Hey Heather, well done on taking up running. It is hard, but always worth it

I did the couch to 5k thing a couple of years ago and it worked really well. I'm doing a modified version of it at the moment to get back in shape.

Best of luck

I had to restart week 2 last night due to being sick and having to take 4 days off in a row. Last night was GREAT though. It feels great to work up a sweat and I actually found my pace was picked up quite a bit from week 1 and I didn't stroke out lol Also have a stopwatch now which really helps!

It's actually alot more enjoyable that I thought it would be LOL Thanks for asking!!

Getting sick sucks. I can't tell you how many times I've started a new exercise program and gotten sick within the first week or so and had to take a break.

Glad you got right back on it. Sounds like you're doing great.

where is the link to this program? i can't seem to find it. i'm pretty sure that i'm doing it already (or at least on my way) since i can run a quarter mile, then walk a quarter, then run, etc.

thanks, i didn't realize that 'coolrunning' was the same thing.

i am at like week 4 of this, although not exactly. i will try to increase to 1/2 mile in between walking.
