    Hey there!! I'm not doing a true CT5K program - but I am gearing up for my first 5 K in September. I don't know if I will do more walking then running. I joined a training program that meets every week for the next 13 weeks until my 5K and it starts this week! :) I'm going to test the waters the first couple of weeks of training to see if I think I can run/jog it. Good luck! :)

    @charmaine-I tried to start a few weeks ago but after being sedentary so long I walked about 2 miles every day for 10 days. I tried again yesterday and was able to do the entire first day. I was amazed. Keep with it!

    It's a program that trains you with intervals to run a 5K in 9 weeks. I have the iphone app.

    I'm on W1D3!! I feel great! I'm planning on repeating week 1 right off the bat because even though I am finishing it I'm feeling pretty beat by the last run option and BARELY making it.

    i did day 1 yesterday! i ran outside so my pace was probably pretty slow, i did really well until the last 2 runs, i probably only did half of each. but it was definitely exhilarating!

    I started yesterday too! I'm looking at a Freedom 5K in September as well :)

    I have a free program for the iPhone that is really good! You can listen to music and use a gps tracker and it will talk over the other programs and say "Walk" or "Run" and since it is free it is on my iPhone ;) It's called "5K Runner"

    I usually run outside because I think treadmills make the time/distance seem SO LONG but I have to say, as a big woman, that the stress on my ankles was much less on the treadmill. Of course, I don't think the 5K is on the treadmill... I'll try and do 50/50 until I get some more pounds off, I think.

    I also LOVE the iphone app!
