Couch to 5K, moving into week 2

I'm on fire, I tell you. I'm getting around to starting week 2 of couch to 5k version 2. I tried a pair of running shorts (these, I think). I think the 5lbs I have left in The Fat Runner's weight loss challenge (I've made mine a 6 week challenge) will help these shorts fit a little better, but I was pleasantly surprised even today. A little riding up, but not too much chafing, though I certainly wouldn't try these on a longer run quite yet. They did the trick for 20 minutes, though. Also went to the park to do pushups and situps even though the rain last night meant the grass was wet and I have no hope of wearing those clothes again without washing them. I can definitely tell I'm getting stronger. Kind of a boring run, no one doing anything funny or extra fun music, but I'm pleased that I was up and running by 6:30.

Have you checked out BodyGlide yet? That stuff really helps in the chafing department.
Congrats on the weight loss! Keep kicking butt!

Hi John. I'm a Body Glide lover, it's true, but the chub rub still gets me. Maybe someday I'll have those skinny runner legs that only barely touch at the top (U-shaped crotch, my aunt calls them) but I doubt it...
