    :smile: Hello
    I am interested in coolrunnings.com. However the web sight goes to a domain site. Is anyone else having this trouble? Do I have the correct web address?


    I had this problem also so I googled cool runnings and found it there.

    I am on week 4 of the program but is it ok if I still join too? I LOVE IT! I am struggling with week four and might end up repeating it but oh well. Suz's podcasts are AMAZING They are really easy to follow and the hip hop music is upbeat enough and has a strong-enough beat to make running more interesting! I am looking forward to week 4 run #3 tomorrow morning at 6am!!! (ewwwwww 6am)

    I think that anyone starting this program deserves a round of applause because it is intimidating to look at the end goal and say "hey Im going to run 5km in less than 3 months" but in the end....you really could!! Good luck to everyone!!!

    Of course it is fine if you join, you will be our inspirational member hehe! :wink: Welcome abord everyone! I am very excited to start this up again, i really do miss running. I have to get robert ullreys podcast. I had my ex download it for me yesterday and i totally forgot to put it on my iPhone before i left. :cry: :sad: I will just have to run to the music i have now until i can get back over there. :huh: Well i gotta run, (hehe) i will talk to all of you later! And thanks again! Keeping to the program is a lot easier when you have a whole group that supports each other.

    yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!

    i was just asking another group about this the other day & ppl said they'd tried it:smile: i'm so not a runner (barely a walker even lol) i usually use a stationary bike for cardio but i was planning to start on monday too so it would be great to have this group to motivate me!!! mfp rocks!!!!!!!

    i look forward to hearing how y'all are going & will try to post regularly too! is everyone on a treadmill or open road?? i'm going to be alternating........ also, where can we download that timed music??? that would be a big help. lol

    ALL THE BEST EVERYONE :flowerforyou: we can do this!!!!!

    i will be doing all open road. i am not a runner either... yet. we can do it if we all stick together! :bigsmile:

    OooRah!
    I am ready.
    I've been measuring the distances in my neighborhood on GoogleEarth, and I'm building my playlists for my iPod.

    Count me in too!

    mapmyrun.com is also an awesome website for tracking distance!

    I already started this just today, but can I join too? I was afraid to say I'd join before I knew that I could in any way shape or form do this.

    I may have to repeat some weeks - I can forsee that - but I want to give it a try!

    Dont fret, the first time i did this i had to repeat a few of the weeks too. And that is totally fine, especially once you hit weeks 5 and beyond, that stuff is crazy haha.

    Okay guys, I currently weigh 237 and my goal is to be under 200 by new years. i think i can do it, especially with this new program. LETS DO IT!!!

    I think I'm gonna get in on this too! I'm running either a full or half marathon in April of 2010 (depending on what I think I can do) so this will be perfect! :bigsmile:

    I'd like to join. I saw the couch to 5k site a while back, and I've been looking for a different exercise regimen since I'm going to be moving back to school this week and leaving my kickboxing equipment and bike behind :sad: So, I think I'll give it a go.

    I wanna join too!!:bigsmile:

    maddiebabe and ClassiC.......glad to see you here! Let's get movin'!!
    Think I'm finally to a place mentally (fingers crossed) where I want (need) to be.

    Happy to see so many wanting to get off the couch. Any older folks in this group?
    I'll be 50 in 2 months :noway: and don't want to look 50 or look like I've had 6 kids!!

    I don't have an Ipod...can these tunes be loaded on to any MP3?

    Just a bit of a pitch for the program - I've always said I can't run - for this reason and that reason - well I finished this program early July and it's absolutely amazing. Just tell yourself you can do it and you will!
