    Did Day 2 of Week 1 on Thursday was a lot harder for some reason then Day 1. I think I may repeat weeks because I still am struggling.. How is everyone else doing??

    I'm starting in the morning. I have done it before, but moved and adopted a baby and lost my momentum. It is a great place to start for aspiring runners... My 12 year old son is going to do it with me, and maybe my hubby... Looking forward to starting in the morning..

    I thought I wrote in earlier, don't know what happened! Anyway, I'd love to join this.

    Completed Week 2, day 1 tonight - felt awesome!!! The first jog seems like there is no way I can do it, and then after that, honestly, I amaze myself that it is fun and enjoyable - who would have thought?!

    I am planning to run my first ever 5k in either September or October.

    I'm starting week 2 today-a little nervous but realized when I finished week 1 that I didn't feel like I had to stop at the end of the jog interval. Amazing! Good job everyone!

    Has anyone gotten "injured" during C25K? If so, how did you handle it? My left calf lately has tightened up so bad I can barely run, and I've been trying to stretch it every day and I'm just hoping it clears up soon. I want to stay on track!

    I think rest, ice and anti-inflammatories are your best bet.

    I'm in too! Doing W1D3 tomorrow at the gym. The treadmill seems to be a little less hostile than the road, for now =)

    Hi! I'm actually just finishing week9 of c25k this week but the 5k I am shooting for is on September 25th. I still have only run on the treadmill so I need to transfer my runs outside plus am going to be on vacation for 3 weeks this summer. I figured those things (combined with the kids going back to school late August) made September the smartest time to try my first 5k. Can I still join in? I can help answer questions about future weeks (don't worry about wk5...it's not as scary as it looks! :happy: ). And if I can do it (I'm sooo not a runner!), you all can definitely do it! Good luck!

    I finshed week 2 this morning, onto week 3 on Saturday! The part I'm finding hardest is the breathing, my legs are ok and I can keep going but if I take my focus off of my music and actually think about breathing it gets so much harder. its all mental, I just can't seem to convince myself that I'm going to be ok.
