Hello Everyone,

I'm starting the C25K plan on Monday (May 2) and wanted to know if anyone was interested in joining me. I plan to do it Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and then follow my normal workouts on the off days. If anyone is interested please feel free to add me or inbox me. The plan I'm using is from this website: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml. I'm also getting additional reading material from http://c25k.com/ and I've downloaded the C25K Lite on my Andriod phone to utilize.

    I just tried the first workout yesterday, and could really feel the burn in my legs, so I'm all set to start it in earnest next week!

    I'm currently on week 6 and I can tell you it's worth it. I would love offer my encouragement. Don't worry if there are weeks that you don't feel ready to progress on to the next week, just repeat a week if you feel the need with no apologies. There will be other weeks when you feel strong and looking forward to the next week. Overall, no matter how fast you go through the program, you'll look back on your progress with pride and enjoy the journey.

    If you have an I-phone I recommend the C25K app from Bluefin Software. It's worth the $2.99.

    Honestly, I'm a total novice and have never run either. For me personally, even though I want to lose weight sometimes I either get bored or disappointed that my weight loss isn't more as fast as I want it to so I wind up quitting. My desire to run and enter a 5K is more of a preemptive strike towards a possible failure on my part. I'm taking Einstein's Theory of Insanity in account: "Doing the same thing over and over again and excepting a different result."

    Since the C25K only requires 20 minutes total initially I plan to supplement with either more cardio like additionally walking or Zumba or strength training.
