    Today will be a rest day. Will be in the car most of the day.

    I am curious abuot the C25K program. I don't have an iphone though. I am a baby when it comes to the weather and I am also waiting for the weather to improve before I start walking/running. Its snowing today.

      Up at crack of dawn this morning for a hill walk of over 1,600ft (fab views! very cold but not windy thankfully)


      I'm also curious about the Couch to 5K -no iphone either, had a look at the format of it via Google - looks quite feasible and a good time of year to start planning it (until I start it no doubt!!!!! I'm a hopeless runner - not built for it, bit top heavy) might have to come up with a series of songs for my ipod which will act as a timer between walking and running times. Feeling quite strong with the exercise I've been doing and want to take this to something with a real goal - and me running more than 1 minute is my first goal!!

        Hi Guys, I used to HATE the treadmill!! My friend has completely transformed her body thru running so that inspired me to have a go. I googled 'starting a running plan' or similar and found lots of people recommending the Couch to 5K. You can find the whole plan for free on the internet. You don't need an iphone but it is great as it gives you cues and encouragement. Maybe there is something similar for the ipod? I haven't looked on itunes.. may be worth a try. thingagainkaren - I am very top heavy... I need to find a really good sports bra. Have tried most. In order to be comfortable (and not self-concious), I wear two bras - one regular triumph one and one sports one and those babies don't even move!!!! Good luck if you decide to start the C25K. I am really enjoying it and have noticed a real improvement in my fitness and shape already. x

          Thanks for this Zarabelle - esp the 2 bra scenario (!) - my sports one is pretty good, but extra scaffolding might be needed if I run!! Thanks for the encouragement, I'll get what I can from the internet and then build it into my day!!!! Just feel this is whats needed to see more shape difference now - cheers. Good luck to you too - keep going! x

            You can download free c25k MP3s that will work on any mp3 player. They have vocal and musical cues telling you when to change between walking and running. You can find them at Couch to 5k - C25K Running Program
