Week 6 Completed!!

[Arrietty]

Very excited to have completed Week 6 in 6 weeks!!! I never thought I could run. Previous attempts have ended in knee pain/shin splints etc and I decided I must just not have the right body for it...

Anyway I've been lurking on the forum all this time, reading everyone else's posts, gaining loads of support and advice so I thought I'd say hello and thanks to everyone who was brave enough to post right from the start :o))

I did my first two sessions after dark wearing black (teehee) but am now out and proud in daylight even though I run at snail's pace and have been overtaken by dog walkers!! I think this programme is fab and the forum has really helped me too :o)

Brilliant, well done, now you are past week 6 it is just a matter of building up. Just relax and enjoy and remember to take it easy!

Well done you! There seems to be an observation period where we read posts on the forum before starting to post ourselves - it was the case for me too. I started running in an old saggy pair of track-suit bottoms and a black t-shirt, now I've got an in-ya-face lurid pink running top, lycra shorts and vile yellow and pink trainers. Why? I want to be visible if I fall into the ditch

Haha brilliant!!
