Looking for new runners (C25k) to follow!

I'm very new to running; in the spring I did the Couch-to-5k program and I ran my first 5k in July.
I'm looking to do C25k again (I stopped running after my first 5k and want to start again) and I'm looking for other people just starting out.
I plan to do each week twice to give myself time to work on speed.

Anyone else starting or re-starting C25k?

    I'm planning to start over the weekend if life allows. If not I'll be starting on Monday. :)

    I started a few weeks ago, like you I do each week twice so am at the end of wk 3 (first time). It's coming along nicely but can never see myself actually being able to run 5k. Just taking each week as it comes for now.

    I never thought I'd be able to do it, especially after the first few weeks, but around week 7 I realized it was possible. My first goal was just to finish it under 40 minutes and I did (39:26). Many people did much, much better than I did but I wasn't last! I sort of went into it not expecting to be a really great runner so I wasn't disappointed. But now I love running!

    I'll start week 3 tomorrow, but I'm only doing each week once. I plan on running my first 5k November 1st and set how that goes then after that, I want to start over and work on my time.
