Hi from a newbie

[randomfive]

I am extremely new to running. As a teen, whenever I had to run I ended up with knee problems afterward, possibly from not stretching right. Years have past, and now I'm ready to try again. I have downloaded the "Podrunner:Intervals" for the Couch to 5K. The first time I tried it, the time was late so walked/jogged in place inside. I got through it, but next day had a sore knee. Yesterday, I tried it outside and got about 15 min. in. I stopped due to an inability to catch my breath. This going to be a slow process. I did give in and buy a MP3 player for this, so I am committed to trying.

Thank you for the encouragement. I will definitely start off with slow jogging next time. My enthusiasm got ahead of my body's ability.
