Another attempt.

I am trying this again as I gave up last time on wk6 or 7 can't remember. It is well over a year since I gave up.I have been putting it off as I was a bit scared I wouldn't manage it but to my surprise I did the first two runs on wk1 very comfortably. I just hope I can keep my motivation up this time but I felt SO good when I finished each run. Fingers crossed.

Focus on that feeling. The good feeling of satsifaction when you have achieved something you didn't think you could do. 'cos this programme is going to take you places you never thought would be possible. And of course, post regularly and let us all cheer you on - it makes a big difference

Thank you Tomas. I know the feeling is great after the session is complete I just wish I could have a bit of that beforehand. I remember the feeling last time when I completed the 20min run while doing "The Race for Life" it was amazing. I will try to keep this in mind.

Do you know why you gave up last time? A lot of this is mind as well as body so just imagine us lot with you every step of the way urging you on. You'll probably find it easier this time as your body will remember! Well done and good luck.

[Maturelady Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Thanks Irishprincess I seem to remember giving up because I just go so tired and hot when doing the longer runs, but I think I just gave up too easily.

[Maturelady Graduate]

Thanks for all the good wishes. I remember all the great comments last time and it really does help so thanks guys.

I have just signed up for the "Race for Life" in Southport in June. I am doing this as my best friend has only days to live with lung cancer. Hopefully she will be with me in spirit when I do it.
