Good luck everyone :)

Oh ok, so then, I can pace myself up to 5K. Since I am kind of beginner to running, if I can mix them up, I should be able to do it. I am game.

Welcome everyone! and welcome to those who have signed up since my last post!
I've added you to the list.
If anyone notices anything wrong with their stats in the OP, just let me know and i'll change them!

Ikahead - It works towards 5'ks! the program is great.
It starts off easy and then progresses over 9 weeks so in the end, you are able to run 5k's in 30 minutes!
Here's a link to the program:
http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.s html
And like it says, if you find it is too much too fast, just repeat the first week twice or make the periods of walking longer.

Also...
I posted a link in the OP to a motivational thread i set up for the Couch-to-5k, so if anyone is interested in doing it as a group to motivate each other, please go to...
http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/1046 82.html
It will just help this thread from getting too chaotic!

Ok... Now myself :)
Man i am really looking forward to this month!

Hello all,

I am so excited about this. I  truly am.  My goals seem less ominous when I handle them in small chunks like one month at a time.

Thanks so much for doing this challenge.  Good luck everyone!!!
