So I planned on starting week one of C25K on Monday. I couldn't go until late in the day after my husband got home from work (so he could watch the baby), and it was a hot muggy day, and I'd been moving furniture (bookcases and so forth) around all day. Point is, I was tired and cranky and didn't want to go drive to base to work out in the hot sun. But I made myself go!
Aaaaand then it turned out my ipod was dead so I couldn't follow the C25K program. So I took a walk instead and decided I'd start the C25K on Tuesday. I figured I'd be free Tuesday night, and Noah would be home from work earlier, and it was supposed to be cooler anyway.
Aaaand then I had an IUD put in Tuesday morning and spent the evening bleeding like crazy and whimpering on the couch because of cramps. So I figured I'd nurse the cramps and start C25K on Wednesday. Wednesday was pleasantly cool all day, and I didn't have anything to do during the day, so I would have no excuse to not go.
Aaaaand then there was a massive thunderstorm all Wednesday afternoon. SO. I figured screw it, I'll go Thursday, for the love of god, and nothing had better stop me.
And lo, Thursday went as planned, and it was good.
The workout itself was great - the track is nice (flat and dirt, not too busy, lots of pretty trees and good people-watching), I only got rained on a little, and I'm still retaining enough fitness from pre-pregnancy that it was pretty easy. I'm not going to push it, lest my guts fall out through my incision or something, but it's nice that it isn't too hard yet. I'm going to do day 2 tomorrow morning and then skip to week 2 starting Monday. I figure that should be fine, since I already did two days of week one last week around my neighborhood. Can't wait until I'm running/jogging/shuffling more than 60 seconds at a time!

I looked at the site and should try this program. I started myself on a walking program that led to me losing that weight and getting fit, unfortunately I'm not anymore. I noticed that it has not been translated to German or Farsi so maybe you two should do that and submit them to the site. Good luck and keep going.
