I started running witht the C25K and in October (a year later) I ran a marathon! I would NOT have been able to finish it if I didnt start with the C25K first. There were times when the C25K was really hard, I most definetly was not a runner) BUT I am so glad I did it! Keep it up!

I used 2 differnt podcasts when I did the couch to 5k. One was Suz and I forget the other one but both were free and I could put it on my shuffle. (Yes, I still use an iPod shuffle, one day I will upgrade, lol) Both of them were hip hop/pop music and they used audio cues to tell you when to walk or jog etc.

I finished w4d2 this morning. If I stay on track, and dont repeat any weeks I will finish on October 23. The Run Like Hell 5K is on October 25. Im nervous that I wont be ready, but I think I want to sign up. Advice? Thoughts?

I finished w4d1 this morning. I wasnt going to go, and then my dog didnt even want to get out of his bed, but we went and I am so happy about it! Someone once told me that you never regret working out after its done, but people regret NOT working out.

I finished week 3 today! I am nervous to start week 4. I mean all the runs are timed in minutes instead of seconds now :wink:

I would love to join you all. I'm getting married on June 26, 2010! SInce the begining of summer I have lost 16 pounds and want to lose another 16-20. SW: 151 (today!) GW: 135

I only put in my actual workouts. But when I was biking to class this summer, I would've put those in too, but not walking on campus.

W3 D2 this morning and I got it done. My sweetie even woke up this morning to run with me. (He ran cross country in high school, so it wasnt too bad for him, although he did break a sweat) IMy dog is also behaving much better on our runs in the morning.

w3d1 done. It was tough, but I finished the whole thing. Wahoo! In the middle of one of the 3 minute runs I started thinking about how hard the next week was going to be, but then I stopped myself and reminded myself I only had to finish today,and not worry about what I would have to do later in these workouts. That…

Finished with W2D3. I am looking forward to week 3. How many people are going for time or distance? I think I will do time, because Im still pretty slow :wink:

W2D2 done and done. Another one in the bank! When am I supposed to start liking running? I keep waiting for those endorphins to kick in, but it hasnt happened yet.

I finished W2D1 today and am feeling okay about it. I liked Suz's podcast for this week so I am looking forward to Wednesday so I can hear it again :happy:

I don't log when I coach, I jsut log the actual workouts I am doing. I chalk the rest up to "bonus calories" :smile:

I got up at 5 am today to do W1D2 and I feel amazing! And my dog was much better today then on monday :tongue:

I started today! After reading the boards, I was really excited to get going. My dog was not as helpful as I thought he would be, since he just wanted to sniff things and pee :smile: Weds. will be day 2 for me!

All summer I've been taking classes at my gym, but with school starting back up, those same classes don't fit into my schedule. I needed something to keep me motivated. Through this board I found the couch prgram, downloaded a couple podcasts, and am excited to try it! I also have never been a runner, so I'm a little…
