I said I was going to run today and despite that extra glass of wine that I would have been better without, I ran. Perhaps if I had not put it on here I may have wimped out.

I live in a hill place so decided I would rather go up hill first and then down on the way back. The first few runs were hard but much easier on the way back. So chuffed

It really is :)

I've just completed week 6, and I've found it very useful.

People who are on the same week as you will egg you on, people who are further on will build your confidence and offer tips and advice, and people who are earlier in the plan will show you how far you've come!

Not much choice from here unless I drive and that just seems to increase the likely hood of me not going.

Thanks to all for the encouragement. Think I am going to be sore tomorrow as we have been cutting hedge today and weeding
