    Okay so I've given it some thought and I guess we can all post here once a week. I'm going to follow this format:

    Week #
    Day 1: (distance/time)
    Day 2: (distance/time)
    Day 3: (distance/time)

    Total for week:
    Total overall:

    I'll also be posting on my own page after each run.

    Count me in! I need to get back to running, so this will be good motivation for me.

    Steebsthegreat I'm ready! This is just what I needed to snap me back after injury and winter hibernation! Went to the Foot RX store and got an analysis yesterday where I bought my first pair of real running shoes to fit my gait. Tried them this morning and it's amazing what s difference it made for me! Looking forward!! What day shall we post, Monday?

    I downloaded the app but it is so cold outside that the idea of going outside to run is....unlikely

    I know what you mean Alciamode. I invested in a treadmill (must to my dismay) because it's so stinking cold here in East Tn. Investment that was easy to purchase since I know I'll be here forever and it's always gonna be cold. Perhaps workout vids for you? Best of luck Dear.

    Well I have workouts I do at home but I doubt they will get me into shape for the 5k that I signed up for in April

    I'll join in tonight. Day 1 of c25k here I come! I did it once but I got to week 3? I tend to repeat weeks if I feel I'm not ready for the next phase.

    @AlciaMode‌ you still have lots of time to train for your 5k :)

    I have to delay starting too, still fighting my cold and today it seems to be getting a bit better so I don't want to stress my body and make it worse. Plus it's super cold here, we actually broke a record for the coldest day in recorded history (feels like -33*C)

    I'll join. I started a C25K last year but never finished...... I did run my first 5K though last year and it was an awesome accomplishment!

    I'm uploading the app now. I last ran/walked a 5K about 2 years ago. I was loosing the weight with running, but then started with PF and that completely brought me to a halt. I've gained the weight I lost and then some and I've realized I'm now even binge eating. Specially in the evenings. :( I need the motivation so bad. I love running and hope my PF doesn't act up and me getting over a cold doesn't put me behind either.

    I have to complain about the Zombies, Run! app. I just bought it and it cannot play ANY of my music. This is the iPhone version - it seems that the android version is more functional.

    I've done C25K before and loved it. Here's the link to the MFP C25K group, which should be able to answer a lot of basic questions, provide tips, etc. Happy running! :)

    Week 1: 1 mile run/9.5 minutes.... 1 mile sprint/7minutes 27 seconds/ 1 mile walk/run (about 12 minutes)/ 4 mile walk/60 minutes.

    These were done at different times throughout the day. It was my first time running and I was very surprised by my performance. I hate running. I was also VERY nauseous afterwards.

    Stars I was very impressed to see your numbers in my newsfeed! Certainly didn't realize it was your first time! Great job! I think Bc I had the GPS turned on with the treadmill it didn't give me proper numbers. THAT made me naseaus

    I started c25K to get to my first 5K in May. So far so good. On week 6. Getting more challenging but I know the end product will be rewarding. Just need warmer weather so I can go run outside.
