Couch to 5-K Running program

thanks for the boost of confidence Jenn!!

I am a total loser!

I *just* now remember that I was supposed to start this 2 days ago. Maybe I had better wait until work/school is done before I try to cram something else in.

it's only 3 days a week, so if you are exercising it can be done.. but if you can't cram it in, don't worry about it.. lOL

Am I exercising already!????    ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I can barely stay awake to get through the day! Which is why I wanted to do it. But I also need to be realistic about my schedule and responsibilities and health.

So, I am making a promise to myself, that once this next 5-6 weeks is over, I am going to jiggle myself into shape. Maybe not a pretty shape, but some sort of lumpy shape!

geez, you'd think that you had 4 kids, a job and school.. I just don't get why you don't have time to exercise. seriously.. c'mon now girl.. LOL


It's ok.. it's never too late to start.  We'll talk in December!

C25K is awesome.  I started it last year after Thanksgiving ... one year and several races later I'm getting ready to do my first full marathon November 22nd in Philly.  (did 3 Half Marathons already)

I could have never got the courage to start running had it not been for the easy method used in the C25K program.     I used the Robert Ullurey podcasts.

Check out http://c25k.com/ for other podcasts that help you know when to switch from walking and running so you don't have to look at a watch.

There are a few right in iTunes as well for free.

Good luck!   You might just catch the running bug ... watch out!!

Wow, you make it sound so fun! I am not beginning it until December but am looking forward to trying it. I would love to run! (without being chased!)

Thanks for the info Tom. I definitely will want something for the IPOD to keep me moving at the right times.  Right now it's easy since I am in the 1st week and on the treadmill, but I will end up moving it outside eventually.
