I started running in March and fell in love with it. I used C25k and a group here to get started. I did 5k and 6k races in summer. Im in med school so I cant run as long/much as I like but I still run 5km once or twice a week. It definitely helps to have a group of people with whom to share runs.

So my annoying problem right now is the weather!!! I am sure I am not alone on this...Went to the treadmill in the clubhouse in my neighborhood Wednesday but wish I could get outside!! Today it has poured all day long!!!
i am going to go find some work out dvd to do...but would mch rather be running!

I think you need to ignore the weather and just get on with it. There's that saying that there's no such thing as bad weather- it's just bad clothing. I won't run if its icy but if not I just ignore the rain, dress up and get on with it. It's then even more satisfying when you get home.

I recently just started running again too. I am only going about 2 miles and I am slow (12 min mile average). One day I hope to get back to a under 10 min mile like I was before IT band issues and pregnancy! Friend me if you want!

Working on running again as of january 3rd of this year. Spent the last year doing crossfit and it has definitely made my running better. Was able to do a 5k distance in 30:45 and 10k distance in 69mins.... But that has been the best so far. And most days I run slower.

PLanning a 5k race march 29 and a 10k race April 19. Hoping for a sub 30 in the 5k race.. and a sub 65 in the 10k.

Need the running plus the crossfit and MUCH BETTER eating to get off the last 13 lbs I want to lose.

I run too! I'm reluctant to say I'm a runner because I usually do run/walk intervals. I did a half marathon in November using that technique. I can run continuously but I am not much faster and I am able to go longer distances with intervals. It's also a great way to start (or start again).

I used to hate running. And honestly still I don't like it too much but it's a goal and it keeps me going. I'm trying to get faster. Anyone feel free to add me.

Hey ladies! I have been running for a couple of years now but due to a hip injury last winter it has gone back to a lot of intervals. I am hoping to do a couple of 5ks and possibly a 10k this summer.

The sidewalks here are covered in ice and most of our winter has been below 0. I dread the treadmill but managed to do a few miles a week on it and then add in some biking and Zumba classes along with weight training. We are supposed to be above freezing this weekend so I think I will make it outside for a run!

Boredom is more of an issue with me if I am on the treadmill than if I am outside. I try to keep fun music playing and allow myself to get lost in thought. But for safety, I try not to zone out too much!

I am 52 years old and have never been a runner or jogger. I want to increase my cardio endurance for hill hiking and thought that adding jogging to my exercise plan might help. Last July I started using an app called Get Running. As long as ice and high heat/humidity are absent, I keep up with it. I really struggle with gym workouts, however. I feel like a hamster when I am on a threadmill!

I've done two days of C25K, so I'm still really new to it! I also downloaded Map My Run and some fun music to listen to while running. I always hated it in school, but now I'm finding I love to be out running. If you told me at 17 that I'd have my eye on running a 5K this summer, I would never have believed you! I'd love to get more miles & races under my belt eventually and see how far I can go.

C25K seems like a good way to start because you start out really small and slow & work your way up.
