So today I did day two of C25K! Which is huge....considering I haven't run more than 8 minutes since 2002. O_O

If anyone else is doing C25K I'd love to be pals! :)

    I'm doing C25K as well. Today is Day3, Week 1. I want to do it 6 days a week which means I would have to do each day of the program twice. The first week isn't so bad. Are you using the app?

    Great job by the way!

    I started to do the C25K too but then needed surgery and had to stop but would LOVE to pick it up again. I think it slowly brings you into it at just the right rate. I did notice it got easier as I changed my eating habits and took in more water too. I wish I could get the app, but I have a droid and I think C25K only contracted with the Iphone : / . I'll be starting up again as soon as I get cleard by my doc. Good luck to you guys in doing it...you'll be great!! : )

    I'm using the 'Get Running' app. I love it. ;) I hate running, but you're right, it isn't so bad. hehe

    And great job to you too! :D

    On my android I had a C25K app that worked pretty well. :) I think they're adding more and more.

    I just downloaded an app on my Droid but haven't started using it yet. Think today might be my first day (stressed to the max so I need to release some negative energy and it might as well be beneficial).

    How do you log it in your tracker?

    I was NEVER a runner. I'm 32 and before I started C25K the only time I could remember running was in elementary school! When I turned 30 I started C25K and I can now say that I'm a runner. I've run 7 5k's, and 3 sprint triathons. I'm SLOW as hell, but I'm comefortable enough that I can use running as a workout when I don't have another plan. Add me!! I'll support you.

    That's what I wanna know. How do you log it into the tracker? I don't wanna manually enter it because I'm not sure of the calories I'm burning.

    I usually have RunKeeper (another great app) going on as well in the background. I stagger the start times, so I'll head out the door and start Runkeeper and Spotify, then 30 seconds in I'll start Get Running and start.

    I find that my FitBit and RunKeeper are very similar. RunKeeper even gives you an estimated calorie burn based off your speed/distance. :)

    (If anyone has RunKeeper or FitBit feel free to add me there too! :)
