Couch Potato to 5k

I read about this program a year or two ago and thought it was a great idea. Jeff and I actually started it and kept up with the program for a few weeks and then stopped. It's a good program to slowly work your way up from not being a runner to being able to run a distance of 5k in about 2 months.

One of the Amazing Ladies challenged the rest of us to do the entire Couch Potato to 5k Program (C25k) and then run a Turkey Trot at Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is more than 2 months away, but this way there's room to repeat a week if needed. I don't know if we'll do a Turkey Trot, but at the very least I am determined to run 5k on the treadmill or something if we don't somewhere near Thanksgiving. Though there is something to be said about running it with 20 other Amazing Ladies (or however many of us there are) and some of their dogs and husbands all across the country to encourage each other.

I convinced Jeff to try it with me again, so he's doing his own version and will start running with me when he gets moved back here. I'm starting at week one because my asthma kind of kicks my butt if I just start trying to run a mile out of the blue.

I do wonder, though.

• Would you continue the program if your mp3 player reset itself 3 times during your first workout?
  
• And you stuck your key in your shoe (because you don't have pockets in your shorts and one hand holds the mp3 player while the other holds your inhaler) and it suddenly disappeared?
  
• So you had to stop in the middle (when the mp3 player was actually doing the right thing) of your program, sit down in the grass to take your shoe off causing you to break out in a rash (because you're allergic to grass) and look for your key?
• Only to find that it wedged itself between the sole of the shoe and the insoles you wear to make your shoes more comfy?

I will totally be repeating Week 1, Day 1 later this week. *le sigh*
