Hi everyone,

this is our second week in the Couch to 5K program. This is designed to be a 9 week program, but you can repeat weeks (as I will be doing) until you are comfortable moving on. However, you are not supposed to skip weeks.

It has been strongly suggested by trainers and runners alike to NOT run on consecutive days.

More information can be found here: Cool Running :: The Couch-to-5K Running Plan

Attached are the first and second weeks in detail

Anyone is free to join, no matter where we are!!

This is the place to check in and support with each other and see how it is going.

What week are you doing?

How is it going for you? Is it too difficult / too easy?

Any comments??

Good luck everyone!

I DID IT. I completed week one. I can see where one can become addicted to running. I was going out last night even if it was raining (the rain actually stopped before I got outside). I still go out in the dark, however. Not brave enough yet to have the neighbors see me jogging through the neighborhood. How silly is that. Oh well, eventually I will get to the point that I won't care, but right now I'm still not that confident. I haven't got an IPOD yet. My birthday is next Sunday (11/4) so I left notes all over the kitchen that I'd like one for my birthday!! Very unusual for me, when asked what I want for my birthday or Christmas, I always say not to get me anything, that I'm all set. Not this year!! Sorry to be so lengthy but I'm just very excited. Starting Week No. 2 today. Good luck everyone.
