Hey all!
I am going to be starting the Couch to 5k program on monday, and would like to get a group together to keep everyone motivated. Just wanted to throw this out there - who is interested in starting?
For those not familiar with the program, you can find it here:
http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml
A heads up, I'm going to try PMing you all once a week if you're joining to make sure everyone is progressing (or at least I plan to). I think it helps to have someone to be accountable to, I know it helps me keep flying straight. Or you can PM me to give me a progress update... this is in addition to the thread on the forums. I want everyone to succeed and stay motivated (or depending on your perspective, mildly threatened? HA!)!
Also, for those who have MP3 players, you can find a great podcast here:
http://www.ullreys.com/robert/Podcasts/page4/page4.html
Its music to listen to while you're running with the program, and includes verbal cues to know when to walk versus run. Its a bit easier than looking down at a watch every 2 seconds.
Let me know if you're interested!

I would love to join but I won't be getting my new running shoes until my birthday next month...I'm afraid with the crappy shoes I have now I might hurt myself, lol.
Question though, I tried downloading the podcasts to my Ipod and all I got was the 9th episode. Any idea what I did wrong to not get 1-8?0 -

If you're using itunes, you can click where it says podcasts, then select the podcast, right click and choose subscribe. Then you can get all the other podcasts that way 0 -
Would love to join in. Started this about a month ago...made it a week and slacked off.:embarassed: Will be great to have someone to answer to!0

Count me in.
I've been working on it since December. Throwing in my asthma and a little slackass'edness and I can't get much past Week 5. Maybe with a group, I'll work through it. I just threw out a copy of the daily schedule last night. How ironic.
I downloaded the podcasts but never used them. Maybe this time I'll use them.0 -
I'm in!0

Can I join? I started the Couch to 5K group weeks ago but am still on week one. ): I'm lame!0

I'm in...I'll be doing Day 3 of Week 4 this weekend. Have to admit I'm kind of nervous about the next few weeks though.0

Why are you nervous?0 -

Why are you nervous?
Because that is the point at which I suddenly turn into a Polly Paranoid and think that I can't do it before I even try. I know good and damn well that I can run for 10 minutes or more straight through, but looking ahead at what I'm supposed to do spooked me. But I am going to do it anyway because it would be lame to not even try.0 -
Don't be nervous! You can do anything you put your mind to
Besides, I'm the only one allowed to be nervous, I'm farking terrified of running, lol. But thats exactly why I want to get better at it!0 -

i'm ready to kick some bootay on Week 5. May not be going super fast, but I'll be going and that's what counts.0 -
I'm going to do it down an old track I used to ride down- NEVER sawa nother person, which means I won't be seen embarrassing the hell out of myself0
-
Just got in - took my housemate goading me to actually get me to go outside since it was about 29 degrees out. Farking cold!
It's well worth it though! Hope everyone else has a nice run! STAY WARM!0 -
Yay! My week 2 is starting out well. I got a little sluggish at the end, but that is good .....I don't want it to be too easy!0

Omgosh, are we really starting this today? eek! here goes nothing!0
