5K challenge check in

Hello for everyone who didn't read my earlier post, I am training for a 5K and have issued a challenge for anyone who wants to join me. i will be checking in periodically, and if you want to train to I invite you to joing me. I am using a program called COUCH TO 5K. You can find it at:   http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml .  Well today was the first day I trained. I did ok, but not as good as I expected. I knew I wasn't in the best shape but I do walk alot. So I have never really ran before and that is what got me today. I had to rest for about five minutes before I could finish my session today, but I did finish. So overall I think I did Okay. Im a little bummed. I had been training to do a 5k in september, but that is no longer going on so now I have to find a new one to do. Anyways all of you out there who accepted my challenge. I want to hear form you! Let me know how its going, and Ill continue to keep you updated.  Best wishes!

ok so I'm going to be completely honest I haven't done anything to train yet....I want to do this really bad but I have been really busy this week....no more making excuses I am going to start this week!

I've got my start date for monday. The couch to 5k program looks very easy to follow so i am looking forward to starting this.

I won't be able to start until i'm cleared from my surgeon. that appt is 8/30, so maybe i'll start the day after!!! good luck to all!

I can't do this yet, because of a crazy painful hernia - and I have rny when they fix that, but I'm sooo doing it after. Thanks for posting that page!
