    totally.. I dreaded it. I actually lost sleep that week worrying about it. :) Again, a huge mental hill on that one.

    Would anyone want to have a group to do check ins? I know mine is 3 days a week but it might be a fun place to check back and post progress? Everyone feel free to add me too!

    There's a group for C25k:

    I just started today! Week 1 Day 1 felt good. I was a bit surprised. I'm a big walker, but had quit running due to various pains (knee, foot).

    I did the whole C25K a few years back and was very happy with it. Excited to be starting again!

    I went through couch to 5K and really found D it helpful. I let my running completely go over the years though and I just started all over last week. Right now I'm just trying to keep moving through one whole song and then catch my breath and repeat. I plan to do two to three running days each week so if you want to add me or start a forum I would be happy to participate.

    I'm in! I'm doing Week 3 right now. I'm doing a 5K on July 2 come hell or high water, so I hope I'm ready for it. I'm also doing another one July 31. All I want to do is finish without dying. :)

    Still going strong, although the more run sections the harder it gets. My running partner said it was silly, we should just run for 8 minutes straight, because its not as hard on your body to start/stop/start/stop. I just gave her a look like she was crazy because getting through 60 seconds is already tough enough for me!

    I did Week1 Day2 yesterday, and walked today. Feeling great! Although I know it won't be this easy for long...

    Recently finished it. Totally amazed that it works, couldn't run a minute at the start, now doing 5-6 k 3x week. I did a few weeks twice and took a month longer than you are 'suppsed' to. I never believed I could actually do it. Found the first 'long' run (week 4 or 5) psychologically tough just cos I didn't think I could. But I did! No looking back. Stick with it, trust the programme, it's awesome.
