    Yep, Monday we start week 1 if you're cool with that! Oooh I'm excited now! I've downloaded in the running plan and will have to set my alarm clock for 5.30am ( ) Monday morning!

    What have i got myself in to???

    I am actually looking forward to it! Has to be better for me than my coffee and smoke in the morning doesnt it??
    It looks achievable when it is broken down like they have in the plan! I am looking forward to making it at the end. I am going to weigh and measure myself this weekend too so i can see how/if my body changes over the 9 weeks!

    Any other takers out there???

    It does look achieveable. I think that's what I like about it. And they do say that if you can't move to the next week, you can repeat weeks (which I suspect I'll be doing).

    I know heaps of people who have done it, and they all love it, and are stoked to get to the end. I want to be one of those people! Lol!

    C'mon everyone else, surely there must be more people who are game to join us? I'm waking at 5.30am because it's the only time it's a) cool enough to run and b) when my kids will still be asleep. But not everyone has to do it at that ungodly hour, though!

    Yay someone else to join us! I was looking at a nike+ipod sports kit, but realised I need to buy a nano because all I have is a classic (grr).

    Oh that would be fancy Sush, I only have my mobile, but it does the trick. Plus I always feel better round the city with a phone, especially when starting a new exercise routine...

    Lol at being fancy! No one's told me that I'm fancy in ages! My ipod is the only thing that keeps me going when I'm riding my spin bike. Yesterday the ipod baterry was dead and I couldn't ride anymore after 3 minutes because I couldn't 'zone out' to the music.

    I actually bought the ipod as a pressie for myself when I lost my first 10 kgs. Must think of a reward for when I finish the 5km. (note I didn't say 'if' but 'when! Lol)

    I may be interested but also do bike riding and indoor soccer (soccer for fun and ride to work to reduce my emissions plus exercise) so wonder if I can do one session a week and just see how I go. It can only help my fitness even if I dont become a running fanatic. I actually bought some good joggers today because amart has some specials and I need a good pair just for walking as have terrible feet. So I already have the equipment!
