Good morning, Woggers!
It's sunny and COLD (12 degrees) here in the Ocean State (Rhode Island). For those of you who roll out of bed and go to the gym in the morning, or workout outside -- GOD BLESS YOU. You are all NUTS, but God bless you. I have a hard time rolling out of bed for food -- nevermind exercise!
Today's workout is the same as Day 1.
W1, D2
5-minute warm-up walk/stretch (IMPORTANT! ALWAYS WARM UP AND COOL DOWN)
For anyone who is new to Couch to 10K or Couch to 5k, this is an article you need to read. It's great. It's written by my MFP pal, Desweds. He went from unfit to fabulous! Check it out: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10272913/bite-me-c25k-what-i-wish-someone-had-told-me-when-i-started
Enjoy YOUR day!

Been sitting on my hands (bouncing up and down) trying NOT to start this thread. Being one day ahead Sucks! LOL
W1D2 is toast. Finished it yesterday on my new (used) treadmill.
Some things I noted:
1) Safety key is real touchy. Had it shut down while still in warm up, I'm guessing just from the cord swinging. Restarted and finished workout without safety key attached. Have since worked on key and think its ready to try again (attached) tomorrow for W1D3.
2) 2 mph walk is too slow. Changing warm up and cool down to 2.5 min each 2.5 mph and 3 mph ascending and descending respectively.
3) Workout walk a 3 mph may be too slow. Thinking of bumping it up to 3.5 or maybe even 4. Have to find my logs from last time and see where I was. (Old memory ain't like it was. Heck, for that matter, never was good.)
4) Probably should increase workout jog up to 5.5 mph... but that kinda scares me.
Currently 30 degrees F here in the mid-west US of A (feels like 22). Mostly cloudy. Wind is SE at 8 mph. (And another two hour delay at work. [sigh])0 -
I did minds this morning but I also realize that I am doing the c25k. I can't download the c10k. My phone has to be updated. So I will be back at it Friday morning peeps.0

Forgot to mention, all my treadmill workouts are at 1% incline as a default.
Found my old notes and I was right, I use to start my warm ups at 2.5 mph and the walking portions of my workouts were at 4 mph.
Also forgot to mention:
ankle and calves OK after W1D2 but quads were quivering as I dismounted the treadmill and by evening (yesterday) my legs were limp noodles.
Gotta love it as that means PROGRESS!0 -
Finished W1 D2 This morning. I'm enjoying it so far. Also did my first PiYo exercise today. Think I'm going to enjoy that too.0

"W1D2 is toast." LOVE IT!
Sit back a day and get in sync with the rest of us. Then you will not have to sit on your hands! 0 -

Just finished W1D3, so I'll think about sitting back an extra day. I've just always done Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday... but, I CAN change. (Breathe. Oooooohhhhhmmmm. )
FYI, mods on my treadmill worked great. Safety key stayed in, belted tracked perfect, phone stayed on shelf.

Me too. Had to put it in the basement/three car garage/workshop/do-jo (a space of many tasks). As long as I don't fall off the treadmill and go careening into a car fender or a tablesaw, it works OK. A bit chilly in winter.
