Just started, W1D1 after a four month layoff. I was out of breath during the running portions, so I need to slow it down a bit. I wish I could string some time together running, I seem to quit just as my times start to come down.

Decker Challenge 09/12
I'm still monitoring...
Habits take a few weeks to get set in place. Stick with it, it does get easier... and the pain will also ease off after awhile.
bob e v 2013 goals: keep on running! Is there anything more than that?
Finish halves, 3M Half 1/13 and probably Decker Challenge in DecHistory: blessed heart attack 3/15/2008; c25k july 2008 first 5k 10/26/2008 on 62nd birthday.

Thanks for the encouragement, bobev. Girmann, looks like you made a New Year's resolution, as did I, to get back at it. Way to keep it up! I actually had to walk for two weeks before beginning the c25k.
Brisk walk this morning, looking forward to running again tomorrow.
C25K W1D2, still out of breath on the running portions...wow, I only had a 4 month layoff, though it was a lazy time I expected this to be easier!
Slow down on the running portion. Stay in conversational range, even if it means walking. Gotta build endurance gradually. Going to fast will generate injuries - been there, done that, got more than one t-shirt
De-slacking in progress
finished with 2.5 year couch sitting marathon.
EPIC FAIL- life got in the way this year- reset goal in progress..... <script>// </script> <script></script>
No advice here, slaptear2, but welcome back! W1D3 for me today, didn't feel any easier, but I'm looking forward to stretching my legs a bit with week 2.
Got in a nice, brisk walk today in mild but overcast weather. Looking forward to beginning week 2 tomorrow!
Skipped the run yesterday, as I didn't feel well, so I started week 2 of c25k this morning. It went well, but I'm still going out too fast. It's amazing to me that I could lose fitness this much since October, but I've also gained weight so I'm sure that's impacting my fitness as well. Should be walking tomorrow.
Got in my second run of week 2 today. It did feel a smidgen easier today, so maybe I'm going in the right direction. Busy week ahead, happy running all!
Good job Ben! Keep it up. I finished my 4th half marathon this morning. Overactive bladder clobbered me so no PB but I finished which was main goal! Took me abt 20 months from starting C25K to be able to run a half. So keep up the good work!
You are not alone. I was up to 5 miles in October. Now I'm in W4 rebuilding a base. As far as the weight goes, I'm right there too. Maybe you shouldn't have such a strong pie-bond. Sorry about that groaner, but I couldn't resist when I saw your name.
Oh, boy, Chup, that was a bad, bad joke! lol I remember you from last year (I had a different screen name). Glad to see you're still hanging in there!
