Hi! I would love to join you all for a online support group sort of thing! I started last Thursday, and just finished week 1 today!
A little about myself... I'm 23 and work a very sedentary job, and have not had a regular exercise routine since I graduated from highschool! So, at this point I am very out of shape. Though luckily, not too overweight (5'4", 135lb). I'm not really doing this for loosing weight though (though, that would be nice), I am just sick of feeling so out of shape and want to prove to myself that I can run a 5k if I stick with this! It will also be nice to be in shape for any hiking or other fun outdoorsy activities that come along in life.
Like KDenn, I thought this program would be great because it is free!! No gym or equptment costs- yay!!
I've been taking my dog out running with me these last few days, but it is starting to get cold. I would like to keep running outside to get the Vitamin D and enjoy the outdoors-- anyone have thoughts on running in the cold? Just throw on some layers and a hat?
Good luck guys! 
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!!!!!
I finished Week 1 today! Woohoo! I threw in an extra minute at the end and extended my cool down just a bit. I even aimed for my runs to be uphill I'm a little terrified to move on to Week 2, but I'm hoping I stay just as motivated. It's darn hard to get out of bed at 6am when I have two warm little girls snuggling me!

I should define "uphill". I really mean teeny-tiny inclines on my gravel road that no one else would ever notice 
When I told my hubby that our road was hilly, he was supportive and said something like, "Yeah, it really is!" When I told my mom the same thing (she lives with us), she said, "No, it's really not." She keeps it real. 
My knee hurts tonight. I don't actually think it's the running, though. A while after my run, I wanted to do some yoga. I let my 3-year-old pick the workout, and she chose lower body. We all three did it together, and it was a total cluster. I had to twist in weird ways because the kids were under me, and I'm pretty sure I just stretched something weird. I hope that's it, at least!
runningsoon4sure, I'm sorry about your knee! Do you have existing knee issues, or is it new?
