I chose “nope” but only because my knees have problems that would be made much worse by running. Doctor told me that I should give up hiking, too, but that’s just not going to happen. I’d go insane.
I’d love to start – I’m just not sure how to get going (and stay going). I’ve exercised for years, but you inspire me to run. I can’t go more than a few feet and am puffing, in spite of being in what I consider fairly good shape. Maybe one day you could give us an overview of how you started (I know at the time you did….but something we could print and use as a guide….or something???)
Barbara – most of the details about how I went about it are here, especially if you follow the first two links (to Couch-to-5K and to the podcast.) The C25K program doesn’t have you running very far at all at first; you could probably do it!

You should add a new choice
“Yep! and you were the one who inspired me to start!!”
If anything will be responsible for turning me from a walker into a runner, it will be this blog. You make make the process actually seem possible!

Agreed, you need an “inspired by me” button. CT5K newbie here, on week 4. You were certainly the one that got my friend and I started.
