    I'm getting ready to start week 3! I had to take a week off because of knee problems (I think I had "Runner's Knee"), but I can't wait to start back up again! The first day was very difficult for me because the last time I had exercised was high school gym class, so I was extremely out of breath. My breathing has improved A LOT and I feel like I can definitely do this! My goal is to run a 5k this fall!

    I have week 1, day 2 to do today. Never been a runner; though I did play soccer for 8 years when I was younger. My goals by completing C25K: end of this year - run a 5k and end of January next year, run a 1/2 marathon! Nothing like reaching for the stars, right?

    Anyone can feel free to add me for support, encouragement and progress reports(reporting).

    Good luck to everyone!

    I'm on week 4 and can't seem to get past it. Eventually I will. It's so damn hard. But I love running now. :) You'll love it.

    All you newbies....I did W1D1 on Aug 2 and got through all of it, last two runs were a few seconds shorter but made it for the whole 1/2 hour. My question is that today (2 days later) after my rest day yesterday I can barely walk because my thigh muscles are so sore, and also my ankles at the front (like tendon area?)....should I push through and do W1D2 tonight or should I stop the program and then try again in a week or so by doing only 1/2 the first day and work myself up?
