C25k starting next week 11/16- who's in?

TAloha19 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:25:58 GMT

Ok, a little background on myself. I'm 28 (well, I will be in a couple of days), mother to a 2 year old, and about 40lbs. overweight. I have never been an athlete, and definately not a runner. I started the c25k program last summer, but living in Southern California, the heat killed me, and I quit. I had already signed up for a 5k mud run this past September, and it kicked my butt! But, it also made me realize how out of shape I am, and how badly I want to be in shape. SO... now that the weather has started cooling off, I thought I'd give it another go!

Anyone want to start it with me next week? I'm shooting form a M-W-F training schedule, but since my work schedule varies, it might move around a little bit.

Also, anyone who knows of any easy hikes or trails in Southern California, I'm definately open to suggestions to keep it fun!

I've never been a good runner, so I feel this is a good way to start! I'm going to do my workouts on Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturdays. If anyone is starting, or not too far along lets stay in touch

200lbs+ C25K Nov. 23-29

Hello one and all--those currently and formerly 200lbs+. Most in this thread are following (or at least started with) the Couch to 5k Running Program from Coolrunning.com. There's a set of podcasts that was recorded to let you listed to audible cues to guide you through the program. If you have an mp3 player, it is easier than carrying a watch or watching a clock. A lot of people download them to their iPods. If you need them in actual mp3 format, you'll find a link at the top of the page.

We use these weekly threads to keep up with each other, and to encourage each other. If you've been following these threads for a while, please chime in.

Pet Peeves while running?

tcarter83 — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 06:43:40 GMT

Personally I have two: one is drivers not yielding to people (specifically me while running) in the crosswalk, the other is people out mowing their lawns (not really their fault, but temporarily annoying, especially if you are hitting a point in your run where breathing is more laboured).
