Well I'm doing it on the treadmill... I looked at the treadmill version and it was a printout? Right?

About the same thing I think...

[Ms.AntiBand 2,984]

Almost the same, but it doesn't say anything about speeds or do you just adjust to your own pace. I walk at 3.5 .. OMG, I'm so afraid of running lol!

Omg you walk fast!! I walk at about 2.9 and jogged today at 4.6...

I walk while watching food network.. Kind of like dangling a carrot in from of a donkey I had to learn to walk fast because my daughters next to me run and I don't want to make them wait forever while I finish our 3 miles. Plus, I get sooooo bored I'm fit to be tied.

There are a lot of things under the heading of the "more you do it the better it gets"

That hold true for me... But running is not one of them

It will get easier. It only gets better if you take joy in the accomplishment of being able to run. If not you may never love it....but it will get easier every week. Give it a month and then compare your feelings then to now. You might be surprised.

I have a feeling that I may not progress as fast as some ( I may have to repeat day one multiple times) but I will not give up, I came here to be accountable with this.. so feel free all of you to pester, push, prod or be down right mean to keep me going!

I'm a little bit different. I'm absolutely IN LOVE with c25k and I've tried it in borrowed sauconys that had a lot of miles left in them and in my vibrams and my knee pain has gone from bad to worse. I'm really sad about this as I'm starting to think I might not be able to do this program any more and I looooove me some running so much I just bought the 10k runner app last night for $3.99. 10k! I really want to be a runner! Ran this morning and about 3 hours later, pain.

I think I'll be hanging this up for a while. Maybe I need to lose more weight and work on strengthening and loosening up my muscles with squats and lunges and other knee/leg exercises.

I'm really upset. I've not found another exercise as fun, freeing, and rewarding as this has been in the 4 days I've been doing it. It also burns a lot of calories in a little time.

If anyone has any suggestions as to ways I might be able to continue, I'm all ears! I may see if our local high school has a track open during the summer and start doing that. I absolutely can't afford to get fitted and get shoes, dh has made that clear.
