I'm still doing the C25K, but I missed (OMGosh, did I just type "Missed"?!?!) the intensity of the HIIT.

Like FSA said, it's never to late to join! We've got a few C25K'ers here--3 of us just finished the first week (me, Delphi & ShrinkingGirl), so you'll have plenty of company there!

Jump right in and good luck with your August goals!!

Woo Hoo! Only 2 weeks left of C25K and today felt really good! I got 2 exercise dvd's from the library, but haven't had time to try them out. They're both due back tomorrow...OOPS! Today I will try one and hopefully tomorrow I'll try the other. One is yoga-style for the abs, tho other is pilates. I'm sure they're both good. They were recommended in a fitness magazine a while back. We'll see...
