Hi folks! Today is my 1-month surgiversary/sleeviversary/whatever, and I've decided to start the Couch to 5K program this week. I've just registered for a 5K on April 29th, so that gives me 13 weeks to get ready. (The program is set up for 9 weeks, but I'm giving myself a few weeks' cushion so I can start off slowly.) Does anyone out there want to do the program with me?

The schedule is outlined here:

There are podcasts and additional resources here:

I just got the iPhone app, which was $2.99. It's pretty awesome. The most useful feature is the verbal cues to switch from walking to jogging, and vice versa. You can listen to music at the same time, which was important to me--I get bored really, really easily when I try to exercise without my music.

If you're looking for a 5K, Active.com is a great resource. Here are their listings (which you can narrow by zip code, etc.):
