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.
What a lovely comment about your colleagues. Running is such an amazing phenomenon, you just want to share that good feeling with others, and there is a real bond between runners too.
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.
