    Wow, you guys are doing great with lots of daily exercise! Way to go!

    C25K again today. I looked up tips online and found a blog entry by a woman who did it and started as unfit as I am, basically. Her advice was to slow way down when there was a segment that was super challenging. Well, I did that today for the 5 minute intervals and it worked like a charm! I didn't have to take a break! Of course, I'm jogging super slow, but I'm jogging still! Also, it helps with the mental blocks I get that I can complete the intervals.

    And thanks for the pep talks, guys! They helped a LOT.

    gardenerjoy: Thanks for the welcome! And I'm hoping since others who are equally unfit have done it that I have a chance of successfully completing C25K. Thanks for the support!

    MonteCristo: Thanks! It's good to hear you've done it before successfully, and that my current struggle is not unusual. I think it helped to know you've overcome it before, so I know it can be done!
