Nuala Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Another instrument player! We should make a band! Piano, violins and trumpet. It would be a killer band, well, we are assassins after all. Welcome!

lemongranita Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Good luck! I did C25k on my first challenge and despite struggling with painful calves, the progress was amazing. Hope you find the same.

Artemis Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks for the warm reception. Progress so far: practiced trumpet for an hour yesterday and recieved my copy of You Are Your Own Gym. I read the entire thing last night (only skimmed the workouts that I won't be needing for the beginner program). Today I did my first workout session. On a side note I may be working out 4 times weekly because that's what YAYOG calls for. Haven't done the C25K yet. I need to get over that feeling that someone is watching (negative conotation) and start running because NF and my future self are watching. It'll be fun soon as I stop being stupid and just DO IT.
