    I have to say that when I was reading these posts and everyone was saying "I love it", I was laughing and shaking my head. All that I could think of was what was running through my head tonight when I was starting my Week 1 Day 3 work out. I just kept hearing my inner voice say, "I really don't want to do this, I REALLY don't want to do this. I hate running, I HATE running! Is this ever going to be over?!"

    I did my first day on Monday and my legs hurt until Thursday (yesterday). I did day 2 yesterday and my legs were a little sore this morning but almost back to normal after work. So, I decided to do day 3 tonight. Saying that I enjoy it, or look forward to it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I really don't do either of those things, but here is what I do enjoy and look forward to.

    I enjoy going to the track with my entire family and getting my exercise in with them instead of alone. I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old and they enjoy playing on the football field while my husband and I "run/walk". I love the fact that my husband is so supportive that he allowed me to drag him along on this journey of mine. He is retired Navy, so although normal workouts are nothing new to him, they aren't anything that he really looked forward to doing after he retired. He pushes me and keeps me going when I don't think that I can. I love that I have a sense of accomplishment when I am done. I look forward to a healthier, happier, thinner life that I will achieve because of my hard work. But I must repeat, I do NOT love this doing this program!

    I have my week 9, day 3 run scheduled for Sunday and then i'll be a c25k graduate! Yay!

    I signed up for a 5k on Memorial Day (May 28th) to benefit the Red Cross. I'm so excited to run my first 5k! I seriously can't say enough good stuff about the c25k program. I've said it before, but i'll say it again: I have asthma and a heart problem and c25k was gentle enough to get me running 30 minutes straight in a little over 2 months. It is SOOOOO worth it! Good luck to everyone who is doing it! You're gonna kick some butt!

    Same here :)
    Finished week 6 yesterday and am actually looking forward to starting week 7 tomorrow. Never would have expected it to be so much fun to be honest.
