Couch to 5k Challenge

good job to everyone running

one of my favorite hobbies
I ran cross country for my school this past year and lets just say I improved my time 9:00 minutes.

I ran a 24:45 5 k and now run 3 miles every week and am running in a race soon during this summer

running is one of the best hobbies out there and being a baseball player I love it

That is pretty fast pace for a 5k...I just did one this past saturday adn I was very dissapointed. I did 31:54...I was doing great up until mile 2 and then I hit the wall. I am doing another this saturday and hopefully I am going to be ready.

I start my training tonight afterwork... I'm a bit nervous, but I realize that this is not going to happen overnight and might be several months before I can be ready for anything. I'm hoping that Thanksgiving is good target.

GL to you Scott!

Scott, Thanksgiving is a great target date and you are going to be ready for it. I am going to keep checking up on you and giving you advice and motivation.

Just used runningmap to measure, it was 1.25 miles

Well done dude. Thats a great start. Soon it'll be 2 minute runs, then 3, then you won't be stopping.

Did you use our music advise? Are you doing this alone?

Great start dude, keep it up.

Great start dude, keep it up.

I need to do some more research before I make a purchase on a music device... I might start with a cheapie something to tide my over.

It actually wasn't that tough once I got going. But recently I have had horribly cramps in my ribs. But thats just me.
