Couch to 5 K

So, I've decided to go for it.  I'm going to start the Couch to 5K program.  I was tempted to sign up for a local 5k, but after checking that it's only 5 weeks away I decided to wait a bit.  I think it would be more realistic to plan for something in June, but wait until May to register for it.  I want to make sure that I make good progress on the program and don't get any injuries.  


It's a 9 week program, and provided I don't have to repeat any weeks I should be ready for a 5K run in June.  June 5th will be my goal date to run a 5K, but if I need extra weeks to get there then that's just fine.  I know I will get there.  I'm going to head over to the Gym tonight and start Day one, week one.

Has anyone done (or tried) this program before?  any comments or advice?

It's a great program for building endurance and getting in shape. Don't expect too much from in in the way of weight loss for the first six weeks of conditioning. You will be losing fat, but for various exercise physiology reasons, it might be a little slow to show up on the scale.
