*waves the newbie wave*
Hi there!
I am new! And also semi-new to running. Semi because I tried it both three and two years ago, but it never really stuck. But this time it will ;) My boyfriend and I want to get fitter and to get us motivated we set a date for us: mid-June at one of the city races: me doing 5K, him doing 10K. So after I hand in my Master's thesis tomorrow, I am going to buy new headphones, download the Couch25K podcast and start Wednesday morning.
Any fellow newbies here? Or if you aren't, how did you start and what helped you through in the first few weeks?

In that case, since my biggest problem is getting off my ass, it helps me to tell myself I just have to do a short run. Tiny little run! Then as soon as I go to put my shoes on, I'm usually ready to run longer than that.
(I have only been doing very short runs this winter (2.5K), though, but it's still more than I have any other winter, so I'm hoping I'm not starting quite so from scratch as usual.)
