Forgot to say the Couch to 5K is brilliant. I have tried running before on my own and have given up - Laura really keeps me going.

I am really enjoying running and getting out there. Need my foot to mend so I can go again. Any idea how long I should leave it before going again?

I hated running when I was in school (and I haven't run since!). Discovered this programme in February and I agree that it's brilliant.

I do think though, that it is in part my stubbornness that saw me through to the end. I was determined I wasn't going to give up. That attitude got me through my degree and giving up a smoking habit almost overnight (I was 20 a day Monday-Thursday, 40+ a day Friday-Sunday) .

Mind over matter works. Sorry don't know enough about your foot problem to offer any advice here. X
