Did anyone else start c25k today?

I am nothing if not cliche!

I did *a* 5k today, does that count?

For serious though, that's how I started running so I think it's a good program and will continue to encourage you to keep at it. I used an app called Get Running. I think RunKeeper also does intervals and prompts while still allowing you to listen to music now too (that may require the pro version, I don't know).

Well, I can't walk from the couch to the kitchen without getting winded and coughing my innards out, but I was going to look into something like that when I was ready, so thank for the recc, Wendy!

Wendy in 2008 I completed c25k and ran a few 5k races. I was always very slow but was proud of myself. Then I just quit. Dumb.

Make sure you fill up on self loathing before you run. Regular running is not nearly as fun as hate running.

Ooooh Cali yes that is super motivating

I started a movement from one couch to the other because that's where my cozy warm blanket was. That's as far as I got

I need to get my endurance up. I run 20 to 30 minutes and then move on to an elliptical machine. I'd like to get my endurance up to run a full hour. I ran about 50 minutes once, but then I died. I was dead. And I run as slow as I am physically able of running. Which I'm fine with.

KristenBtobe · January 2012

Me too, C. I want to increase my endurance this year. I am a terrible runner. I like to runasfastasicanstand for a few minutes then I'm winded.

WendyToo · January 2012

Moo, the get running app and run keeper both do that. Runkeeper also let's you track all of your runs on a web based profile to see how you're doing over time.

Theres no rule that says only fast people are running. I am slowwwww too, but I think any time that you are getting exercise and being active for yourself is good.

I cannot wait to be able to run again. One day, one day.

Yesterday I nursed a champagne hangover (i had 2 bottles to myself with only cheese and crackers in my stomach),but today I did W1D1. I hope to be able to keep it up. I am in terrible shape and want to get better endurance and jus be healthier.

Like Cali, I am also a fan of the hate run. I like to give my belly a good squeeze as motivation.
