    I am on week 5 of C25K. I go to a park near my house to run and I love it. I am certainly not the fittest or thinnest person there, but I am doing it and I love getting an encouraging nod or hello from all the other joggers there with me. Everyone has to start somewhere. Just think, for all you know that skinny speed demon that lapped you twice could have weighed 300lbs a year ago. Lace up and hit the pavement, don't worry about what anyone else thinks, and just do it! Good luck!

    A great thing to do is to use run/walk to actually go places you'd be going anyhow so you don't get that "Why am I here?" panic. I'll jog to the bank or to the supermarket and walk back with groceries.

    That's exactly it! That feeling of panic. I have decided on jogging to the gym for now - at least I will have an excuse to be wearing a tracksuit outside!
