    Sorry i hadn't checked back into this thread since I posted. I can't wait to start!! I vote a new thread each week, just because I don't like looking thru tons of pages trying to find the last post I read. I'm super excited about this!
    I'm excited too! I not much of a runner/jogger, but I'll give it a try.

    Awesome! I have a feeling you'll do better with this one since there's more people doing this and it's less weeks. I know I will lol.

    So, some of you are starting this week, so I thought I'd go ahead and post some more things.

    - So far the votes are mainly for keeping this thread. I'll end the count on the 5th and see what we end up with.
    - How about every time we do a new workout, we put what workout we're on and talk about how you think you did?
    - Starting next week, I'll post a new topic each week that we can talk about. Like tips, music, food, etc.

    Have a great day!

    I'm in! I've been doing intervals loosely based on c25k already, but I want to go back to the beginning and focus on really pushing myself to go faster and harder. Let's all do this together!

    I wish I had a phone that did cool stuff like everyone else! *sniff*

    No apps for me. :ohwell:

    But I do have an interval timer and I live a 5 minute walk from the local high school's track.

    Now, what I REALLY wish I had was an mp3 player... music would be GREAT while I'm running. They aren't too expensive, I know, but I had to delete all the music from my computer a while ago (to make space for a game :blushing: ), so a player wouldn't do me much good right about now.

    I guess I would say that my first official day was uneventful....I didn't download an app; so, I mainly just watched the time on the watch :yawn: ...I would have much more preferred to listen to music as my cue than constantly watching time...I do have to say the 20 minutes goes quickly

    I walked about 1 mile to get to the 3 mile path where I planned to start the program...I would say I finished 2/3rds of the 3 miles when the 20 minutes was over, it was challenging as there were hills vs a treadmill with a flat surfac...then, I walked the rest of the way home...my total length is 4.75 miles total

    I do have to say that it kept my HR up much higher and longer than just straight walking and I BURNED WAY MORE CALORIES:bigsmile:

    So, I am wondering if I should do a shorter length...but, I like to get an hour a day because I like to eat food:love: ...tomorrow will be a rest day from the C25K and I am planning to do Birkam yoga (it's yoga done in a 105 degree room) to really stretch out my muscles.

    I think I'm just going to write down the treadmill workout and do it that way. You should totally consider getting an mp3 player. I'm sure some of your friends would let you copy some music to it. Music is so worth it while working out. It makes the time fly by for me.

    This will work great for me, started doing it a couple of weeks ago and kinda died - have spent the past 2 weeks working my way up with walk/speed walk stints, so by June 6 should be ready to begin the running again (I hope) - so I'm in :flowerforyou:
