Hi, there. I've been lurking on the main board, but I just found this group. Tomorrow will be W3D1 of C25K for me. This is my third attempt at the program -- lack of motivation, bad planning, and, one time, a shot at doing too much too soon that benched me for six weeks and destroyed my enthusiasm. I won't be trying that one again! But it's the getting back up, not the falling down, right? The main thing I've changed this time around is that I've ditched the treadmill and got out into the outside world, and it's pretty amazing how much more I'm enjoying it.

I'm definitely a big fan of jogging outside. People say it tears up your legs, but if you have the right circumstances you'll end up no worse for the wear. Besides, it's nice to have an actual destination! Welcome welcome welcome! I love this group...everyone is really supportive of each other. It's great. Hold tight and keep it up.

Welcome. I'm an outdoor runner, too. The treadmill gave me a terrible shin splint.
