New Couch to 5km challenge - I'm doing it! Anyone else want to give it a go?

[rufalina]

oh oh I was planning on starting this myself next week, so sush and cindy, I am IN IN IN!!!! I have new running shorts, and am back at work, so running round the park at lunchtime is a great thing. This reminds me, I must go and download the podcasts.....

[sushee]

I'll be downloading them tonight ruf!

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...

[sushee]

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!

I'm not sure I'll be doing 3 days a week myself either, krys. I also ride 40 minutes 3 times a week, and walk twice a week, so I'll probably be only doing this twice a week at most. So I don't see why you can't join in as well!
