I may have to give it a try. This winter I definitely resorted to couch potato Jen. Sad!

You have inspired me! Thank you so much :D I have inspired my fiancee and joined a group online called spark people. :)

I’ve been thinking about the C25K program ever since you told me about it at the recent tweetup. I’m in the same boat you are – great starter, not so great with the follow-through, was once in great shape, now not so great … Either way, the fact that you started the program gets me motivated to get my butt moving. Thanks for sharing all of the great links and I’m excited to get started!

Funny because I was thinking the couch to 5K might be friendlier on my knees. I need to fix my heal problem first, but hopefully I can start by the 15th of March. You should also consider the Alaska Run For Women on June 13th. It’s a great race! Or nice walk – whatever works.

I started couch-to-5k in November, and ended up skipping the gym for a few weeks after week 3 or 4. I’ve been trying to get back into it by picking up where I left off, but it’s not really working! I’m actually planning on starting over with week 2 tonight!

I was already planning on doing a 5K in May. This is perfect! I still haven’t had Maya yet, but as soon as I’m all recovered from having her I’m planning on getting started with training for the 5K. I would LOVE to be able to do a half-marathon. I’ve been in amazing shape before, and I know I can do it again. I, like you, am notorious for starting things with great enthusiasm and then just losing interest unless I’m either totally hooked or have some kind of motivating force keeping me straight.

So, yes…I’ll totally do the Couch to 5K program with you! I’ll just be a couple weeks behind you and Sharisa.

I have done the couch to 5k training before, it is totally do-able.

Right now I am training for my first marathon with Team in Training. So far it has been the most amazing and supportive expereince. I am bloging my training and whatnot till the marathon here: http://howmanymilestillsandiego.blogspot.com/

Good Luck!

Hmmm… How do I say this… Well, you are a genius. I recently attempted to try out this program, but I could not time myself and actually run. So, now that you discovered the podcasts and pointed me in the right direction — I am planning on starting tomorrow. This will help considerably since I recently (read two days ago) decided that I should enter a 10K mud run hosted by our local military base in October. Thank you!!!
