    I found the group and I am game for joining in on the fun. My ultimate goal is to run one of the fun run 5Ks since I just can't find the fun in plan old running. I started the program with my iPod App about a month ago but left it behind at my Mom's house and haven't done anything since. I will pick it back up this weekend and plan to do my first run Friday. I guess I will start over again even though I left off at Week2 day 1.

    Hi RandleBoyz3,

    The majority of the people in this group are doing the Couch to 5K. It's a group for people who are trying to get past walking and move into jogging/running. Some people in the group are working on 10K's.

    If you do a search for Couch to 5K, you will find several programs. I use the one on coolrunning.com. They also free apps on your cell phone that can be used as well. They especially come in handy if you plan on running outside or on a track. They let you know when to walk and run.

    Everyone is working at their on pace to get to the 5K mark. The discussion board is used to post accomplishments and/or thoughts about how things are going. You can also post questions, if you have any, or whatever you like.

    Please join us if you so desire!!

    Hey there - I'd love to join in too! I'm set to do W2D3 today - so far so good :) I'm using the app on my phone and most often running on a treadmill (sometimes outside if it's not too hot).

    I used to run up until about 4 years ago and have kicked myself since for stopping. I've tried to restart a few times without luck ... I think being a part of a group will be very helpful this time around. Goal is to run an organized 5K on September 30th.

    Good luck everyone!

    I am starting the C25K tomorrow and I was wondering how you are crediting yourself for the workout in MFP?

    Hi and Welcome!!

    I created my own excercise under Cardio. I also have a HRM that I wear. So once I have done my workout, I will log the time and calories burned based on my HRM in my excercise diary.

    I think that's what you are asking. If not, please let me know.

    Thanks for joining. Good luck!!
