Hey it looks like we have the start of a great group!
My week got thrown off and I missed my Monday run-- am going to do W1D2 this afternoon. I think I'm going to have to put exercise into my schedule. It's not like I wouldn't pick up one of my kids or keep a dentist appointment or something-- so really exercise needs to be the same priority.
I had a weird soreness after my first run. A couple days later the tendons in my inner thighs were really tight. Sort of like I'd tried to do the splits or something. My muscles weren't sore at all. Maybe they don't exist yet! 
Has anyone else had that? The location seemed odd.
Rhonda, I can really relate to wanting to be able to say, "Yes, I'm a runner." I've always envied runners their discipline. One of the things I liked most of all about doing this program the last time was that the burden of "needing to exercise" that normally sits on my shoulder was just gone. I think for a long time I've felt that pressure or guilt about not being in shape and what a relief it was to be in a regular exercise routine. It felt good emotionally as well as physically.
If any of you want to read a book that is really motivating about exercise, look at Younger Next Year. (I read the "For Women" version). Favorite quote-- we all have to age but we don't have to ROT.
So, here's to not rotting!!

On a side note: I'm totally new to this community, so I just set up my signature and stuff. Does it look to bulky? Is it silly? Constructive criticism appreciated!

First 5K Scheduled 11/17/12 |
Well, I did W2D1 today. Ugh. I have a feeling that the first day of each week is going to be hard. I took my dog along, and she was dragging in the last run, too. Let's be honest, though--that last run was more of a dragging jog. I think I was actually going slower than if I had been walking, but whatever. Sunday will be better, right? Oh, and my knee and ankle are sooo sore. It didn't hurt while I was running, but it's killing me now. The worst part is that I have NO idea what I'm doing to cause it. 
Wah, wah, wah.
In other (happier) news, I signed up for my first 5K on November 17th! I'm so excited! It's here: http://www.donutrun.org

YES!! So I'm a few days or week behind most of you but this group seems like a good fit for me! I will be starting C25K on Sat 9/29! I'm almost 36 & a single mum to a 4 1/2 yr old boy who keeps me on my toes! I joined Weight Watchers 24 weeks ago, around the time of his 4th birthday when I realized I weighed what I did 42 weeks pregnant!! 
I have lost 41.6 lbs & have about 3 to goal & will make Lifetime Membership in 7 weeks!! When I joined WW, I started going to the gym & walking up a storm- wasn't long before my feet just wanted to move faster & I started "running" a little bit!! Had to drop my gym membership- couldn't afford it & WW- major push in acheiving Lifetime is not paying for it anymore!! Figured I would have a better chance exercising on my own but I slacked a bit in the first couple of weeks & gained a few pounds back & now being so close, I'm determined, driven & dedicated!! Besides I really liked the bit of "running" I was doing & look forward to more! Very excited about taking the journey w/ you guys- will keep you posted!!
Hi all, me again. It looks like I'm the youngest person here (23), but gosh it doesn't feel like it! I finished W2D1 today like Mamafreedak... and my left hip was/is hurting so bad!! It began hurting when I was running W1D3, and hurt untill the next afternoon. I was practically limping the next morning. It hurts bad right now when I walk (just got back from my run about 30 min ago).... I really don't want this stop me from being able to finish this!! I have been doing basic stretches after running, but I'm not an expert... maybe I'm not doing enough or the right ones?
Does anyone know what might be causing this? Anyone else having hip pain?

It is hard to believe that I will be able to run for 30 minutes straight in 9 weeks, but I am going to stick it out!
