I am starting Ct5k today. I am a little nervous, since I haven't run since high school. I can do a brisk walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes, though. I am doing a 5K with my son in April, so shooting for that goal. It seems if I have something to work for and look forward to, it makes it a little easier to stay on track.
Wish me luck!! And, thank you for all the tips and tricks posted! I actually wrote some down so I wouldn't burn myself out or injure anything.

Good luck!! Just take it easy and don't do too much too quick.. You don't want to be sitting around with an icepack on your leg like I am right now. Having that race coming up in April will definitely keep you motivated. You can do it!0

Started yesterday! Good luck! I am quite out of shape but Day 1 wasn't too bad. Not even sore today...I am sure that will change soon. I am also aiming for a 5k in April. I walked it last year. Hope to run it this year. All the best!0

I started today too. I have been a mediocre runner in the past but haven't done it in months. I want to start out slow this time and do it right. Good luck 0

Good luck to you! I start tomorrow. I'd say I am in about the same state of preparedness as you are with the walking, so let me know how it goes.0

Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! I was imagining panting, heavy sweating, and wanting to quit halfway through. I got through the whole thing and even got on the bike afterwards for 10 more minutes.
I am probably jinxing myself saying it wasn't that bad..lol I have looked at week 3!! 0 -
Im starting tonight! Did a little practice shuffle while I was walking the dog this morning and im astounded I can actually jog, so hoping day 1 wont be too bad....0
