About a year ago I posted a thread about starting the Couch-to-5k program, but I honestly never stuck with it. Five weeks ago I tried it again with a couple of friends and today marked the end of week five which is the two mile run (or twenty minutes). We were successful in completing the two mile run without stopping with energy left to spare! There was a fantastic sea breeze and mist-like rain that felt amazing. We all had our doubts about whether we would be able to finish or not but we did.

I might just jump on the bandwagon and treat myself to a better pair of shoes because the ones I have are almost shot. And to top it all off I've dropped from 275lbs to 259 after hovering at the same weight for nearly six months! If you haven't tried this program you really should. If you HAVE, please share you experience. And did it help or harm your cycling performance? Weight loss improvements or gains?
