There is a guy in my support group that only does Water aerobics and he has lost a ton of weight! So you are on the right track.

I have not started week 3 because my knee is killing me. I never had problems before. Maybe I pulled something. I bought some liquid glucosomine, maybe that will help with my creeky body.

I just wanted to give you all an update since I had not posted to this thread in a while.

I completed weeks 1 and 2 without incident.

Week 3 I began to have knee pain (sever) that I had never had before. So I did not continue the workout. The pain continued through week four and so did my hiatus from working out.

I began taking liquid glucosomine 7 days ago and started feeling more flexibility in my knee and joints.

Sooo I decided to try to pick up where I left off with week 3. My DH, DS, and I headed to the park today and by the second rum my knee started giving out and giving me severe pain! I stopped running but continued to walk as a workout.

Now my knee pain is back in full force again. I think it's time to go to the dr.!

It is just sad because now that I have the motivation to complete the c 2 5k my body will not cooperate. :rolleyes:

I haven't given up!:wink2:

I am so sorry to hear that. Yes, I think it is best to take a sabbatical from the program. I have not started because, like someone else said, it seems like Mt. Everest to me, however, I have gotten up to 1 hour every other day on the treadmill. Eventually I will get the nerve up to try the running program.

I've finally done it. I did my first day of the couch to 5k. OMG my legs were burnin'!!!!:tt1: I kept telling myself to ignore the burning pain in my legs and I did and when that woman on the Podcast said this is the last run, I had a sigh of relief. All in all, I feel good and am looking forward to doing it again tomorrow.
