RUNNERS HIGH!

[hakuna-matata]

Hi everyone! Love this forum! You all are like sunshine. Yesterday I finished week 1 and I loved it. The first run was VERY HARD. The second much easier, and the third kind of a breeze. I love the bliss I feel for hours afterward. I run at 5:00 a.m. and it just kick starts my day. What a punch. I'm 53 yrs old and have never been a runner. A walker in the past, but pretty much a couch potato for the past couple of years. I am hooked and I know I can go all the way.

Oh it sounds like you are completely hooked already So embrace it and you'll enjoy the challenge! That's what this journey is - you will experience both highs and lows, good and bad, easy and difficult! The gremlins some times creep into your head with there negitive thoughts but you tell them were to go (politely of course ) and you will carry on wth determination and stubbornness to the very end! On what a great feeling Happy running xx

Welcome and well done :-).

Before I started I was very nervous and worried. I read this forum for a few days and got the courage to begin - I was so inspired by the many posts from people feeling like I did and the the tales and encouragement - it's fantastic.

So you sound right up for this so keep up the good work and enjoy

[misswobble Graduate]

Good! Glad to hear it

Take care, go slow - just jog! You need to finish this thing

Good luck!

Well done, it's a huge achievement! I honest to goodness never thought I would be able to run for 60 seconds in the beginning, but the programme is excellent. Not always easy, nothing worthwhile ever is...but worth keeping on
