I'm hoping to get started tonight.  I completed C25K about a year ago and was forced to stop for the past 8 months or so due to a back injury and fibromyalgia.  I have absolutely no will power to get re-started.  I've been trying now for a couple months.  Now like a dummy I'm going to start when the weather is in the 90's with 90% humidity.  I have been reading the threads on here for the past couple of days, and I have to say, the people on here is what got me through the program the first time and the more I read, I'm feeling the motivation coming back.

Thank you to everyone and I hope we all stick to it.  C25K is a great program and it really works.

I am not doing the program, but I would be happy to be here to cheer you on!  I have completed three 5k races, with the most recent (May 2012) being the first time I ran the entire thing.  Its so rewarding.  So as long as you don't mind, I am here for encouragement! 

Well, I had a great surprise when I went to start W1D1, my husband decided to go with me.  He has a bad knee so we walked for a mile rather than start week 1, but that's ok.  He'll probably want to walk a couple more times before we start, so I'm looking forward to starting the program on Monday.  I'm just thankful he's willing to get off the couch and go with me.

Hi Tammy,

I am starting this program, too, and would love to be part of a group that keeps each other motivated. I am Angie, and I am 47. I have four kids (age 12, 15, 19 and 20), and work as a High School Guidance Counselor. I am starting the program tomorrow morning, 5/31/12. At 5'5", I weight 198 pounds. Obviously, I would like to drop about 40 pounds, but would mainly like to feel better and have more energy.

Good Morning All June C25K Starters!!!!!

I am so excited to be part of this group and today will be Day 1 for me.  Reading everyone's posts is very inspiring for me.

I am a 46 year old mother of 3 grown children and 2 grown stepsons.  As I referred to in my original post, I am not a  skilled runner by any means but have a few 5K races under my belt but not for a few years.

I have a few goals:  getting into shape and being able to RUN a 5K. 

I look forward to chatting with all of you!!!

Its amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it!  I ran 1.8 miles last night @ 25:36.  which is a great pace for me, never thought I would be able to run one mile!  good music and motivation, keep head up, focus on breathing...next thing you know you're done!

I will admit, my calf muscles are really sore today, but nothing a little walking out won't cure tonight!

Congrats to the W1D1 finishers!  The hardest step is behind you now...beginning!!

I completed this in 2010 as well. I still run occasionally... sometimes 2 times a week.  my 11 yr old daughter wants to run . School is done so she is out for the summer and would like to get in shape. so I'm starting this with her Monday. I hope she will love it as much as I and will want to continue even when she starts back to school in fall.
