Wk5#2 in the bag

Well who would have said 6 weeks ago that I would have become a runner and started to enjoy it?!

I am baffled and amaZed. Hats off to this program.

Bring on the biggy of #3- I am almost excited! The last couple of runs I have felt like I could go on a bit longer so assume my fitness is improving.

Also amazed at the body of people on this forum supporting one another- really is fab! Thanks everyone!

Well done. It's great innit.

Run 3 was quite hard, but not as bad as I thought. I pretty much don't fear anything now I have got that one out of the way.

Even ordered a GPS watch to track my training. ( also has an S.O.S button in case of heart attack)

Well done airhare. You'll smash that third run. We are all willing you along.

I'm like you...almost excited to see if I can overcome that challenge. It does seem to be the one that everyone worries about.

Wishing you masses of luck xx

Thanks all- I did 20 minutes and still can't quite believe it. On a hangover too!

I thought I would, but I felt a little sick with my hangover, ;-) oops. I wasn't triumphant as I thought I would be. I ate a fried egg sarnie afterwards and felt much better. Looking forward to my wk6 now...
