    C25k is a GREAT program, and they have an amazing iPhone app (free) that will tell you when you start running/walking and you can play your music from the app. Highly recommended.

    I'm using RunKeeper (iPhone app & on-line) ... it logs running and walking via GPS but you can also manually enter the route online as well as swimminf, skiing, hiking and a host of other activities ... you can make "friends" there too for encouragement and competition ...

    You can do it! I just started running in January of this year and LOVE it. I didn't use it, but a lot of people swear by the C25K app. I love races. I'm too slow to place (although I'm getting faster), but the causes are great and it's worth doing for that reason alone.

    Feel free to add me for more support and encouragement!
