Me, I'll do it! I always feel like I'm at death's door during the first 5 minutes too. Could do with a personal cheerleader to spur me on but hubby refuses to cycle along side with a megaphone shouting encouragement! Last night I dreamt I was running in duck feet flippers and this morning I probably looked like I was. Next run try picture yourself dressed as Daffy or Woody Woodpecker. Believe me, it'll make you smile! xx

Hahaha orrrrr we could dress as daffy or woody!!!! That would make everyone else laugh! At least my music worked thus run.... Last run it stopped on the last 5 & it was awful to listen to my gasping attempts to stay alive xxxx

I read that as gasping along to 'Staying Alive' and I thought , how the heck does she do that ? Then I realised....hope your music stays with you for run 3.

I'd love the distraction xxxxxxx

Well done on completing week 7 run 2. I'm sure you're finding the weeks are going by very quickly now - graduation is not that far off. Good luck with your next run and best wishes.

Just did my week 7 run 2 today. We're on the same schedule "JustLisa"! Mine went OK today although I take it very slowly. I run by a bay and because I don't want to run on a hard surface, I run in the horse trail there. As I was running, I suddenly heard a noise and a horse and rider appeared. Needless to say, they overtook me!

Woohoooo you did it!!!!! And I'm sure it's completely acceptable to be beaten by a horse hehe!!! Run 3 tomorrow.... Let's nail it!!!!!
