    I'd already checked in but darn mfp lost my post. Here I go again:
    Hello from drizzly, dreary Albany,N.Y. According to the C25k app today is not a run day. Screw that. Then I look out the truck window at the sky. Dank,dark,drizzly. I want to crawl back in bed. It's so warm and inviting. But..on go the shoes..out comes the phone. Todays running terrain: a concrete parking lot for a garage behind the Pilot truck stop. Move go my feet. Week one day one redone. My mile dropped from 21 minutes to 17,burned 228.2 calories and 1.5 miles covered. Now to go to try and find breakfast...
    So...how's everyone holding up?

    Hope I'm not too late to join.

    I started C25K a couple of years ago and got up to week 6 and stopped for some reason, I'm searching my mind for why but cannot recall. After seeing this thread yesterday I restarted again last night with W1D1 and it was HARD, that's a measure of how large and unfit I have become but it felt so good and it really helped me with my weightloss before that I'm determined to see this through this time.

    A little about me...

    (1) I'm a big fella currently tipping the scales at about 275 so I have a pile of weight to loose and this can only help.
    (2) I'm based in the UK where we have www.parkrun.org.uk/ which organizes weekly 5k's for runners of all abilities so I'm lucky enough to have one on my doorstep as soon as I feel able.
    (3) I'm not a real Reverend and that's not really me in the picture.

    Happy to be friends with anyone else on this journey

    I'm doing it too :) Week 7, day 2 done this morning. Some days are a struggle, some days are good. I think it depends on my mindset. Today was the same workout as Saturday, but it felt so much easier. Yay.
