Week 6 done!!!

I was soooo keen and revved up to do this run i did it early and i bashed it! I normally run on a Monday Thurs Saturday morning to get my 3 in a week but tomorrow morning will be a hectic one so decided to do it tonight. My hubby was there as well as i do it on a treadmill in his garden shed/workshop and i think he was shocked that i was actually doing it. What on earth he thought I was doing down there instead of what i'd said is beyond me, but the proof was in the sweaty head and red cheeks today! And Laura's just told me I can offically call myself a runner now, me a runner! Who'd of ever thought it cause I didn't!!!

Think thats all my excitement spewed out into here, i'm off for a shower! Happy running everyone!!! xxx

The thought of going out and doing it scares the c**p out of me. I'm dieting at the same time with Slimming World and have big body confidence issues... I'll stick where i am for now and will venture out eventually, it will all come together ;) x

I love an excited post like this!

Well done, you're right to feel so pleased. And what a moment that is when Laura tells you that you are a runner - you must believe her cos you are indeed a runner!

Good luck with the rest :) x

You'll love being out running in the open air soon. The time flies when you're outside and the scenery changes constantly, making the runs just fly by

Well done you runner! I really liked hearing that too! Try and get outside soon, it really is so nice! Most of us have felt a little trepidation at running in public and choose our moments, like first thing in the morning! I felt a bit silly running for 60 seconds on the first week, and now I feel really slow and look it if I catch sight of myself in a window, but we're RUNNING! Most people can't do what we do, so sod 'em! Also, if you'd asked me when I started the programme if people jogged in my village I'd have said no, but I see someone jogging most days now. I think most people including me before just don't even notice runners.

Not what you're looking for?
