I think your new running shoes have wings!

Well done on your run.

Well done! I too am on week 4. I found run 1 really difficult to start with, so much so that I only managed half of the first 5 minute run. The other two runs were fine. I did run 2 today and thankfully got my groove on and loved it! Great that you are enjoying it so much and that time is flying....I am dreading Laura's voice telling me I'm half way through at the moment ....she really needs to shut up when I think I've ran further than I actually have!

I think she's a useful distraction tactic and she should but in a bit more. You tend to pay attention to her while you're running and then you focus on her and before you know it she's saying...and now slow down.......!

Well done too. I really want to do run 2 tomorrow but my knees have been aching a bit so I am having a 2 day pause. So it will be Saturday morning! I've been doing a run every other day and motoring through the runs but I think I might have overdone it. As the runs get longer my knees are playing up. It's probably the extra 4 stone I'm going to lose.....5 pounds down so far....

Not what you're looking for?
