I would but I don't think I can run a 5K up and down my hallway and I am house trapped during the week.

@mrbee: LOL - "pleasant computer lady."

I have done C25K before using a different app, but it played my own music & then would tell me when to run & walk. I really liked it & I was able to run/jog more than I ever have been, but I never ended up completing it. I had to do multiple weeks twice, but I am not in great shape!

I want to try again, but with being back to work part-time, all my time with LO feels so precious... Maybe if I could muster the energy after she goes to bed!

I just started this and finished week 3... kind of. I'm still struggling with it, especially with my misbehaving dog.

We did it and it worked, could urn for 30 minutes by the end of it, and I could barely do 60 seconds when I started!! I want to do it again but I'm not cleared for exercise yet - hopefully I will be by next week or the one after.

@mrbee: It has been good! The first couple of weeks were super easy but when you get to like 8-10 minute runs, that's when I struggled a little. I have really learned to pace myself and to play that mental game that is SO important in running. I seriously go so slowly I wouldn't be surprised to see snails creeping past me, but I think speed will come with time. I am registering for a 5K for late this month!!!

We did it after #1 was born and it was really good. We always joked that I wanted to hurt the pleasant British lady trying to egg me on "just 30 more seconds!"

@mrbee: that's awesome! I did this once and never never was a runner before. You can do it if I can!

Yay! I did one 2 summers ago, and need to do it again this summer. I just used a free app and then at the end of the summer ran a (very slow) 5k. (It took 45 min ) I hope I can stick the boy in a stroller for a half hour a day and get a little exercise in!

It really is time for me to dust off my running shoes again. I'm going to start this week!

I'm starting this week!! I'm excited. Hope I can keep it up! Ill be running Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I know it's not supposed to be back-to-back, but it's the only days I can fit it in.

@mrbee: Thanks!! Just got back, not too bad The app seems wonky to me - I only hear the pleasant computer lady when the screen is on, so I missed my cues a bunch of times, and ended up having to keep manually checking my phone every so often to stay on track. Does that happen to you?

@mrbee: Thanks!!
