Today was my first run in the Couch to 5k Programme.
I was inspired by the efforts of my Partner, Steph, who ran in the Race for Life last year and is now preparing for a 10k in May.
If she can do it, then I reckon I should too!
So we've both signed up for a 5k in July. No turning back now!
Proud of you, Slideman!! It's a great journey, and you'll do brilliantly!!
(Just don't do TOO brilliantly and wipe the floor with me in July, will you...??) 
Well done both of you!
You started it, the rest comes with time and practice. Good luck.
I watched the ladies I work with (in their fifties) go from walking at lunch time to jogging for 30 and it put me to shame. It's a plan that works. But I guess you know that as you've seen it in person. Enjoy it and the nicer weather as it comes.
Congratulations on getting started, with Steph's encouragement and example I'm sure you'll do brilliantly! Let us know how it goes.
Good luck! Stick at and you will reap benifits and be oroud if your effirtd. You hsve done the hardest bit! Getting started!!!!
Welcome to the programme and a great motivating forum! Its lovely that your partner has been your inspiration and enjoy working towards that 5k together!

Many congratulations, Slideman. It is a great programme ( so far - I'm only on week 3!) and you'll find this a wonderful community of support and encouragement.
Brilliant - well done for getting out there, and welcome to this fab community. You'll have encouragement at home and here - how great is that
