Well done, Edward.

If you can combine fun and fitness, all the better. Foe example, if you feel better going at a slower pace, slow down. With regular exercise you'll grow stronger and faster. As long as you're out there.

After 13 marathons I've fallen into a 'fun and fitness' routine that includes a lot less running and more miles on a recumbent exercise bike. It's a low cost way to read or watch TV while complimenting running outside. I'm enjoying the book 'Long Way Down' while pedalling to keep in shape for hockey.

Keep healthy out there.

Speaking of RunKepeper, I made this video with RunKeeper, Google Earth, Snap Pro X & iMovie:

Thanks, I'm really happy with the results. I know that it is a long road ahead, but I'm really motivated to see this program through to the end.

Congratulations on your first week done! I just started the Couch to 5k program yesterday, also using RunKeeper to help make it a little more bearable. Glad to find other folks like me looking to get back into shape!
