Soooooo week 1 COMPLETED!

[herewego86]

I never in a billion years thought I'd ever RUN 8 minutes 3 times in 1 week... In public! I'm so proud of myself.

Run 2 wasn't so great as you might have read. But i went the same way around my loop. So run 1 was up a steady hill which I Smashed! And run 7 (my killer) was up a steep hill and I ran the whole way up. Just as I got to the top of it I had to start walking but just as I did "you can start walking" booooooom!!! (Also helped that LMFAO "sexy and you know it" was playing! Hahah)

Here's to Friday and week *two* thank you to everyone for the support!!

Well done! I try to avoid hills at all costs! Fantastic that you're getting up them in week 1! Good luck for week 2, you can do it!

Well done for doing week one!!! It gets harder but it's all do-able and it gets more addictive. Hills are not essential by the way.....don't make it too hard, the point of this is to get you to run for 30 minutes

I wish I could avoid them but no matter where I go I have to go up and down them. I take them slow and believe it or not but when I make it up the hill it keeps me motivated for the next run kinda like "well I've done the hard part this flat is easy!" Lol

Well done - plenty of running adventures to look forward to.

Yay! More progress! Well done and enjoy your next run

You're rightly proud of what you're doing now. Think of how you'll feel when you're running 5k in a few weeks and not aching afterwards!

You will!
