I did join the September group and I have found it to be very informative and supportive. I am excited about my future and I know that running will be a part of it. Congrats on your success in the program...I hope to be running 4 miles one day

You did something yesterday you did not do the day before. That is a gain.

This hit me spot on! I am moving forward in so many ways and I can apply this one quote to all the areas that I am trying to change...thank you for your reply and I will remember this quote when I feel like I did not meet my goal I need to look at what I did do and not what I did not do!!!

I did wonder at one point if maybe I was running to fast...thanks for your comment...I will go slower tomorrow! I know that this is a learning process and I am willing and ready to learn.

Anyone starting C25K in late Sept?

Ok, so...today was hard! Am I the only one that did not finish my first run? I stopped with about eight minutes left. I was so dissapointed in myself. I went to the outdoor cement track in my neighborhood and I realized very quickly that this running thing is very hard! Does anyone have any advice for a extreme newbie? I have never ran in my life...not even as a child. I could sprint like the wind but to get any distance out of me was futile. I want this so badly and I will not give up but wow do I have a long way to go. HELP!!! I have a heart condition that makes it very dangerous for me to be overweight but I am having such a hard time getting my mind and body in line with my plans for my future health. I am 5'4 and I weigh 171lbs. My doctor says that I need to weigh 125-130 to lighten the load on my heart. I hope that I do better next time..should I start on the treadmill instead of the track? What is the right way to breathe? What worked for you?

Any help is greatly appreciated...as I hope to be a Couch to 5K success story!

Thanks!

Howdy! I am starting the program today. I would love to be a part of this group. I absolutely need the support. I have wanted to run for as long as I can remember but I have never made that first step. I am a 36 year old mother of 4. I am 5'4 and I weigh 171lbs. My goal weight is 130lbs. I have joined a gym and I have a track near my house. I have a friend that started this program about a year ago and her weight and her health changed greatly! I am about to go do my first walk/run...D1W1. Wish me luck! I feel a bit intimidated but I am going to give this a shot...I look forward to talking to you all more and going through this journey together

Good luck everyone!!!!!
