    This is great! Today was my rest day (not a GREAT way to start off the year, but I needed it). I will post my run tomorrow I can get it in (we are travelling tomorrow).

    I hadn't really planned to do much running...however I did find a great routine: from couch to 5K -10 week training. I found it on a website called pinterest, and it was originally from someone's blog...I'm not sure whose.

    Check it out here: (this link is just to the image of the workout plan, not the person's blog)

    So far we've been lucky with our weather this winter, but I don't know how long it will last! So I was thinking of tackling this in the spring.

    I'm not a runner but I'm prepared to give it a go as it seems to be the best way to burn fat. I've discovered Couch to 5k too and I'm starting it tomorrow. My goal is to enter a 5k race at the end of the programme in 10 weeks time. Here's hoping! Need your support guys!

    C25k is awesome! I am half through the program and I am running my first 5k mid-February. It's great if you aren't into running like I was. Now its my go to stress reliever! :) but today is my rest day.

    I think the C25K program is amazing. I did it last summer and went from barely being able to run a mile at a time to running 2.5 miles at a time with ease. I think the last half mile was tough mentally for me. I signed up for my first 5k in April, so I've got to get in shape before then.

    I have never been a runner but I think that I am going to try the C25K. There is also a couch to 5k group on here that we might want to check out.
