Hi Betcha Congrats on your first run. You'll be hooked! Laura is brill. Hang on to her every word, she will teach you how to run during the course of the next 9 weeks. She spoon feeds you bit by bit so you're not overfaced with how-to's. The music gets pretty bad I warn you, but if you can put up with the music it will make you a better runner. LOL

You see, you can do it! And you will.

Keep posting and don't stop.

Congratulations for not hanging about thinking about it but getting out there. Running has given me a very positive attitude on life. C25k is very empowering and I am sure you will never regret starting it.

Keep running, keep smiling.

This is exactly how I felt two weeks ago, and I'm so surprised that after each run I'm still feeling just as good. I thought the feeling would wear off, but just stepped it up with week 3 run 1 and feel brilliant! Go us!
