How do you set time and date?

I have been trying to walk to gear up to start C25K soon as I am terribly out of shape. When walking, I am having a terrible time with ankle pain. It is a burning, excruciating pain that goes up the outside of my ankles. From researching it appears to be possibly peroneal (sp?) tendonitis. I am certain that it is related to both my size and my previous lack of activity but I am having a really hard time powering through it. Will it go away in time? Also, any suggestions to help to prevent/ease this pain in the mean-time would be greatly appreciated. I am really psyched up and excited to start C25K and I don't want to lose that excitement over this.

Who's got two thumbs and is a graduate of C25K? ::this guy:: Through my struggle with this adventure I continually researched methods to get through the pain and keep on running. What have I learned? I learned that Nike has the right idea and I seriously never knew what it meant until now. All you have to do is "Just Do It". No really. Excuses suck. Lace up your shoes, turn on some motivating tunes and go. And don't stop until you're done. You're a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for. Don't scoff at what I'm saying. I've been where you are and it sucks. The only person that can make you better is you. No one ran for me. I accomplished this on my own and it feels great. My first 5k is on May 2nd. My ultimate goal is a sub-25 minute time. Just throwing it out there for the sake of accountability. Just. Do. It.
