A couple of years ago I tried out this intriguing program called Couch to 5k (C25K). Basically, it's a training program that gets any self-proclaimed couch potato to jog a 5k in only 9 weeks. It works. I tried it, following the program 100% and received MUCH satisfaction on the day I completed it. I even graphed myself a little chart to take notes on each workout and gave myself a gold star upon completion. (Yes, those gold star stickers your teacher gave you in 1st grade for completing a penmanship paper!)
Here is my "journal chart"

Wow! Thanks for the encouragement! I was just looking at this the other day. I've been walking five miles a day and would LOVE to say that I run that much daily, it just sounds better, you know? I'd like to know if you are continuing to run today?
What a coincidence. My sister in law was just telling me about this program the other day. I thought is sounded very intriging...nice to know it actually works. And I am soooo not a natural runner, so this would be perfect for me. Thanks.

Whoa impressive! Good to know.. I work out frequently but am definitely not a runner. Maybe there's hope after all!
