    HahahahaH! I genuinely thought that everyone had the overall fitness goal of better sex and was being ambiguous about it by writing "...and the fun one". I kept thinking 'YAY! a feisty group of honest people!' I see now that it was a copy/paste coincidence, but I'm intentionally being ambiguous... errr not so ambiguous now that you all had a peek inside my head.


    1) I'm starting Monday with week 4 day 1, I've been working out for a bit and think it's a challenging place to start without running me into the ground.
    2) I will run MWF and do resistance with my trainer TTH, SS are my fun days for Zumba or swimming or other active stuff with the fam.
    3) I'm doing the program to get ready to train for the Humpy's 1/2 marathon in AUG. I know, training to train, but I've got a long way to go.
    4) I started in Jan with over 100 lbs to lose and want to get my healthy back. I know I won't be down to my goal weight by Aug, but if I work hard, I'll be able to perform well and enjoy the race. I want to enjoy hiking, skiing, running, and yes...THE FUN ONE like I used to.
    5) We subsistance fish, meet bears and wolves on our afternoon walks, and have moose in our yard on a regular basis. oooh, and wait too dang long for summertime here in Alaska.
  • 1) I am Week 3 Day 3
    2) Monday Wednesday Friday and aerobics or cross training Tuesday and Sunday
    3) To have a realistic goal to work towards that I can hopefully feel proud of achieving and then move on to 10k!
    4) Weight loss and overall fitness
    5) I've lived in the Middle East for 6 years

    1.) I'm at Week 1 Day 2
    2.) Don't really have a set schedule. I like to switch up my workouts, but I want to try for 3 times a week.
    3.) Being able to run a 5K ( or shoot, even a mile!) without wanting to die afterwards is on my bucket list.
    4.) Try to conquer my high blood pressure, get healthy, lose weight, and most importatly, be happy!
    5.) I love to crochet!

    Hello, I'm new!

    1) Where you are at in your running program (i.e. Week/Day)? Just did Week 3, Day 1 yesterday. I've had a few stumbles where I got sick and didn't run for a whole week, so I stuck on Week 2 a little longer than the program suggests. Planning on doing W3D2 today :)
    2) What days do you do your running? Honestly, I don't have a totally regular routine. My schedule is so haphazard that it's hard to schedule regular times to do it. But I try to do Mon/Weds/Sat.
    3) Why you are doing the program? I've never been able to run. I was always chubby growing up, and when I dropped a bunch of weight at the end of high school I still wasn't in shape. Now that i've gained a bit of the weight back, I'm even worse. Ultimate goal is to be able to do Warrior Dash in October.
    4) Overall fitness goal? Lose weight -- get to 130. Be able to run a 5k and more!
    ...and the fun one
    5) A random fact about you! =) I am kind of obsessed with goats. I don't have any but it's like my biggest stupid dream to have goats one day.

    Hi guys, maybe a bit late in the day but I'm here, can't believe dummy me didn't think to look for a c25k group when I started lol :)

    1) Where you are at in your running program (i.e. Week/Day)?

    I'm on week 5, should be day 3 but I'm going to repeat day two on todays run due to having my session cut short the other day when a cyclist ran my dog (my little running buddy!) over!

    2) What days do you do your running?

    Generally mon, weds, fri, though on week 4 I substituted fri for the saturday :)

    3) Why you are doing the program?

    Weight loss! It's cheap, it's fun, I'm actually enjoying it and the sense of achievement after each session is phenominal!

    4) Overall fitness goal?

    I plan to run 5k 3x a week, and compete in my local parkrun, to lose weight and look spanky!

    5) A random fact about you! =)

    I have a 9ft boa constrictor in my bedroom. Really!
