*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?

- fixed times for running (for example tuesday and friday in the mornings, which is what I was doing last year for a while; now it's at noon on fridays and another date I still have to establish - maybe tuesday morning)
- a running buddy! I've run alone for the longest time, but I definitely run better, longer and have more fun when I'm not alone.
