    Sooo I started C25K at the beginning of summer and got through week 1 before the 100 degree weather hit. Then of course I fizzled out, the heat was a great (pathetic) excuse. :/ So.. it's not supposed to break 90 again until next week and I'm sure even then I can suck it up.

    Starting the C25K tonight!

    I started C25K back in the spring, but with no accountability, it only took a couple of weeks for that to fizzle out. :( I'm with you on this! In fact, I'm going to go do my first run right now!

    Im in too!! I did my first day on Monday 9/5...I have been walk/jogging on and off for several weeks now, but have decided to really follow the program and learn to run...my husband and I are doing our first 5K on November 5th and I'd really like to run most of it :) Tonight I will do day 2 of week 1...looking forward to lending and receiving support :)

    hi fraciss thanks for the add,

    yeah might be abit much lol try and sperate your run days, with at least 1 day inbetween, and do low impact working like biking swimming, yoga or some toger programm like that 30 day shred or what have you, this allows time for your muscles to repair and also to mix it up abit :)

    Completed W1D1 last night while pushing a jogging stroller. I thought I might die at 18 minutes, but got through it! Plan to do W1D2 on Friday night!

    so my week one days got alittle messed up. I started Tuesday got a call Wednesday that my son Baseball practice starts on Thursday so I couldnt run until Friday and I finished day 3 this morning.

    I need some advice. I am good until the last 2 sets of run minutes..... I feel like dying. I am having a hard time getting my breathe caught up in a minute and half. I am nervous about advancing to week 2. Should I repeat week 1? Also when I did the 30DS it really did a number to my knee's and they only hurt after my run not during. Should I get knee braces? I am so not a runner and really want to accomplish this.:grumble:

    Hey, is it too late to join you guys? I just did my first day today on a whim. I have really bad knees so was putting it off until I could get my inner thighs and lower abdominal muscles a bit stronger. I survived today, but I'm not positive if I'll last due to my knees, but I really want to give it my all :)

    So I went to the gym yesterday, to do week 1/day 2 and as I was starting out on my 1 minute run I thought "lets see how long I can actually run before having to stop." So instead of doing 1 minute I did 11!!! I have been playing with run/walking for some time now and the longest I had gone before was 3 minutes, but this time I actually did 11, I couldnt believe it...I am however going to stick with the program because once the 11 minutes were done I had a really hard time getting back in the rhythm of the program... so today I will do my week1/day 3 and just stick with the program...it was pretty cool though to go 11 minutes straight! =)

    I am definitely in! I did the wk1D1 yesterday... I thought I was going to die about half way through but I pushed through and finished it! I have never been a runner but I really, really want to stick with this and see what I can do by the end. I'm doing it on a treadmill and yesterday I walked at 3.7 and jogged at 5.2 but with no incline. Maybe I should try to add some incline?

    Week 1 complete!!! I will do W2D1 tomorrow night! I find it hard to keep up with people or even attempt to get to know anyone on this thred. It's easier for me on my wall, so with that said: Any determined C25Kers that need support or want to do this together with some accountability, ADD ME as a friend or PM me. <3

    I finished Week 1 this morning. I'm now irritated that I have to wait for Wednesday to start Week 2.

    I would like to join, but I will not get started until tomorrow since it is still hot here in AZ and will need to run in the AM.

    Well as I should have moved onto week 2 i redid week one day 1 because I had such a hard time last week. I am now on a schedule with Monday Wednesday and Friday with workouts inbetween......

    I took some advice I got and slowed down my job speed and actually finished without feeling like I was going to die. I am going to redo the hole week and I know for sure next week I will be ready for week 2. I sure do wish it would cool down a little more.

    Keep up the good work future runners!!!! :wink:
