Do the Couch to 5k running plan

I finished day 3 yesterday. i think I am giong to do another day tomorrow in week 1. that way I don’t have too many days off between runs. i am going to be out of town until sunday, so that is when my partner and I are going to do week 2. One more day in week one can’t hurt right? i think that will help me be more ready for week 2 anyways. especially since it is going to be 3 days.

any song ideas for week 2?

Well, last night I completed Week 1 day 2. I did the whole thing and felt really good at the end. I have to say that at such a high weight I am really suprised that I have done this for 2 days. I am now wondering…how the heck are you going to get to weeks 2 and 3 and 4…I know I can do it when I get there though.

I finally got my mix online for Week 1 if anyone is interested just let me know and I will give you the link. Mrs-Jess@hotmail.com.

Also, do all of you guys skip days in between your runs? What days do you find work the best? I started with Sat, Mon, and Wed…but i think i am going to switch to Sun, Tues and Thurs.

Now, we just wait for Wed…

So I finally got up off the couch (computer chair) and headed outside for my DAY 1.

I couldn’t find another music mix for this. So, I made my own. I have to say that without it I don’t know if I could have made it!

I had a hard time after a few sets, and decided to take a breather for 5 mins…then I headed back out for the last 15 mins.

This is what my music consisted of:
5 minute warm up : Fergalicious
60 second jog : lose yourself
90 second walk : Big Girls Don’t Cry
60 second jog : This Ain’t a Scene, Its an Arms Race
90 second jog : Sweet Escape

Then the jog/walk repeats 3 more times ending with fergie again to cool down.

If anyone is interested in this file just let me know. I would be happy to share it. Its nothing fancy, just the most upbeat parts of each song mixed together.

I am wanting to get started on this plan. I would really like to have music preset. I have found the ullreys one and was wondering if anyone knows of another set?

I can’t wait to start…I just hope I can get through it. I have tried to run before, but at 280 lbs it is a little rough. So, I really think this can make a difference in my life.
