C25K Mom?

I really, really want to start C25K, but I'm TERRIFIED.

I was never a runner. At my healthiest (just before getting pregnant), I had plenty of endurance (stair climbers, ellipticals, etc.) - but never had the courage to try and run. I always thought that running was for "real" athletes. I was strong and healthy, but I saw people who ran as being waaay above my league.

So now, after a couple of weeks of getting back on the wagon, I feel like I could be ready. I'm just worried that I'll either fail miserably, or ... die trying.

If I try this, I will be doing it while pushing a 30lb jogging stroller carrying a 25lb toddler. I'm already planning on hitting easier terrain (flat ones), but still ... me, still out of shape, pushing all that weight while trying to jog ... it just sounds like I'm asking for trouble.

I'm sure many, many moms have been in this situation and have gotten through it successfully. I know I'm not alone, but you know? Sometimes, it doesn't matter how much company you keep (or how supportive they are), because in the end, it's all up to me to give it my best shot.

Tomorrow I will try to build up enough cojones to start this. We shall see.
