Hi everyone,

Sorry I have been a bit quiet this week have felt very fatigued so lots of early nights for me.

I have completed week two of C25K . All went well and no chest tightness when running, however, allergies have been really bad this week which has made my chest feel tight. Flowers and scented candles have really aggravated it.

I am really looking forward to week three and stepping it up to three minutes of running.

Happy Running

Well done Rebecca, your getting there slowly, even with the alergies playing up a bit. Are you an evening, post work runner, if so, the lighter evenings will help, i'm sure. 😊

9weeks2RunGraduate10 in reply to Peter44

Thank you so much Peter. I hope you are well and your hip/groin is feeling better?

Not at the moment, I tend to go out late morning. I am completely shattered by 6pm but hopefully that will change. I have been really focusing on doing my steps everyday, really enjoying that.

Take care x

Well done Rebecca on completing week 2. You are working your way back up there. 😁πŸ’ͺπŸ‘ How fantastic that you are getting no chest tightness from your running. Allergies are a different thing altogether though.Tree pollen is a big trigger for me but I think we're not quite there yet. The trees are still not quite breaking bud but the wood anemones are starting to flower.

What a pity about the Job Malone candles as they are so lovely

9weeks2RunGraduate10 in reply to Birdlady64

Thank you Birdlady.

I am so delighted and full of hope. The thought of being able to run 5k again is so amazing,

It is such a nuisance isn’t it.

Enjoy your run on Saturday x

Well done you πŸ‘ I am at exactly the same point as you. Week 2 completed ( again πŸ™„πŸ˜)

I have found it very hard mentally to go back to the beginning....but armed with my trusty inhaler....I am trying to get into the mindset....you did it before and you will do it again.

I will watch your progress with interest.

Doing a fabulous job. Keep running πŸ’•
