Welcome betcha and well done the first is the worst

Hi Betcha Congrats on your first run. You'll be hooked! Laura is brill. Hang on to her every word, she will teach you how to run during the course of the next 9 weeks. She spoon feeds you bit by bit so you're not overfaced with how-to's. The music gets pretty bad I warn you, but if you can put up with the music it will make you a better runner. LOL

You see, you can do it! And you will.

Keep posting and don't stop.

Congratulations for not hanging about thinking about it but getting out there. Running has given me a very positive attitude on life. C25k is very empowering and I am sure you will never regret starting it.

Keep running, keep smiling.

It does go quickly doesn't it? I'll be doing W2R2 tonight - let us know how your second run goes. Enjoy your rest day!

[tal31 Graduate]

Well done for getting out and starting. That's the hardest thing of all! Now you've just got to cope with the addiction

Hi Betcha,

I did my first run today, week 1 run 1 and I feel fantastic! Its an amazing experience to feel that I've completed it. I am very much looking forward to Wednesday run. Glad to hear you are feeling positive about this too! Good luck, I'm sure we can do this! Katherine

This is exactly how I felt two weeks ago, and I'm so surprised that after each run I'm still feeling just as good. I thought the feeling would wear off, but just stepped it up with week 3 run 1 and feel brilliant! Go us!

[fitmama]
