Need a C25k buddy

[Raenstoirm]

I am new to running. Even as a child I hated to run. Tag was not my thing! Anyway this C25K intrigues me and I would like to give it a go. I have been holding out till it got above freezing so ideally i wouldn't slip on ice and kill myself! Granted last night/today we are in a horrible ice storm, so my plan is not working, but anyway. I was thinking of starting the plan sometime mid next month (the ice storm sort of discouraged the March 1 idea). When i asked my fiancé to join, he looked at me like I was crazy (I am going to keep working on him), so I need someone I can count on. The group on the C25k thread have all been doing it for a while, and I would prefer a newbie to running like me. Anyone interested in starting the plan next month?

I just started Week 1, day 1 today..so if you still need a buddy we can encourage each other.

I had tried it once before, but pushed too hard and ended up with tendonititis in my right ankle. This time I am going to hold strictly to the plan and not exceed it no matter how good I feel.

Hi
I'm starting today. I started it 2 months ago but we kept having bad weather. It's going to be in the 50's this week. I'm going to the minnie marathon (15K) in may and thought this would be good training. I don't plan on jogging the whole thing but thought this would help me if I jog part of it to finish on time.

wow! Good for you! My goal is to someday do one of the runs at WDW, but I don't know if I could do one this year!

Hello,

I just restarted the C25K after I injured my knee. I am on W3D2 and may repeat repeat week 3 next week. It seems easier this go around but I want to be kind to my poor joints and am taking it slow. I am trying to convince myself that Ilove running...I am not there yet.

P.S. I am in the Annapolis, Maryland area. So cheers to another Marylander!

Today is W2D2. So far so good.
I love Annapolis! My future fil used to live there. He retired down to Richmond last year. We went once over the summer just to wander around the waterfront. I live in the Kentlands which is Gaithersburg/North Potomac just up 270.

In what seems like another lifetime, I used to do bird research for the Smithsonian and we had a few field sites out your way. You are about 40 minutes from me.

Congrats on the upcoming wedding!
