    I'm in!! Only saw this post today; I'm in Singapore and it's already June 6th here. Saw the website and I love it!! Been running about 3K and felt like dying at the end of it; used to wonder how the heck I'd get anywhere near 5K, but the programme looks great!

    Will start Day 1 today :) Would be great if there were a Facebook group we could post our successes and encouragement in though..any thought on starting one?
    Great! I'll add you to the list too. This will be a great program for you, then. As for the Facebook group, I'd prefer to just keep it on MFP.

    OOh I'm first - possible because I'm in Australia and it is already Jun 6 here :wink:

    Completed W1D1 - again :laugh: - 1.7mi in 31 minutes - didn't feel too bad, but then I actually power walked 3 of the run stints - which is probably as fast I can run anyway :cry: - mind you I only did it on the hilly bits - shins felt good, knees were a little iffy though :embarassed:

    Things can only get better from here :drinker:
    Thats awesome! Good job! :happy: Glad I'm not the only C25k repeater in the bunch, hopefully I'll get further than week two this time :laugh:
    I know you'll get farther than week two this time!

    So, I did Week 1 Day 1 today. I may have actually been jogging slower than I walk...but I was sent the gift of a fog so that no one could see me.

    I feel equal parts embarassed and proud.

    I'll tell you what...those extra 30seconds of walking time feel really luxurious towards the end! :)
    Glad you got the first one finished. I also think I can walk faster than my jogging lol. The end is always the best, because then you're glad that you finished it. Sometimes at first I'm dreading a treadmill workout but once I get going, it gets better.

    Hi! just started today. :) Count me in. I'm doing the treamill program and hopefully can transition to outside. :)
    I'm doing the treadmill one too. I don't trust myself to do it outside because I know I'll slack off. The treadmill will push me.

    Hey, lovelys! Looks like today's our official start day. This week, (June 6 - June 12) why don't we talk about music? You can suggest songs, artists, etc. What music pushes you through a hard workout, what music relaxes you. Have fun this week everyone!

    Just did W1D1 and I was dying. OMG, worse feeling ever. But now that I'm done and at home resting I feel so much better.
    Music wise, I'm very interested to know what you guys are listening too. I was jamming to Jennifer Lopez's new song.

    Just did W1D1 on the treadmill. It was a total of 1.81 miles for me, with a 1% incline, running at 5mph, and walking at 3mph. It was a little too easy so im going to bump up the speed for day 2. Goodluck to the rest of you ! :flowerforyou:

    Can I come too? I got up to 25 minutes over a year ago and then stuff happened and I stopped. I'd like to start again and am so glad to find a support group in mfp!
