thread--

    "I just completed my first workout and I gotta tell ya, this is not for weaklings, lol XD But it feels GREAT afterwards :) I have a little headache because of the sun (and that's how my body responds to hard workouts) but otherwise I feel really energized!"

    I walked/ran around my neighborhood in sort of a random pattern and magically ended up right in front of my house at the end XD It was perfect, lol. A couple times I really wanted to stop, but I didn't and I'm soooo glad I didn't. It was so worth getting up early in the morning because it just rained last night, and everything was SO fresh and beautiful! I can definitely see myself doing this every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning :)

    So excited to do this with you guys this summer! You're the best!!

    Good morning. I have been seeing this C25K on here and had no idea what it was. I just looked it up and am intrigued. I just downloaded the app for my iPhone and I am going to start day one this afternoon. Please add me to your list. Thank you.

    Add me add me!! I've already done my jogging today, but I will try to get in day 1 tonight if I have the energy. Otherwise i'll start a day late, but I still want to do this! I was thinking that I needed to WHILE on my jog this morning and then saw this, and now i'm so bumped to dig in and run!!

    I'd like to join your group. I run long distance now but need some inspiration and may have some stuff to contribute as well. Is there a specific race you're training for?

    Welcome! I don't think we're training for any one race; our goal is to be able to complete a 5K (just jogging, no walking). But you're definitely welcome to come on board for an extra boost! :smile:

    Love the group name :happy: I'll be getting my run on later today and I can hardly wait! Did anyone purchase the GSP for .99 with the App? Just wondering how accurate it is.

    I also wanted to let all the treadmill users know that when you're running on your treadmill set your incline to .5 or 1% to mimic outdoors. :) Helpful tip!

    So I bought the GPS add on with the iPhone app, and as far as I can tell it's very accurate, so I definetly think its worth the buck so u know how fast and how far you go, there is also a map that shows I where u went and a 1 mile marker stating how long it took to get there, so that's kinda a mini challenge in it self to beat. ... Have fun running¡!

    I'm going to go a bit further into TMI land and say I'm doubling up today. It's been 10 months since I've run because I was on bed rest for the first few weeks of my pregnancy, and I don't remember *totally* what happens when I jog...:blushing:
