    d1w1- my goal was 8 sets of alternating jogging 60 seconds followed by walking 90 seconds. i made it through 5 sets of jogging/ walking and then had to walk the rest of the time. i have a sinus infection right now too so hopefully by wed i will be able to do all 8 sets. none the less- i broke my lazy streak (about 3 months now!!!) and did some reasonable cardio :)
    hope the rest of you made it!

    I'm in! I just discovered this thread after doing the first workout 2 hours ago :-) I did it on the treadmill at a slow pace (6 km/h), I hope that counts.

    I am starting on Week 3 Day 1 today. I am waiting until 7pm...too hot here in Louisiana!

    My sister is running her first marathon in San Fransisco October 17th. She has been training for over a year. It's for the Leukemia and Lymphoma benefit.

    Here is her link if anyone would like more information or would care to support the foundation.

    http://pages.teamintraining.org/la/nikesf10/sarceneaux

    I also opened a link as well for C25K under Fitness. Is there anyway to link these two?

    I'm excited to have more go getters! Woohoo!

    Here is a free website to download the Podcasts. The music he uses is from local bands I think. But the training is the same.

    Hi Guys well I did mine and the majority of it - I walked. I might have to repeat week 1 I think, just to build up my confidence a bit. :) Very proud of everyone else who got out there and did it. Well done! we can all do it we just need to be properly motivated!!

    Hi guys!
    I've been doing c25k for a few weeks now and I will begin Week 5, Day 1 tomorrow. Slightly dreading it but I hope I can through it!
    I just have to remember to pace myself. It's a great app though!

    Good luck everyone! :flowerforyou:

    So I started C25K today.. I couldn'd yesterday because of a nasty sinuc infection but I have meds now so I am good!!
    Well I am training in my five fingers for the first time and after 5 of the ninie runs I could barely walk.. So I walked until I felt my legs again and was able to run the last 2!! It is going to be a long road.

    I have been doing 5Ks for almost a year sporadically but never been able to run the whole thing! I love my five fingers so I thought it would be a good time to try them out!! I am going to hurt tomorrow!!

    Can't wait to see how everyone did!

    Ok...didn't get to do my Week 3 Day 1 yesterday. I hate when you are in traffic for an hour...then grocery store...then family wanting to chat...by the time I had time to myself...it was 8pm. So today is a 'ME' day. I'm tired today but I think it's because I am use to doing something every day or at least every other day.

    Tired but looking forward to sweating! :-)

    W1D2 is complete!! Today was a bit easier good thing. Mon I had a water bottle with me and today I didnt which I think made it easier. Also I learned a tip on here when running to chew gum. I tried it today and I liked it!! Try it.

    This morning I officially signed up for the Run for the Cure breast cancer 5k Oct 3. Hope Im ready by then!

    Have a great walk/run!

    Finished Week 3 Day 1....go me! My calves were a little stiff at first. I need to stretch before and after a run. Next one is on Friday..then Sunday. I didn't exercise for two days and felt horrible.

    Good luck everyone!
