I have always wanted to be a runner and just never really liked running (big boobs are not good with running….ouch) I still want to try it so maybe this will help me. I heard about this couch to 5k thing and found on on the web that made you pay for it so its good to find one I can download for free. I had ordered the first week from that other guy and it was good, but I didn't keep it up :( With alot of you doing this too, I will try again, but I pulled a muscle in my back and won't be able to start for a while. I can hardly move from one room to the next so I will start when I am better. Thanks again for another great idea.

Yay!!! I HEART Couch to 5k. That is what started off the whole shabang for me, I wasn't even CLOSE to being a runner before I tried it last spring (2008). By doing weights on the days I wasn't running, I went from 175 lbs down to 150 by the end of the summer and being able to run a 5k! Amazing program for anyone who has never done a bit of exercise in their life! But I must warn you.. the empowerment that comes along with it is ADDICTING! (in a good way of course!)

I have finished the C25k. I tried it last year but got to week 5 or 6 and life got in the way and I never got started again. I started over this spring. I have been running 3 miles 3x a week for over a month now. I will run my first race this Saturday. :)

I tried the C25K a few years ago but never finished. I was just talking to my husband about this last week. We head home Thursday night (late) and I plan on starting this next week. I loved how running made me feel. A friend has a 5K fun run/benefit coming up in October. I'll be training for that.

I am sooo not a runner, however I know that interval training has helped me to get through a 5k and mixing that training with "clean eating" is helping me complete my OHB (Operation Hot Body)!!!!!
Good luck to all of you doing this!!!! :o)
