Anybody else started C25K today?

I have just completed week one, run one! I have done c25k some years ago, but haven't run at all for a few years.

I did find it hard, and I certainly felt the excesses of Christmas. Still I did it albeit red faced & puffing like an engine!

Yes! :) I did week 1 run 1 this morning! I've never ran before but c25k was recommended by a few people at work and since I'm overweight and determined to get healthier I've decided to go for it. I found it hard and was really self conscious at first, but I did it and was really proud of myself. Well done, keep on running :)

Well done to you too. I have run before, but not for a long time and I have become overweight and unfit. It's good to talk to someone else who has started at the same time.

My cousin also did her first run today, but we live far apart so can't run together. Good luck with c25k. I plan to do run 2 on Friday. :)
