I DID IT!!! WK1 R1!!!

21 Replies

I have just done WK1 R1 this morning and am really chuffed that I actually went and done it!!!

Was feeling really self conscious but after a couple of minutes I didn't care, was just me and laura and my lungs trying to burst out of my unfit chest!!!!

Managed it and felt middle runs a bit tough and better at the end, sore now at top of thighs.

There was a great big rainbow in the sky as I came home....I feel good!!!

And thanks for all the support I get on this forum, wouldn't have done it without the encouragement x.
