Push-ups are my nemesis! I can't do one either! I have started doing wall push-ups and push-ups on park benches and plan to work towards for real pushups. Great job with the jogging! Are you keeping up with it? You should be very proud. :) 3 years ago I couldn't jog three miles. I completed my first marathon this past October and strongly believe that if I can do it, most anyone can. Keep up your hard work and I look forward to hearing about your progress. How are you doing with your goals?

Just found your blog due to leeks, and now have some sort of leek potato soup on the stove. I only run so the consumption of beer doesn't catch up with me, and apparently this soup with a cup of cream and a few tablespoons of butter.

Bonus points for them!

I'll be writing another post soon with details of my progress...I'm doing really well! I switched to Cool Running's Couch to 5K plan because I wasn't doing well with the back-to-back friday/saturday runs. C25K is awesome!! I just finished Week 4 and I've actually been able to keep up! Every time I feel like I can't do it, I end up having a breakthrough and it turns out that I can! Haven't been working too much on the push-ups yet but have been lifting weights several times a week and working on strengthening my legs and my core. Feeling good!

Two miles in 20 minutes, everyday will work. As for the push-ups, you can use the edge of the bed to get started.You'll be able to work on form, and progress upward in reps. When your confidence level builds, you can move to the floor. Will look forward on how you'll do. (Small world - did EOD work as well.) If the run/jog doesn’t work out, the walking will.

I dreaded that dang mile run in elementary school, and the situps? Forget it. I recently started lifting weights and love the difference I can feel in my muscles, but the cardio portion of my exercise isn't exactly stellar. It's actually nonexistent. SO. I saw your twitter about Couch to 5K...looked into it...and this weekend, I got running shoes! I'm starting tomorrow, a little nervous, but excited. Thanks for the push I needed to get out there. Keep us updated about your progress, and I'll do the same :) OK, so the beginning of this post could have TOTALLY been written by me.

I would like to tell you that I couldn't finish the run in P.E. when I was in school too. I can't do more than 10-time situp and my mom can't do any! Your plan encourages me :) I hate jogging since it sometimes hurt my ankles but I"m starting one (not on the concrete where I usually perform the running). New shoes here I come~ Hi there
