Staying in shape has never been a problem for me...depends which shape you like though...I prefer round for myself.

Actually, I did the First Day to 5k by Podrunners intervals. I thought it was MUCH better than Couch to 5k. It included the music, which was the right BPM, and.... you could add on to do an 8k, 10k, etc... http://www.djsteveboy.com/intervals.html
It's also on iTunes, as a free PodCast.

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
Otherwise I start running and don't look at the time and miss the intervals...
Hi BobbiJo, Have you considered buying a running watch? I've always used the Timex Ironman - it has an 'interval timer' which you can use to set any combination or walk/run intervals. It beeps every time you are to switch, and counts your intervals too. And they're cheaper than a new ipod. (Here in Canada they run about $70). Good luck with the running!
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
Hey, thanks for posting the links! Great timing-I had just decided to start working towards a 5k and this put me into action. I started today. Does it get easier I hope??? I'm going to try to do it earlier in the day so will be cooler. It was brutal at 11:30. BTW, I have a small little mp3 player and I found directions on the internet about putting podcasts on there. You save it to your desktop and put in folder view, click on My Computer, then double-click on your Mp3 player, find the "music" folder or "podcasts" folders (it worked in both folders for me) and drag the podcast icon to either music or podcasts. I did them both b/c I wasn't sure which one, and I was able to pull it up by both on my ipod; I could have just done one of them, but now I guess I have a backup.
It's ok, my kids love it too!
